Rekenton has a strong advantage against Pantheon in lane. His kit is more duelist orientated and he has sustain from his Q and stun from his E. His steroid is far less situational and on demand unlike Pantheons and in fact his ult can juke the effectivness of the certain death passive.

In order for Pantheon to have a chance in lane he'll have to do a few things which will still be very hard to accomplish.

He'd have to buy something to prevent running out of mana in lane. That is what will get you real early. If you could Q and E the minion wave alot you could deny him farm which is how he builds his fury. In fact if you bother to not him. Allow yourself not to get hit. and get rid of his minions fast he'll lose fury in lane which would be an advantage for you.

Only thing is. You'd run out of mana long before then. You can decide for yourself what you would like to do if you wanted to make something like that work.

Yep. That would be my advise. Farm the lane and sustain yourself. If you can get your hands on a good tank item and a good defensive item you might be able to take him but that would be awhile off. Like 15 plus minutes in lane off.
