Nocturne is the perfect example of how terrible the balance team is

Riot games just refuses to nerf broken champions like Nocturne with shit design. Laning against a nocturne is one of the most cancerous experiences I've had playing this game. Nocturne with lethal tempo and ignite, actually doesn't fucking lose lane. How is it fair that he can just keep healing and winning every fucking trade because I literally cant fight back. If I even attempt to fight back he'll fear me and take out all my HP. And if his ultimate is up then there literally is no counter play to him whatsoever. I've played against both Nocturne mid and top with multiple champions and never won unless I was playing a mage. How is it fair that he can shit on every melee mid champ and most top lane champs in lane? Please nerf this brain dead champion because this is the definition of shit design. Cancerous champions like this is the reason why people fucking hate this horrible game.

I'll be honest, it's been some time since I heard someone complain about Nocturne, especially when there are other more obvious examples of broken shit Riot has been pushing on us.

It doesn't happen in pro play so Riot doesn't care.

Nocturne is a terrible champion. Get good. honestly, just wow.

The only people who can possibly complain about Nocturne are abysmal players who dont know how to NOT be overextended and isolated.

And youre complaining about him in the top lane? Okay, hes a solid laner....until you finish your Ninja Tabi, or pick any of the handful of meta champs that can outplay him via mechanics, SINCE HE HAS NONE.

I'm embarrassed on your behalf.

I agree that he is OP but no , Riot won't nerf an unpopular champion that is barely played and not an issue in pro play He isn't even in the top of the OP list , many champions are way better than him

Y'all do know Nocturnes ult doesnt even deal damage if you walk away from it right? Its not a point and click gaurenteed nuke. Its a empowered auto. It doesnt deal damage unless he gets to auto you. SO, just walk in the opposite direction he's coming from and it will not hit you. or dash it.

I honestly wouldn't mind him winning lane most of the time if he didn't also have that buff from last season. The one where they buffed the duration of his ultimate to six seconds without vision. It makes solo queue an absolute nightmare, no pun intended.

also, Nocturne top breaks meta team compositions, and while he is a solid laner, he becomes a detriment to the team when he isnt fulfilling his job in the team composition.

He's also very susceptible to ganks given the nature of his laning. His passive alone unavoidably hardshoves the lane, so with that in mind he just Q+Umbrablades every wave and keeps you on your tower and himself in a rather dangerous position.

People who think lane nocturne is a joke have never experienced that crap

There are games where i will be Duoing with a buddy and i'll hear nocturns ult and just say "Sorry man you're dead" as a support main whos job it is to SAVE THE ADC do you know how annoying that is, how much defeat you feel knowing you are winning lane but will never be able to transition that past level 6 nocturn because lane phase has not ended? Champs that are meant to counter engage are useless against him also. Playing thresh? Guess what, can;t see where exactly to throw lantern, hook wont help because spell shield, enemy team sees where my adc is at so fuck me right?
