Allowing them to just use their CDs and walk away. It travels in a straight line, allowing many abilities like Charm, Mistral Bolt that is empowered with Doom 'n Gloom, Light Binding, Tangle-Barbs to easily cc in the middle of your jump, interrupting your empowered AA's.
STARFALL 2 STEPS FROM HELL FULL
Also, using Comet Spear to farm consumes Mortal Will stacks when full making it so if u need to use one of the empowered abilities, it isn't available.Įven if you can Shield Vault onto the enemy, its engage is really linear. With the tap Comet Spear, its range isn't that high, allowing you to be poked and outranged by many abilities. With the charged version, its cooldown is also quite long. He also doesn't have a reliable way to farm minions from ranged, sure he has charged Comet Spear but it doesn't do a lot of damage, especially when it passes through minions. Even then, our engage ( Shield Vault is short-ranged and can be easily countered by good tethering (note, the keyword is "good", in low-mid ELO, sometimes they mess up and u can kill them off one misposition). We constantly get poked in lane until level 2/3 where we can potentially actually counterattack.


Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't mean all mages, mainly the longer ranged ones or those who have a reliable cc skillshot. Although I primarily identify him as an anti-carry. In the late game, he can function as an anti-carry, scuffed assassin, engage and damage soak depending on your playstyle, item, and the team comps. His late-game is not the best as he doesn't have the easy and safe assassination of many assassins, the DPS and tankiness of a bruiser, and doesn't have the damage and utility of most mid-lane mages. He's a champion that wants to push the pace of the game by taking objectives and towers. He pushes this lead to make the rest of the enemy team miserable through invades, skirmishes and ganking.

He's a simple AD early aggressive diver/assassin that wants to dominate the laning phase with short high burst damage and take free trades from his Shield Vault and Aegis Assault. Now he's mediocre in top, jungle and support while serving as mainly a counter pick in mid-lane. Originally, a top-laner then into a strong jungler and support. Pantheon is an interesting champion that has had some identity issues in the past few years. Mercury's Treads (Mercs, Threads, Merc Threads, MR boots)įarsight Alteration (blue trinket, blue ward) Plated Steelcaps ( Tabis, Steelcaps, armor boots, ar boots) Ionian Boots of Lucidity (CDR boots, cooldown boots, abt boots, abt haste boots, lucidity boots) Sterak's Gage (Steraks, Sterak, Sterak's)

Most are standard and pretty obvious (unless you are a new player), this is mainly here in case you run into something you don't understand in the guide. Try to split the enemy team up by splitting (depends on rest of enemy team comp too). Mid-late game, try to kill him by ulting on him and making him afraid to ever leave his team. If he Follows our roams, we bush cheese him on the next roam. Don't hard commit too much as he often takes Barrier. Try to get roams or get jungler ganks, if jungler ganks dont be afraid to Flash W. He hard outscales you and he starts getting insane poke after Lost Chapter + LVL 7/9 (LVL 4/5 Q). If he did use e while during your w animation, u get cced for not a long time and can still get a decent trade. If u w onto him without him using e, sidestep after he comes out of cc to dodge it. Buy boots to dodge abilities and chase into our W and chase him down. Your e blocks his ult even if he hits behind you, as long as u are facing him.Ĭonstantly try to threaten the w onto him, or get bullied until they let their guard down and they enter our w range and we kill them. Try to e if you are going to get hit by his e. Consider second wind, cosmic insight, TWT, tp, etc.
