@Lucky Not saying splitpushing isn't a viable strategy, but attack speed on Pantheon means you're probably lacking any other stats that makes him good at anything else.

As in, you're not going to do enough damage to destroy towers fast enough, be a threat in fights, nor will you be tanky enough to survive in fights to be annoying. Sure, high attack speed means more blocks, but how often is anyone going to let you keep hitting, and how much damage will you do with base scalings alone?
