Tips for the new champions:
Pantheon's ultimate is like Gangplank's, it can hit anywhere on the map, but it takes 4 seconds to cast and 2 seconds before actually landing. That's 6 seconds of you predicting where the enemy is going to be and 2 seconds of them knowing the ult is going to land. The damage is high if you hit spot on but anything below that is a gimmick ult. It is however able to be cancelled within 4 seconds and it seems that the cooldown of the ult does not trigger completely if you do so, but rather gets a mini-CD. It's much preferable to cancel the skill to say directly jump into the hands of a bunch of enemy champions though. I'm still unsure of what builds to go for Pantheon, as it seems they've left him pretty open. He got two abilities that roll with ability power (little more than melee range stunning shield /w 1 enemy attack blocked) and his ultimate (Grand Skyfall e.g. the ultimate I've been describing) and he got two abilities that roll with damage (a targetted spear-throw with a little shorter range than his normal attack range and a spear attack blitz with the range of Annie's fire breath, where you attack 5 times or so with a set damage + 18% (I think) of your attack damage added. Does double damage to Champions. I'm personally going with attack damage because Grand Skyfall and Shieldslam doesn't seem to be his bread and butter. The Aegis (the thing that blocks attacks) does work on turrets which means that Pantheon can be the dude that swiftly goes in and blocks one strike of the turret for a teammate with nothing but a yellow 'COCKBLOCKED' over his head. Spear blitz hits like a cannon early game and a good way to get first blood is have them stuck in one perhaps with Shieldslam / Exhaust. I'm trying to have success with this guy but still experimenting.
The dwarf drinker's ult's strength is utility as it has an insane amount of knockback and a well placed casket will blow the shit out of enemies in the form of throwing it behind them and watch them get blasted into the turret. This works both ways however and you should not throw the shit down in group fights unless you're 100% it's going to land in the group's favor. You will literally save the entire enemy group's arse or disengage the entire fight if they just as much as run a little bit in front of the casket, so be careful with that shit or the team will hate you for it. This guy's strength seems to be farming. My friend plays him so that he throws a damaging casket (forgot which) after just hitting every caster minion once and kills them all, it was impossible for me to lane with the guy because I never got any goddamn minion kills, the bastard. Official rule is that this guy is a tank, but I haven't seen any tanking abilities per say but he is the best lane keeper I've ever seen, since if you smack a Catalyst on his ass he simply drinks and drinks and refills mana and health (mana with active ability, health with his passive).
Tips against them would be in Pantheon's case to stay out of range and if you see an enormous circle on the ground (like Gangplank's circle but without the 'x' in the middle), gtfo the circle.
Dwarf drinker's pretty simple, place yourself on the right side of the casket (in most cases that's AWAY from it) and learn to decipher when the ultimate comes so you can make sure your ass isn't thrown to turretland (unless it's your turretland in which case bring me a souvenir).
Pretty much what I've gathered so far.
