Glad you asked them

First You can max his skills 2 ways:

First By maxing q first by level 9,second by maxing e by lvl 9.pretty straightforward..take w at level 2 always.Now...when facing a pretty strong toplaner with a good ultimate at level 6..you need to consider the following...do my teammates need me to help them with ult?If yes take it at lvl 6 and make sure you push the lane,if they dont take another point in e so youll be able to duel with the enemy toplaner better as you have a unreliable ultimate in a 1v1 fight with him.THink about renekton,skarner,riven,fiora.you need an advantage over them if you wanna duel them,if they however can dive an kill you take your ult to get out of there and help somewhere else.

Now pantheon hardcounters champs without sustain or shields

Pantheon counters Gankplank(the most),darius,renekton a bit if played corectly,nasus(you need mana against him so get mana pots),fiora(you need ninja tabi mostly and some lifesteal,make sure you have your passive always,when she comes at you q then w then e and shell be half hp or dead by now.He also counters teemo/kassadin/nidalee etc...

His worth enemies are the ones who have high sustain+Shields aka shen/yorick or those with high armor like maplhite.

ALso make sure you buy some damage items on him like atmas+ IE or maybe Ghostblade,after that Warmrogs+Randuins+ mercs mostly.If the enemy team doesnt have many ccs and your team desperately needs an assasin go man mode and get BT+ghostblade+ATmas+Ie+Mercs and ga and go for theyre carry(you can opt for a mallet if you have a zilean or soraka in your team as they can keep you alive).

Thats about it.Also dont forget to scream "THIS IS SPARTA" when ulting them.
