So annoying to play against in lane. Point-click high-damage nukes every 4 seconds for all eternity (because he really isn't going to be running out of mana very soon, not with a Q that literally costs 5 mana more than Ezreal's Q).

So he's got decent-range endless poke that WILL kill you after enough time. So what do you do against poke champions? You go for an all-in. LOL. Nope. 3.6 bonus AD ratio, you aren't out-damaging that any time soon, and you certainly aren't winning against him when you're at low health - especially when he can easily block 2 of your auto attacks/turret shots.

But perhaps the most annoying part is that most early bullies fall off and can be dealt with. Not this guy. He just builds penetration and even if you build full armor and HP his braindead combo will still take half your HP off. Reminds me of Riven.

Most early bullies also have the disadvantage that they only really affect one part of the map, but Pantheon's ult lets him easily run around and beat the crap out of everyone else as well. So IF you are a champion that can't tank 20 spears in a row, the rest of your team had better prepare themselves for getting beaten up as well.

Do I sound salty? Yes. I'm just not seeing counterplay in this champion - going against him top, how do you dodge his spears? How do you not get all-inned? How do you do all of this AND keep him from roaming?

If I haven't made it clear yet how frustrating playing against him is, imagine this: Nunu's snowballs cost 45 mana, he has a strong all-in, he roams super-effectively.

Seems to me that against Pantheon you literally stand in lane, only getting passive gold gen so that you don't die, then back once you run out of potions and spend all that passively generated gold on more potions. And maybe some armor.
