What about setting up a countergank when the inevitable jungle pressure comes? Panth + whoever your jungler is should be able to wreck a 2v2, right?

(Warning: Requires knowing where the hell the enemy jungler is, or just having your jungler follow you in to an early level 1 or level 3 2v1 and trying to catch the opponent extra hard and hoping their jungler doesn't show up in a way that dicks you over.)

Pick up a kill or 2 before jungler comes, when jungler comes pick up a double kill:p

today i had the chance to try out pantheon top lane
i started with doran blade and totally destroyed lee sin (he had exhaust/flash w/ cloth armor opening)

thanks for the tips
before you explained it, doran blade opening seemed so bad to me
And all is illuminated.

Simply because most bruiser tops have very little aggressive resources early and benefit from playing passive until levels 6/7 and usually have at least boots + wriggles or razors and a ward which lets them play agressive without loldying.

Udyr? Never plays agressive early
Irelia? Waits till level 7 at least
Warwick? Q does nothing for half your mana until like level 7 as well.
Renek? Has basically 3 flashes to get away and is very hard to kill after level 6.

Trynd, GP, I guess rumble, and wukong are the guys who play agressive early. Trynd has spin and later ulti, GP has oranges and Rumble needs revolver to really start owning people and I dunno about wukong.

So your typical bruiser simply sits and farms top and then back and buy and ward their lane before they even think of laning past the half way mark, unless lane happens to push. Meanwhile pantheon is trying hard as hell to kill you before you buy so he can be more effective than you later on and that's the kind of play easy to punish. You can kinda do the same thing with rumbles and gps that play agressive early, though.

Although I probably underestimate Aegis stun+flash for getting away from a dicey situation. But if you don't have a ward and your laner baits him to stun because you do something stupid like get a ranged cs then you could be screwed even with flash.

I usually agree with you Slayer, but here it just sounds like you have never played vs. a Pantheon who knows what the hell they're doing.


This is exactly the spot where I'd love some advice.

My recent games as Panth went along these lines:
Riven vs Panth top (me right side). I smack her face in lvl 1, she decides to trade with minion aggro, I'm around 90%, she's around 40% and starts to eat her first pot. I walk up to her to w+spear her, a wild GP appears from my tribrush. My shit is on cd, flash isn't enough, I loldie.

Panth vs Udyr top (me left side). I smack his face in lvl 1 because he randomly decided to walk up from his brush to me and hit me in the middle of my wave (!?). He walks back and eats pots. When I ding lvl 3 he is still 2 and the wave is almost at his tower. At 3:30 a wild Trundle appears to smack my head in. (I flash to get away.) Udyr pushes the wave back a little bit so I decide to stay in lane, smack him to 20% and the trundle comes around like 30s later to smack my head in again. No flash, I loldie.


How do you deal with that? Do you read the enemy lane well enough to not get ganked like this? Do you walk in patterns to allow you seeing more of the river? I had multiple games where I got my support to ward at lvl 1 and then this is NO problem at all. Ever. However, in solo Q where you can't rely on that or perfect CVs - just, how do you deal with being in their face and not getting ganked at the same time?

This is definitely true and as I said my opinion doesn't hold much weight I'm just adding my 2 cents about why I think junglers hurt pantheon a little bit more than they hurt other bruisers.

Panth v Nasus goes a bit like this: Nasus opens cloth 5. Nasus drinks lots of potions, uses Q on creeps. Backs for a pink ward + items around 900 gold in. Panth gets repeatedly ganked at Nasus's tower. The end. Panth spears run out if he tries to pressure significantly during levels 1-2, so nasus shouldn't have a problem cashwise. If panth does put excessive pressure during those levels, even a failed jungle gank can give him enough face time with creeps to net him an easy 3-4 spears worth of damage in lifesteal.

