Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights due to Pantheon's W stun and burst damage, so concede scuttle unless you have lane priority and backup.
- Post-6, you only win 1v1s if you can bait his W cooldown or catch him without empowered abilities, using R to dodge his E damage.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Pantheon typically starts same side as his strongest early laner, then looks for level 3 ganks with W stun, often pathing aggressively toward your jungle.
- He prioritizes early game pressure and will likely invade your jungle if he gets ahead from successful ganks.
Invade or Not
- You should avoid invading Pantheon early game as he wins most 1v1 encounters and has better skirmish potential with his stun and burst.
- Only invade post-6 when you have R available and know his location, preferably when he's low from ganking or fighting.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't fight Pantheon when he has empowered W available, as the guaranteed stun into burst combo will chunk you heavily.
- Avoid extended trades in his E cone and don't underestimate his early game damage even when you're ahead in items.
