The rest of his kit could be complete garbage, and I'd still think this is crazy. Even if it is heavily gated by cooldowns it seems obscene. | ||

It's basically Diana passive but it works with spells, slows enemy champions (80% for 3 seconds at level 11, what?), and gives him a speed buff equal to the slow. I would expect there to be a significant difference in damage given the above, but it's only 50 base damage and a 0.1 AP scaling difference, which is nuts considering how much easier it will probably be to trigger it against champions since it works with spells. All that extra junk compared to poor Diana's 20% extra attack speed lol. The rest of his kit could be complete garbage, and I'd still think this is crazy.

Everything that can sustain his harass is a soft win (e.g. cloth armor + 5 pots, or flask +3), meaning that if he doesn't kill you or completely zone you and you have enough pressure on him to diminish his roams - its a win. If you talk about hard wins: Ranged champs like Brand, Syndra, Ahri, Lulu are pain in the ass, Darius is a worth mention, I won't be surprised if Rumble/Vlad are also a problem. You mentioned Malph and I would add Sion, but these are again soft wins, they dont have kill/zone pressure on panth p.s. Back in the day as you put it, Olaf was a huge problem for Panth, but this was before the rework, no idea how it is now. | ||

You could be a dick and play Yorick, Olaf might be okay. Elise maybe, but I think she was nerfed too hard. | ||

I don't like the cheese strat on panth though. Unless I'm v Riven or some shit I hard-counter, it'll never work. Prefer to just run TP and go bruiser.

After Ekko procs his passive on someone he's locked out of stacking it again until 3 seconds have past. That said, I think the slow/speed boost are probably overkill. I also bet dollars to donuts that Riot walks back the "enemies can't see where you placed his W" thing at some point. | ||

If they're trying to cheese you, you can just go cloth/5pot and win by default. I don't like the cheese strat on panth though. Unless I'm v Riven or some shit I hard-counter, it'll never work.
