In a separate thread asking if he thinks Pantheon could use a visual updates for, IronStylus shared his thoughts on Pantheon, Targon, and what he sees as the most challenging part of a potential VU:
"Yes. Yes he does.
Problem: How to make Spartan dude not Spartan dude but still make him sorta feel like Spartan dude.
Anyway, there's probably space in Targon to really make something of Panth. Right now Targon itself needs some fleshing out before that can be the case. Is Targon our celestial-grecco-roman-ish playground thing? Cool. We can't be JUST a ripoff of that though. We've gotta make our nods of the mythology we're tapping into but we've also gotta put it in a unique place.
I think we'll probably get to a VU when we flesh Targon out more. Hell, I'd adapt Leona to a more deep connection to Targon if we flesh the region out more. I think Diana falls more in line with what could inspire an aesthetic of Targon form language, but that inspiration would have to be reverse engineered onto Leona and Pantheon both I feel.
Either way, he's probably not going to get anything super soon. Good news though is that as we saw with Dragon Slayer Pantheon's successful execution as a skin, we can make a pretty cool new base from that potentially along the lines of Maokai and Alistar if we reach a consensus about where Panth fits in."
