Hmm, I don't know. He overall just seems really powerful at any point in the game, but then again it might be different in your league since we play on different skill levels.

I mean, look at it this way. He's good high base stats, decent amount of sustain (when he can stick to a target), short cc that is relativeley challenging to get off compared to others and a single gap closer. His dmg/cc combined plus the simplicity of his kit makes him a good ganker and a decent lane duelist (really matchup dependent). Mid game he's capable of making picks or even starting an engage on a mage/adc that mispositions. Once late game hits, if he builds tank he's a minor nuisance that is largely ignorable that the ADC can solo shred. If he builds damage and had a good game up to late the mage should either have a gap opener or a zhonyas (or both) and someone will peel for the adc. In the duration of the zhonyas or cc he will die. His wave clear is pretty meh, doesn't have any escape built in and late game dueling potential is pretty weak so he can't even split push.

 

Has no real options late game.

What do you guys think about Pantheon? I've got enough to buy him, I might give him a try.

He is alright, his ult is great, though I've never actually seen anyone play him extremely well.

I love Panth. I don't think I've ever lost a game while playing him mid, though mid Pantheon is retarded xD I've never been able to make his ult work very well for anything aside from mobility.

Pantheon is good, but really he isnt my style so I can't really give you much advice on him. I'm a jungler so I don't know a crap ton about the laning champs.

He's a really good finisher, imo. The auto-crit on champs below 15% health with his Q means you can dash off after somebody retreating and generally secure a kill without too much effort. And if they're not quite low enough yet, use the stun first.

Overall panth is a pretty weak champion. He should be able to win his lane fairly easily, and depending on how far ahead he is has some good mid game power (with the ability to drop the mid, adc or support). Once people start to outlive his stun burst or the enemy team coordinates a little bit of cc on him he becomes fairly worthless pretty quick.

 

I'd say if mega beef regen tank wasn't the meta he'd probably be a little better overall for it, but all things considered he doesn't fit real well with any of the meta strats.

 

Comparing him to people who fulfill a similar role (zed), Panth is largely lacking any real form of slipperiness.

PC games like this, they hurt my heart. Actually they don't, but I used to play online with my ex (not this game) and it sort of aches when I consider starting a new one. But I'm really interested in this game, I just have a few questions first:

 

1.) Is it full of those high-level dumbasses who treat everyone else like shit?

 

2.) Does it lag all hardcore like? Because I have very little patience.

1. There's a big mix of dumbass's and cool people. So you have to have patience with people.

 

2. No it doesn't lag at all for me (not unless your internet sucks).

1. League is known for having some pretty whiny people though they are not usually whining because of how go they are (even if they think they are) You can put them on your ignore list though, which fixes the problem right up.

 

2. Only if your ping dips a lot, but that doesn't happen often for me.

1. Yes, yes and yes. The moba genre has always had terrible communities, mainly because you have a higher reliance on your teammates than other genres. That said I have met plenty of cool/chill people and avoiding harassment is as easy as muting the player and reporting them after the game. The community will ban if the player indeed deserves it.

2. Nah, the game is really forgiving hardware wise. If you're talking internet connection wise, one of the European server is notorious for issues like that... but the NA server is fine most of the time. (^:

Hey I just throught of something.

 

If Aatrox has a Guardian Angel which bursts first, the item or his Passive.

 

What if Zilean uses his ultimate on an Aatrox with a Guardian Angel. O.o

Zilean ult has priority over everything. Followed by that is GA. Followed by that is champ passives (zac, aatrox, aniv). Followed by that is Yorick's ult.

 

edit: and Tryndamere ult has priority over everything else (e.g. if Tryndamere activates his ult and then zilean ults, zilean ult will not proc until after Trynd's ult is gone)

He is actually my favorite champion.

 

The problem is everyone always rages if I play him in any position expect support.

 

The fun thing is though that I've never lost a game as a non-support blitz
