[Mr. Zhu]

Pantheon's E passive (especially in early game close match-up scenarios, his E passive is VERY important) and in-lane auto attack poke is still going to be greatly diminished. He's not just simply a Q machine. Also, with the dominance of Ninja Tabi as the top-lane standard unless other team runs full stun comp or double AP, every top lane will end up starting cloth and 5 pots, which will hurt just about every top laner that doesn't scale with farm as well as the likes of Nasus, Udyr, GP, Irelia or Tryn. If Pantheon, Renekton, Riven can't get those early kills up top, they will pretty much fall behind in the longer run of the game. And all of that utility on Ninja tabi for 850? That's quite ridiculous.
