To say nothing of their physical skill, I believe Pantheon's weapons are superior to Olaf's. The spear and shield is a combination that has seen use throughout history, to massive effect. His spear alone gives him an advantage in range that Olaf's throwing ability doesn't quite match because once you throw your weapon, you must either hit your opponent and kill them in in that blow, or risk fighting without that weapon until you can retrieve it, something that Pantheon simply wouldn't allow Olaf to do. As for whether Olaf could land that axe, Panth DOES have a shield, after all. However, and I speak from experience here, it is a little awkward to fight someone who's dual wielding when you're using a shield. If Olaf manages to get close enough to Pantheon, so close that he is past the kill zone of the spear yet far enough away that he can comfortably hammer at Panth's shield until he manages a lucky blow, then he can still win.

As to their respective armors, I still believe Pantheon has the edge. I can't actually tell what his armor is made of, but if he's based of the Spartans as he is in pretty much everything else, then it is of bronze or some other metal. These three things, the spear, shield, and heavy armor, are what gave the Spartans their unstoppable power on the battlefield, as even if you got past their shield, you still had to penetrate their armor. And if you don't get through that shit on the first try, well, you be dead. Olaf, on the other hand, has leather armor. Easily penetrated by a spear.

Now, for physical skill.

Olaf is a massively experienced warrior whose berserker abilities have granted him victory in battle after battle and against odds that would send many warriors crying to their mommies. He is tall and strong and more than capable in battle. I wouldn't be surprised if liquid steel runs through his veins instead of blood. Even if you leave behind his battle honed skills, his berserker's fury will still make him an extremely formidable opponent, and could very well give him the strength to break through Pantheon's armor. Or, you know, just attack his bare legs.

Pantheon is a monster. The greatest warrior in a tribe of great warriors, he wields weapons with magic abilities that we still haven't fully been told of. His tribe makes a habit of waging war "only when outnumbered at least ten to one". He's spent his entire life training to be the best, and I doubt there are very many fighters, even in the League of Legends, who can take that title from him.

Now, as to who i think would be the winner, it is still extremely close. If Olaf weren't fighting Pantheon, if it were Gangplank or Varus or someone like that, then he would be much better off, cause the Viking doesn't give a damn about no stupid arrows or bullets. But, I still have to give this to Pantheon. His heavy armor and shield just give him too much of an edge against the lightly armored Olaf.

HOWEVER, I do believe that if the fight goes on for long enough, a couple hours or so, Olaf will most likely win because of the huge potential his ability as a berserker gives him to outlast Pantheon.

So, there you have it. As unbiased an examination as I can give based solely on their equipment.
