How to play it

Never brawl him
The lane is unplayable up close: stay at max range and don't let him leap onto you for the all-in.
Poke with Q
Max Q, not W: it outranges Pantheon and nukes him since he's squishy, so win the range game instead of the brawl.
Steal his ult to roam
Take his ult whenever you want to sidelane and use it as a global teleport to move around the map.
Never let Pantheon get on top of you: you lose the all-in, so keep the fight at your Q's range.
