Pantheon Counters for Middle, Patch 16.03

Pantheon dominates the early game with strong Q poke and his W/E skillset, so prioritize winning your lane aggressively. Opt for bruiser items like Black Cleaver or Shojin over Eclipse to mitigate late-game falloff and maintain value. His ultimate's armor penetration, frontal invulnerability (E), and targeted W stun make him powerful for roams and teamfights, contributing significantly even in the late game.
