Myrmidon Pantheon

Got Myrmidon Pantheon from a chest last week and honestly wasn't expecting much from this 520 RP skin. After around 40 games though, I'm actually surprised how clean it feels compared to base Pantheon. The golden armor aesthetic might seem basic at first but there's something about how the abilities flow that makes last hitting and trading feel way smoother.

The Q spear throw has this satisfying weight to it that makes poking in lane feel more responsive than base skin. His W stun looks cleaner too, making it easier to tell when you've locked someone down during chaotic teamfights. But the real difference is his E shield bash animation feels less clunky when you're trying to cancel it early for those quick trades. I remember this one dragon fight where I could actually see my E hitbox clearly against the river terrain, something that always felt muddy on base skin. The ult channel is probably the only ability that doesn't feel different, still has that same windup timing.

Compared to other Pantheon skins like Dragonslayer, Myrmidon definitely lacks the flashy effects and unique recall animation. It's purely cosmetic with no real advantage, but for 520 RP you're getting surprisingly smooth animations that won't tilt you when trying to CS under tower. The golden theme ages well too since it's not trying too hard with particle effects that might look dated later.

Is Myrmidon Pantheon worth it? If you're a Pantheon main who values clean gameplay over flashy visuals, absolutely. It's not gonna make you pop off harder but it won't get in your way either. For casual players though, save for Perseus or Ruined Pantheon instead.
