Pantheon

Pantheon is an AD bruiser in the jungle, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 49.9% win rate, 1.3% pick rate, 14,942 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Pantheon is front-loaded: at peak strength early and falling off the longer the game runs, so the win condition is to convert early pressure into objectives and leads before the 25-minute mark.

How Pantheon wins: roaming out of lane to snowball the rest of the map, and landing engage and starting fights on Pantheon's terms. The kit grades 10/10 roaming, 7/10 engage. Pantheon's soft spots are siege and mobility (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.

The most-played core build is Sundered Sky, Black Cleaver, Guardian Angel, which holds a 60.4% win rate across 1,325 games this patch. Pick the enemy team to adapt each item slot to the specific matchup.

The matchup to respect is Nidalee, where Pantheon sits at just 40.6%, the lane swings the other way into Jax (54.0%), and on the team side, Pantheon gains the most from a Zaahen (+10.1% pair win rate).
