Zaahen vs Pantheon Matchup Summary

The Zaahen vs Pantheon matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 55 recent matches analyzed, Pantheon wins with a 61.8% win rate compared to Zaahen's 38.2%, giving Pantheon a 23.6 percentage point advantage. Pantheon dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Zaahen players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Zaahen leads by 742 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Pantheon has a strong advantage in this matchup. Zaahen players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Pantheon overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
