This Guide has been highly requested by all of you, and after a long stage of plannning and creating the all in one Pantheon guide, it is finally here. Hopefully we've covered everything you need to put you on your road to Mastering Pantheon. Comment below any other videos you would like to see! (Addressing the upcoming item changes: I have looked at the changes towards bruiser items and I am probably going to be building the same things anyway, so this guide will likely be up to date even with the upcoming changes. That being said, I will still playtest the new trinity force and play around with a few other builds/items to definitively see if other builds are more optimal after the changes. On the slim chance that I do find a better build, I will release a "Build Update" video.)
I still don't know why this guy still didn't pop off, he deserves to be more popular than half these wack streamers that get much more attention and views, keep it up chef, Salam from algeria
factss he deserves a lot more, but he is getting bigger, he averaged about 175 viewers a year ago and now hes usually close to 300 viewers sometimes average i believe, big ups to Issa
Most likely because Pantheon isn't entertaining champion to watch. No flashy plays, low outplay potential, straightforward gameplay. Compare it to champions like Riven or Yone
@@antares1407 really? i find it pretty satisfying to watch and there arent really many otp panth streamers out there so its fresh, i think there is just a lot of luck with getting big but eventually when u put in the work its possible
Man, life is so fucking unfair. This king has always had exciting gameplay, witty commentary, a god tier editor, amazing thumbnails and is so entertaining to watch... Yet he hasn't become huge yet. Why? I'll never get why some other streamers/youtubers are super popular while also being boring af. Legit they just upload clickbait full-ass gameplay that is as entertaining as watching paint dry. They barely talk, they have zero personality and jokes, yet they have a big audience. Why, just why.
Spear Shot's vids are pretty funny cuz they're curated, but I didn't really like watching him on stream since he tends to be a bit of a bad vibe when he's doing poorly or losing. Which is understandable and I don't fault him for it, but it's just not my cup of tea. Which is actually odd now that I think about it; average Twitch viewer ik tends to like "raging angry strimers" except Mr. SpShot has really good humor and personality on top of it. Doesn't make sense, I agree.
Another tip, when trying to run, you can use your e to block ignite damage as long as you point your e in the direction of the enemy who ignited. Imagine the block range as a global cone stemming from pantheon
Why the heck is he being so articulate?! I'm used to "I'm going to take ya legs, lemme give you a kiss" Spearshot, not Dr. Spear with the explanations.
not a panth main but watched the whole guide! This was so high quality and also had pointers for general top lane! You cannot always be an assasin, sometimes you have to just attack the enemy frontline with your team.
I can't wait to use this panth guide to climb out of iron. i play of my compaq presario from russia and can only use the euw servers to find actual humans. i believe if i follow this guide my 400 ping wont hold me back.
Fantastic guide! I think people are really into informative content which is why top 'one-tricks' like Petu are doing so well. Love the guide, thank you for making it for us
I have been absolutely smurfing with Pantheon in solo que. No one plays or bans him, his kit is just perfect for my duel heavy play style. Youmuu's Divine is so much fun, my Diamond friends looked at me weird when I said Divine, but it is soooo good. Honestly, favorite champ in the game.
Runes+Items are slightly outdated though. He never runs corrupt pot anymore. Bork is a solid choice, even as first item sometimes. Some other mythics could be mentioned but ofc eclipse is still go-to.
I randomly selected pantheon top lane with friends one day and every since that game has stuck with me because I did very well. Viewing this guide will definitely help for training purposes to continue to practice with different match ups. Appreciate the work on this!
Sadly the guide's popping right before Riot takes 100 HP out of every bruiser item, which may have an impact on Panth's itemisation. Maybe not tho, idk I'm unranked Edit : I missed the chance to say that I really liked the guide, awesome job, keep going I wish you only the best
I think the only item that might fall out is steraks, losing the healing. Everything else might be better for Panth with more damage. And fighters lose the health too, as they build similiar (Sett, Fiora, Riven, etc.).
It's actually mostly beneficial for Panth, he doesn't *need* the HP all that much, while basically all top laners lose between 100-200 HP for laning phase, allowing you to kill them better. Plus, the items also generally give more damage too, with many getting 5 to 10 extra AD
I mean every bruiser in the toplane is also less tanky as a result, so it's not terrible. Plus, pantheon scales really well with AD and all the items got an AD (and sometimes AH) buff. We'll see how it shakes out.
