Rengar vs Pantheon Counter Pick

A 54.2% win rate across 214 games on patch 16.13.1 puts Rengar ahead, and the mechanism is directional. Aegis Assault makes Pantheon invulnerable to damage from the front while he strikes with his spear; it does nothing about damage arriving from behind. Thrill of the Hunt camouflages Rengar and reveals the nearest enemy champion in a large radius, so the approach angle is chosen by the Rengar player rather than dictated by terrain. That single interaction explains most of the edge.

Elsewhere the numbers run mildly against Rengar. Pantheon attacks from 175 units against 125, opens with 650 health against 590, finishes at 2,503 against 2,358, and holds 40 base armor rising to 124.2 while Rengar sits at 34 and 105.4, which matters because Rengar’s damage is entirely physical. Mortal Will empowers his next spell every few casts, and Shield Vault is a dash-and-stun that interrupts the leap if Rengar approaches inside vision. The practical rule is to avoid open-ground skirmishes and save the ultimate for a repositioned angle, ideally once Comet Spear has already been thrown. Ferocity also builds from casting rather than draining a pool, so a Rengar who repeats short skirmishes pays nothing while Pantheon spends mana. Difficulty ratings of 8 against 4 mean the favorable win rate still demands cleaner execution from the Rengar side than from his opponent. Ability detail: Pantheon.