I routinely trash rivens with Pantheon, but they aren't maxing shield. I think if she maxes shield first she might beat him, but it's tough to say when every riven is just derp maxing stun and getting assraped by me. still need to play navitar a bit and figure it out. If she does max shield, I'm pretty sure Pantheon would need some mana regen in his spec, which might just be how that matchup naturally evolves, but I think Pantheon should still have an edge.



Shield blocks spear entirely + extra if you run a cloth opening, but Spear has half the cooldown of shield. You still can't do very much to panth sitting in the creeps even if you chump his spear because he has block up when you go in. But you don't really need to; your goal is to dash in during a spear, last hit as much as possible while using q to keep you out of auto range, then get out around 2 seconds after the second spear he tosses. Panth, however, if he tries to harrass you, will push his lane, and most jungles can eviscerate an overextended panth with a riven around.

That's my experience at least; jungle chain free kills on panth as long as riven pink wards the bush.

Short version: if you can chump spears, you will be okay.

ok, well, I've explained how Panth vs. Nasus goes in my experience. I daresay I've had more experience and more relevant experience. hate to bring this to appeal to authority, but put up or shut up. Show me that you can play Nasus vs. Pantheon and not be completely nuetered without your jungler and I'll believe the matchup isn't shit. If the jungler is necessary, then cool, that's a disadvantage. If my jungle just counter ganks, you're fucked, end of story, otherwise my jungler gets to wreak havoc while yours babysits your worthless ass and prays to god that your team is doing well enough elsewhere to force an endgame where nasus is useful.

Riven, w/e, you're bringing nothing new to the table. Your shield won't absorb more than a spear cloth vs. dblade and later you have to use your shield defensively and then get out between spear coming off cd and your shield coming off cd. I'm still not convinced she can hang with panth

I play nasus v pantheon quite frequently. Most comps that put nasus top put him top with the intention of pairing him with a specific set of junglers because nasus has a lot of mediocre matchups, but he is one of the best scaling heros in the game bar none.

Teams that plunk nasus top and aren't putting him because their team was thrown together haphazardly are going to be baiting aegis and not throwing spirit fire down in order to let the lane drift towards nasus's tower, where nasus can farm just fine given the AA reset on q and his relatively solid damage + good animation. Add wither + a huge chunk of armor reduction to ganks and you have very, very strong reasons to throw your jungle top asap. Additionally, even if panth doesn't die to a gank, the facetime nasus gets with creeps as a result of the threat created by the jungler in the area is often enough for him to heal a huge chunk of health.Its also pretty common to have nasus run to golems to heal up if his lane isn't doing well, especially now that the gold and xp value of the smaller doubles golem is often not important.

Nasus is an investment for the lategame. Your jungle should be playing with that in mind. Your jungle ganking top twice doesn't magically mean you've missed five dragons and every other lane is now losing, either.

As for riven, that's pretty much what I said. You shield in AS spear happens, which pretty much obliterates 80% of your shield, which means panth has free autos on you and you're forced to Q out. Basically you end up trading w for 2 panth autos, hopefully 1 if you can time your w to get a cs. If you run him down on mana; tits. You win. If he times his spear so that your w would push the lane and not get cs, well dick, you lose. You can't shield prior to spear because panth runs faster than you do and shield does not last long enough to allow you to trade with panth or cs then get away without an unshielded spear coming at you.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

The problem is, panth is a pretty easy gank because he has no escapes and a lot of junglers are assholes and just start blue and camp top, regardless of if you're playing pant or not. Wondering about this myself aswell when you're playing top regardless of champ, how to deal with early jungle pressure, esp when they keep camping for a bit.

Yorrick tends to not bother me, but Malphite sucks and Rumble is a real sonofabitch if he counter specs you (which he can afford to do because he still does 23819023801928390123 DPS even with a 40 Armor page and cloth opening). Kennen is also a problem.

How does GP fair against Pant? I started cloth + 5 and was told that GP should beat pant but I preceded to get dove by Pant. Thoughts on the matchup?