Beautiful video, i casually opened it and it changed my ranked win rate. I'm a Shen main but with him i can't carry and i have to tryhard so much to win the lane. I tried using Sett but same thing i sometimes carry but it's hard to get kills once you dominate the lane they just stay far. With 3 days of Pantheon top (i played him a lot as a supp i have 200k maestry) i made 200 LP and have 65% win rate. It's easy to win the lane, he has mobility to help mid and bot and he has so much item choice i love him. Thank you for the guide
My friend was really surprised when I showed him the match result where I got an MVP and lead my opponent by 7550 gold. He was like 'I cant play that champ like that how did u do it'. This guide really helped me understanding everything pantheon needs.
not a top lanner (supp mostly) but like watching him and when running panth supp, pretty much just follow his guide. r good for roaming! ty for a good guide
Sunderer has been my main goto item as jungle pantheon main and as a standalone item for support pantheon it gives the most for its value. It is also the best for trading with meta bruisers, thanks for bringing it out as it should. Good guide! Edit: One little thing you didn't cover maybe because you never do it is the maxing of w second instead of e. There are some matchups that you lose after 6 but if you are ahead and max w after q you get a second w faster during trades so you continue winning the trade. Although that's me from plat, it may be still unwinnable in diamond+ even with this strat. Edit2: Great take man, it's great seeing an intelligent take on top pantheon!!
Great video! I’m playing pantheon top a lot, but I use a different item build: blade of the ruined king into krakenslayer for a lot of damage with the empowered W… I’m gonna try your builds though
My man! I have been in countless melee matchups where I was getting bullied and then bought BORK (first buy) and cut through them like butter catching them by suprise. An empowered W w/ PTA is beautiful w BORK
Such a good guide! Learned so many things I didn't know about Pantheon. And this was the first video I watched from you. I also subscribed! Will watch you and learn more from you SpearShot.
The guide is great for people who already play Pantheon, but I feel like someone who hasn't put in much time into League wont get any useful information from it. A proper ability rundown and incentives to put time and effort into Pantheon would have been really good for new players. Still I was able to learn something thanks to it, so cheers for that.
people who actually play pantheon know most of this so its actually really good into new players who can take 3 minutes to read his abilities, and you dont need incebtives he is not selling the champ the guide is for people who already want of have decided to play pantheon
@@ultimatesonic47 Well, most people don't know where to look for proper ability information ( the client is a joke ). I just think thebaus's Sion guide did a much better job appealing to the masses.
@@Kaxinhoxd yeah in the client is pretty bad and some tool tips are actually incorrect, but most of them are acurate and you can see them in the practice tool
finally, a pantheon challenger guide that says what i know about the character and gives me more detailed info. Bro i love this video hope you bring something about the unortodox ways of playing pantheon keep on whit pantheon, best wishes
I've been rushing manamune and divine sunderer every game for scaling damage + empowered auto's between q tap and other abilites and taking phase rush so that I can out trade anyone with the standard empowered q combo, but this guide is the most optimal panth rune and build set. Pta for exposing enemies basically instantly or conqueror for instant ad stacks from empowered W. Black cleaver 2nd or third item vs tanks and opponents building armor. Ghost blade for disengage or catching the back line. Still, I have grown so comfortable with my style that I don't want to give it up. Rengar is right. Comfort breeds weakness
very good guide. I haven't played pantheon since nerf the E in tower, because of these videos I'll give him a chance again. today i am main talon i would like someone to make a tutorial as good as this for him.
I build Pantheon completly different tbh. Not sure if its optimal but I go either Prowlers Claw or Eclipse for my mythic. Prowlers into heavy tanks to shred their hp when its off cool down and Eclipse when the shield is really necessary. At the end of the day my build is Prowlers/Eclipse, Blade of the Runed King, Essence Reaver, Manamune, and Black Cleaver/Seryldas Grudge. Let me know if I should chance anything in this build because lately its been working wonder aginast all enemies. Tanks get melted with BORK and Prowlers and squishes get deleted with BORK and Essence Reaver
As to why I dont build any defensive items such as armor or magic resist or steraks gage? I just feel as if I do enough damage to delete someone before they can do damage to me there's no need for defense. My e works perfectly fine for that.
one of the things I personnaly used to do was the following build and runes : conqueror Triumph Legend tenacity Coup de grace Conditionning Overgrowth And then go for this build : Rush black cleaver first, then sunfire into the tank tear item, and finally shadowflame, as you definitely want sunfire and R to hit harder and harder, it let u sustain over some fed swain at mid game
I appreciate your guides a lot! One question: What would you recommend me when fighting against ranged Champs like Vayne on Top? I usually ban her most of the time but let's say I banned someone else instead.

