As far as I'm aware, changes in Pantheon skills in patch 1.0.0.106 were made to shift his powers *from* Spear Shot *to* Heartseeker Strike, not the other way around so I see no sense in buffing SS after nerfing HSS.

Also, I do belive that the hotix you mention came to be solely because of the complainers - those who were crying their eyes out on US Forums because Pantheon became useful again. Myself, as well as many people on EU Forum, are not complaining about the damage reduction - like I've mentioned in a post below, early you won't get that much AD anyway so it's not a big difference and you will probably reach 5 lvl HSS as soon as level 9 anyway - so it's not the point. The point is that Riot for once had the wits to notice that Pantheon was in fact a dead Champion, and guts to buff him to the point that he became a solid pick again, and then - couple of days later they've caved in before some bunch of QQ'ers crying about him being OP, just as they do with every new or recently buffed Champion.

So that is my problem with this hotfix - I don't want to see Champions changed over and over again with no reason other than someone somewhere got his arse kicked and decided to start a rage thread. There can be no balanced gameplay if Champions are allowed to remain unchanged for 3 weeks tops.
