Playing against Pantheon

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Pantheon falls off in the late game — he's strong in early/mid but scales poorly. Play safe and outscale.

2

His E blocks everything from one direction: go around it or wait for it to expire before bursting.

3

His W is point-and-click but short range — kite him by staying out of his W range.

4

Warn your teammates when Pantheon is MIA: his R lets him roam very quickly.
