Why NO ONE Plays: Nocturne | League of Legends

I wish.

As a Nocturne main, idrc if he gets an update or a full rework. I think I'd be happy with both.

But from a rework perspective, I'd be really cool if his darkness was a basic ability (no dash, just vision denial) think along the lines of Warwick W. During darkness, nocturne gains bonus stats.

His E could become a short range dash (smaller version of his ult) which resets on takedowns.

His passive could change to something along the lines of; Grants movement speed when moving towards feared targets. The first basic attack on a large monster or champion fears them for X secs (on a cd per champ), Takedowns refreshes the 'per champion' cd on nearby targets (centered on the takedown, not nocturne).

If keeping his q similar to what it is now, it probably wouldn't need the stats nearly as much if his w gives it to him instead, but it would be cool if it allowed Nocturne to traverse through walls on his path (if he steps off his path, he would flick out of the wall like Kayn does). if his q gets reworked entirely, I would try to give it some form of AOE for clearing jg which has been removed from his current passive. With that in mind I would maybe just make his passive his new Q. Q Grants the next basic attack AOE, which applies on hit and lifesteal and healing him for a set amount per target hit with the AOE (I would love to add armor shred to this but it might be too much considering it would also apply the first basic attack fear if they haven't been hit by Nocturne yet).

His ultimate would simply be a passive with an active stat boost; Passive: E dash range increased during W Darkness. Active: Bonus attack speed, AD and doubling his lifesteal on feared targets. (if armor shred is not added to his Q I might be inclined to add here instead probably to feared targets specifically).

"Why everyone plays noctune now"

nocs a secret gem i shit on everyone

Nocturne is an imba who has no counterpick.

There is one other interesting interaction with nocturne R, Shen cant ult to protect someone while paranoia is active and all spell shields are deactivated during the R, e.g. malz passive, banshees, edge of night

Nocturne has been my main since season 4 😀

Agurin reached rank 3 in Korea this year playing him, imagine if the champion was good xD

Play it as a support and climb so easy

He is super super good for ganks

literally just played him and did really well 🤷

Haven’t played LoL since i was 12. Sometimes i come back to look at Nocturne videos in remembrance to how many countless champions I’ve shredded. How many tears I brought to many players. And hoping still, even today that he’s still op and a terrifying champion to go up against. I mained jungle & between Kayn, Nocturne and Master Yi i was always fed early. How I miss those days

Nocturne is kind of a "win more" champion. If you're playing against a team of shitty players, like an ADC who consistently goes off alone with no vision, Nocturne will steam roll the enemy team. But so what? You should be winning anyway if the enemy team is playing like shit. So why not pick a champion that actually increases your chance of winning against a good team instead?

Wait till you play Noc top against a Sett
You ever negate half of your opponent's damage with a press of a button

I think nocturne is really good, he has a larger amount of utility than you have shown. his fear causes targets to run away, so if you position yourself behind them they will be feared toward your team, also if you attempt to flash over top of nocturne with the fear chain on you it doesnt actually get you outside the tether. Plus he has a 90% ms boost toward feared targets, that works with any fear not just his own. And as for escaping, if you Q away from your target the monent the fear hits you can create a huge distance between yourself and the person chasing you. His W is a hugely powerful ability if used correctly you can completly turn a fight in your favor if you use it at the right time. He has great sustain in the jg with his passive and a respectable clear speed. He is also very good at countering a dive with his ult. Even if the enemy jg clears faster you can always gank the same lane and make it a 2v2

I feel like if Nocturne got released in 2023, Riot would probably give him a ult reset for every kill/assit
