I played Panth for quite a good chunk of my total games and I can say that he does not fall off late game.

His passive will destroy champions like Fiora, Tryndamere or Riven since he will be entirely blocking them. Imagine if he goes in with passive up, he blocks the first strike, then uses W which grants him another, that is second strike and finally 1 spear, one E and two auto attacks, that is third strike. He can block 3 auto attacks which can be from 600 to 900 damage, that is a lot.

His Q is very powerful, lower health, greater damage and on level 18 it costs almost no mana compared to his entire mana pool.

His W is excellent tower diving tool. You go in, block one turret hit, use W, block another one and then escape.

E is the destroyer of champions, imagine if there is Darius or Orianna on allied team and he/she uses pulling ablity and Pantheon uses his E right away. With Black cleaver he can bring you from 100 to 0 in no time.

R is tricky to hit but once you hit it they will feel it, it deals a lot of damage, it has the base damage of entire Renekton's ultimate in one punch.

I consider Pantheon as AD Akali, he is able to kill AD carry on his own and bring entire enemy team down except that Pantheon does not have a weakness that is Purple Ward which Akali has.

But if your team is really bad, then you can be the best Pantheon on the planet and it won't change the situation.

Why is he not picked more often? Why wasn't Malphite picked a lot more in Season 1 or 2? Because he is not discovered yet. Remmember how nobody played Ezreal and when pro players discovered him everybody went crazy about him? That will happen to Panth one day just as it happened to Kha Zix, Ezreal, Malphite, Hecarim...