Last question.Who do you ban?
@@andrasjegay9193 Thresh.
i love u
Only unfortunate it comes out right before the bruiser item rework, it has huge changes that will prolly impact panth pretty strongly.
..soooo... How much i owe you for this priceless guide epic montage :P
Very clean guide brother man
oh my God it's Xpeetu
Didn’t even watch the vid yet, but if the Shen god himself says it’s good I believe him
xPetu certified? This Spear Shot guy must be the real deal.
More importantly, this must be some foreshadowing...
I tried Pantheon for two weeks video confirmed?
I love both of you because I main Shen and Pantheon
I still don't know why this guy still didn't pop off, he deserves to be more popular than half these wack streamers that get much more attention and views, keep it up chef, Salam from algeria

Streaming is very saturated right now but Spear Shot has huge potential that will take time
how to mention pink ward without mentioning pink ward
@@Lellerinoo Professor Akali, Foggy, Swag Xerath, there's a ton of people that fit that description

Doesn't make sense, I agree.
because he only play one champion duh
Another tip, when trying to run, you can use your e to block ignite damage as long as you point your e in the direction of the enemy who ignited.

Additional note, this works against things like Karthus' ult as well
wut really!?!?
thanks guys
Spagetti it is
But not Brand 🙃
@@PapaRedHotCherry huh if you point it towards brand's position, you take 0 damage from his tick.
Why the heck is he being so articulate?! I'm used to "I'm going to take ya legs, lemme give you a kiss" Spearshot, not Dr. Spear with the explanations.
Hahaha indeed totally different from his awesome streams

@@scissrface2182 idk man, i think he could get out of iron even with 400 ping
@@chalkpitbullwatermelon1897 you have to have the mindset of a god cuz 200 ping frustrates the absolute fuck out of me
Idk if this is satire but lmaod
This sounds like a meme, but could very well be true. Anyway, there's really no point in switching from RU to EUW if you can't hit plat on RU.
Fantastic guide! I think people are really into informative content which is why top 'one-tricks' like Petu are doing so well. Love the guide, thank you for making it for us
This honestly was probably the most helpful guide I’ve seen while being super concise too
Great guide, very informative, perfect length, very handsome, good job !
Desde que empecé a jugar pantheon tiene una magia en su historia, diálogos, movilidad que no tiene ningún otro campeón. Gracias por el video
I have been absolutely smurfing with Pantheon in solo que. No one plays or bans him, his kit is just perfect for my duel heavy play style. Youmuu's Divine is so much fun, my Diamond friends looked at me weird when I said Divine, but it is soooo good. Honestly, favorite champ in the game.
This is the first actually helpful guide I’ve seen
Runes+Items are slightly outdated though.
He never runs corrupt pot anymore. Bork is a solid choice, even as first item sometimes. Some other mythics could be mentioned but ofc eclipse is still go-to.
Great video man, thank you as well for the entertainment you make our days better.

You think pantheon is handsome in the face?
You're the one thats handsome in the face brotha
well..Spear Shot and Pantheon look very similar xD
Cheering for you my guy, been following for a while and I just want you to succeed in life
yo, this guide was just what I was looking for and gave me all the info that I needed. Love your humor as well, keep it up man
thank you issa! i can finally stop feeding in bronze and start feeding in silver now!

Very interesting video, I might pick up Pantheon as a more early game oriented champ some time, I usually like scaling champs
Holy. Crap. Awasome guide!!
Such a good guide!!
Thx and i remember i dont miss those Qs
What a good looking guy, I love his videos
going to twitch to sub love your content man
thank you very much, great video
always listen to a man who devoted his life on pantheon just because he's handsome
one of the things I personnaly used to do was the following build and runes :
conqueror
Triumph
Legend tenacity
Coup de grace
Conditionning
Overgrowth
And then go for this build :
Rush black cleaver first, then sunfire into the tank tear item, and finally shadowflame, as you definitely want sunfire and R to hit harder and harder, it let u sustain over some fed swain at mid game
did u use it till u got banned for trolling or what
very helpful thanks brother
gonna use panth this season. it’s my first ever league season. i will come back when it is over to tell you how it went.
Loved the vid bro
this guy is best lol creator i swear.

It took 20 years, but pucci finally finished editing
