Ruined Pantheon

After 80 games with Ruined Pantheon, I can finally give you guys my honest take on whether this skin is worth grabbing. Got it from a chest last month and wasn't expecting much since I usually rock Dragonslayer, but this thing completely changed how I play the champ.

The Q feels way more responsive than base skin, especially when you're trying to weave autos between abilities. His E actually looks threatening now with that purple corruption effect, and enemies seem to respect it more in lane. But the real game changer is his ult. The impact feels heavier and the visual clarity is insane compared to other Pantheon skins. Last night I ulted into dragon pit and the enemy team actually scattered because they could clearly see where I was landing, which ironically helped my team secure it while they repositioned. The W stun has this satisfying crunch to it that makes you feel like you're actually locking someone down.

Compared to Perseus or even Pulsefire, Ruined just flows better. The animations don't feel clunky at all and there's something about the darker aesthetic that makes CS'ing easier, probably because the spear contrasts better against minions. Is Ruined Pantheon worth it if you're buying with RP? At 1350 RP it's not cheap, but for Pantheon mains who want both style and smoother gameplay, it's definitely worth. Not quite pay to win, but the cleaner animations and better visual feedback give you a slight edge in teamfights.

My experience with Ruined Pantheon convinced me to make it my go to skin. If you play him regularly or want to start maining him, grab it next time it's in your shop.
