Level 2PantheonWith both points in Q he chunks you on every step to farm while you have no kill threat back.
Level 3Even / skillSkill - you can farm safely with Wild Cards from range, so the lane stalls to even mechanics.
Levels 4-5Even / skillSkill - neither of you kills the other outright if you respect his stun and hold your Yellow Card.
Level 6PantheonGrand Starfall gives him a roam and dive threat your Destiny only matches, and his point-blank W stun still wins the direct fight.
First itemPantheonHis first lethality item keeps the W-to-empowered-Q all-in a kill threat while your first item only stabilizes you.
Two+ itemsEven / skillSkill - Pantheon's single-target diving falls off and your Wild Cards clear plus Destiny picks make the game a wash.
