Lux
support · Hook engage
One landed skillshot is the whole lane, and minion cover is what stops it from ever starting.

Lux's Q into full rotation is her only engage; behind minions she is a shield bot, and her cooldowns are long enough to punish.
Pantheon
support · Lane bully
Wins the early trades outright and has to be punished on cooldowns instead of fought head-on.
Support Pantheon all-ins at level two. Respect the first wave crash and hug your minions.
Pantheon support converts level-2 priority into kills with W; the 2v2 before 3:00 is his best window all game.
