Thanks to Locicero and Smashgizmo for getting me started down the path of becoming a Pantheon fanatic! Everyone on the TL staff who makes this website so awesome, especially on this subforum (Go Neo!) which is by far the best place for intelligent LoL discussion!

Special thanks to TL's Mafia for putting up with my constant Pantheon play when we duo queued on my smurf! The fun I had in those games really spurred me to finish this guide

I hope you all enjoyed the guide and maybe it helped you rack up some kills while also having a lot of fun playing the game!

New Diamond 1 Pantheon Game with Commentary!
Got hungry for some more D1 Pantheon VOD's, so I threw all my advice on drafting out the window and just first picked him blind. This game is vs. Katarina and showcases the splitpush style of Pantheon and how effective it can be in forcing the opponent to make a mistake.

Full Diamond 1 Game with Commentary!
Here is a full recent game I played at Diamond 1 (around 50lp) complete with commentary on all my decisions/thought processes:

+ Show Spoiler [Replay Gold Smurf Game] +

TOP LANE, vs Lee Sin, Smurf @ Gold ELO.

Showing how Pantheon can be used to absolutely take control over a gold level game when played aggressively. Some key moments:

- Early game hyper aggression at level 1 to gain dominance of the lane and force him to pop his red pot far earlier than he would want.

- Snowball that lane lead into the ability to roam to my jungle and stop the invade without him being able to follow safely (HUGELY important, this shows how pressure can lead to more pressure which can lead to huge game losing mistakes by your opponents).

- By 5 minutes I have double buff, 2 kills, have drawn massive jungler attention to give my other lanes breathing room, and have crippled my lane opponent - THIS is how you want to be playing as Pantheon.

- As top lane Pantheon, I use my jump on my lane opponent a lot more than usual because its so hard to effectively roam bottom lane without losing your tower. At 6 you can see me take down Lee Sin by suprising him with a jump from the brush.

- By 10 minutes I have 3x my lane opponent's CS and have at least allowed my other lanes to go even by dragging so much jungler pressure.

- At around 12 minutes I kill Lee Sin again by using my jump - the key thing about this is that it eliminates his ability to counterplay me by giving me the first move. Since I am able to use my "W" while falling from the sky, he is stunned and taking damage before he has any ability to react or escape.

- I now feel that Lee has died enough and that spending too much more time on him is wasting the huge power spike I'm currently in because of how little gold he is worth. I start roaming to keep pressure throughout the map.

- At 17 minutes I make good use of map awareness to see that Lee Sin has just shut down Zac in the top lane but was left fairly low and manage to get the jump on him yet again.

- By 20 minutes, they surrender. A solid, clean, Pantheon-esque victory. Not every game will turn out like this, but I swear this is not something I cherry-picked - any Pantheon game I play at this elo will almost always go similarly smooth because of how aggressive I am able to be to get the snowball rolling and keep morale high on my team.

For anyone looking to jungle Pantheon, note that he has an absolutely devastating level 2 gank on mid lane if you go right as your mid hits 2.

p.s. support Pantheon is a more fun Taric.

Nice guide!
Stay positive!
