I like AD casters and Pantheon in particular, and i have to say he doesn't seem THAT weak to me. I agree there's something that could be changed, but overall Pantheon is quite ok: let's not make the mistake of considering him just like another assassin, he's played slightly differently. I like Pantheon being an "AD caster / fighter" with a lot of burst potential but still good at poking, zoning and with his really good defensive (thus, bruiser like) passive. I honestly won't like Pantheon to become an "all offense, all in" assassin.

The only thing i would absolutely change is Pantheon's E, Heartseeker Strike. I would like it to have an additional effect that boosts Pantheon's upcoming damage. Something like an armor shred or a % damage amplifier. This way Heartseeker Strike would be much more useful in Pantheon's combo, since it could be used right before or after Aegis of Zeonia as Pantheon's opening move. Another possible change could make Pantheon more bruiser like by giving Heartseeker Strike a healing effect similar to Renekton's Cull the Meek.
