Viego vs Pantheon Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Viego, The Ruined King, meets Pantheon, the Unbreakable Spear, in the jungle. The sample behind this page is 538 games from patch 16.13.1, and Viego wins 53.9% of them. Being 3.9 points clear of the 50% line makes Pantheon a favourable draw for Viego.
Both sides lean physical, meaning Pantheon and Viego shop from the same defensive shelf. Viego opens on 630 health and 34 armour, Pantheon on 650 and 40. Pantheon starts 6 armour ahead, which is felt before either buys anything. By level 18 that becomes 2483 health and 112 armour for Viego against 2503 and 124 for Pantheon. On autos alone the numbers read 57 AD for Viego and 64 for Pantheon.
With both sitting in melee range (200 against 175), neither side gets a free poke pattern.
Watch the cooldowns that swing it: Viego’s Blade of the Ruined King (Q) against Pantheon’s Aegis Assault (E). Then it becomes Heartbreaker against Grand Starfall, and the one still holding it sets the terms. Viego pays in None, Pantheon in Mana, so extended trades drain them at different rates.
The page tracks Viego against Pantheon continuously rather than freezing on one patch.
