depends on which level you are, apparantly. lets have a little history lesson. pantheon jungle, for the longest time, wasnt good. why? sustain issues, and his w was essentially useless in his jungle. guess when that changed? w was changed 3 months ago, sustain 1-2 months. thats when he got strong. thats when he actually had the barrier removed, that kept his jungle low. well, of course, not everyone imideatly saw him as a good jungler. at first, with the w change, he was played a bit. but he still had sustain issues. but then, fast forward 1-2 months, new spirit stone. some imideatly realized his potential and started playing him. but innovation is always a risky thing, so it started out low. but people saw how broken it is, and more and more people started playing it. of course, as always, the low levels, bronze, silver, gold, and plat 5-2 lagged behind even more. but in high levels, he started being popular, and then saw an increasing amounts of bans. then, soon afterwards, people started playing him in the lcs. of course not imideatly, he was a champion that was never played before. people needed to learn him first. lcs is a bit trickier in that sense. but then it started, and boy, was it effective. now that he was brought to the spotlight, his bans skyrocketed, both in lcs and, well, higher levels. in diamond 4, just a few days after his appearance in lcs, he already was banned in about 33% of all games. now? you barely ever see a game without him banned. and you NEVER see a game without him banned or picked. so yes, he is broken. he wasnt before, the changes that causes this are new, so its rather quick.
