Still better in lane, but there are reasons. | ||

Read your post, and I disagree with it. I'm not a Pantheon player, but here's my two cents on the issue: People QQing on the forums about Pantheon isn't an issue. What causes the QQ is an issue; Pantheon being too strong, or at least too good of a pubstomper. While your analysis of HSS is pretty much spot on, I believe you can have less drastic solutions to the issue: First, not all champions need to be equally good in early, mid and lategame. Zilean and LeBlanc are strong in early game, but weak in lategame; Tryndamere and Sivir aren't too good in early game, but are very strong in late game. As such, having a champion who excels at laning and small-scale encounters isn't a problem in and of itself. Second, you can tweak the champion around so as to give him interesting tradeoffs for early midgame. Make it painful to max HSS as early as possible, by making the opportunity cost high; i) For Spear Shot, you could change its scaling with AD to something like 60/85/110/135/160%, or give it a higher base cooldown which decreases with skill level, making it significantly weaker for midgame if it's low level (adjust base damage upwards as appropriate to not mess with him without AD items). ii) For Aegis, you could make its stun less reliable for hitting a full HSS until Aegis is at higher skill levels (might already be this way), or make its range scale with skill level. The idea here is to give Pantheon interesting tradeoffs so that he has real weaknesses in exchange for maxing out HSS early and making it so potent. On a related note, I wonder how giving Pantheon bonus armor / mres during HSS channeling would work to make the move more viable in team fights... it shouldn't make it stronger during laning because people are desperately trying to get away from him, not hitting him back during HSS. It could be like a mini Meditate from Yi. | ||

It could be like a mini Meditate from Yi. HSS, at the moment, is Pantheon's worst skill. Easily, imo. And it's still the reason he's banned (he's strictly worse playing off the other two skills now than he was when no one cared about him). Making the tradeoffs worse for HSS than they are now is the wrong solution because you're already better off going for Q > W > E, with cutting W off at rank 3 making some amount of sense, but not a lot. I mean, I've already said everything I want to say in that post. HSS FEELS UNFAIR. That's the problem in a nutshell. People get unhappy when they get instagibbed by 1 ability that has to be that strong to be worthwhile later. It's a move that's plagued by being extremely high risk in a teamfight, and extremely low risk in smaller encounters, thus making the reward impossible to balance correctly. | ||

actually, i don think anyone would've missed HSS at all if they removed it from the game, and panth would still be fine with just Q,W and R... well sorta... | ||

But really, the pre-circle is awesome, since you don't have to type "jumping bot" etc during channel time then missing the stun afterwards haha. | ||

I totally got to play him once last night though, it just required an afk captain on the opposing team =P. Theoretically speaking, I like the new Black Cleaver a ton on Pantheon. | ||

boots 2 d-blades ghostblade mercs the follow up varies depends on how you're playing him. I tend to not rely on E when I do get him, so my new go-to follow up to ghostblade is Black Cleaver, but I don't bother with cleaver vs. high armor teams (counter intuitive, but Cleaver is best vs. low armor targets). Bloodthirster is still sick as hell. SotD is outclassed by Black cleaver as an AS item IMO, as it gives you better stats for panth and serves the exact same purpose (to do true damage vs. lower Armor Targets). Last Whisper is still your answer vs. high armor opponents. uhhh 0/9/21 ghost/flash straight ArPen + Mana Regen/Level Runing qwqeqr r > q > e >= w, IMO, though E first builds can work vs. low CC teams. | ||
