A drop like this usually traces back to direct nerfs, item changes, or a meta shift toward unfavorable matchups, so respect the counter picks more than you did last patch. At C tier, Pantheon is a mains-only pick this patch: expect to out-knowledge opponents rather than out-stat them.

Champion select decides a lot of Pantheon Top games. The hardest matchups this patch are Irelia (40.7% win rate for Pantheon) and Renekton (49.1% win rate for Pantheon): consider banning one or holding your pick until the opponent locks in. On the other side, Jax (53.6%) and KSante (53.2%) are the matchups to look for, where Pantheon wins the lane more often than not at Emerald+.
