How to play it
DO
Don't shove into him
Play the lane slow and don't push toward him — his all-in plus strong gank setup punishes any overextension.
Deny his snowball
New Pantheon lives on snowballing — keep him even or behind and the game should be over.
Ping his roams
He roams well — get your Hexcore early and spam-ping teammates the moment he leaves lane.
DON'T
Never shove the wave toward him — an overextended push is exactly what his gank setup and all-in punish.
