How to Beat Pantheon as Thresh (Support)

While statistically Thresh is slightly stronger than Pantheon as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Thresh deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (89.27%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pantheon, ranking 17th (versus 39th for Thresh) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.7) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Thresh Support versus Pantheon Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Thresh player to maintain constant pressure on Pantheon, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Thresh tips:

  • Communication is key when making use of Thresh's lantern. Let your teammates know how you like to use it.
  • Death Sentence and Flay can be combined in either cast order for powerful combinations.
  • Thresh can collect souls without needing to kill units himself. Planning your map position to be near the most deaths will help to maximize soul collection.

Playing Against Pantheon

  • Pantheon's Aegis Assault makes him invulnerable from the front. Get behind him or wait it out.
  • Be careful near Pantheon if your health is low - a thrown Comet Spear executes low health enemies.
  • Grand Starfall gives several seconds of warning before Pantheon arrives. Use this time to get out of the way or to form a plan to deal with him.
