Thoughts on Nocturne

So. Nocturne. In short, he doesn't see a whole lot of play. Now, I don't think he's in the same situation as say, yorick or aatrox, where he needs a full rework, but I do think he needs some small changes just to up his abilities to help him do what he already does.

First off, the commonly suggested change to his ult to shorten the cooldown if he doesn't use the dash. Perhaps not say, half of it, but at least some portion of it. It's so easy for someone to just walk outta vision or into a bush at the last second, and considering the high cooldown at the early ranks, I think that'd be fair.

Second, make his E do the same amount of damage and apply the fear at either 1.5 or 1 seconds. this ability becomes harder and harder to pull off late game, as by then most champions have either developed enough damage to end the fight in those 2 seconds, or have gained enough cdr that their mobility abilities (see fizz E/Lucian E) put them out of range of the tether.

Third, change the range on his ult. Either make it scale harder or make the range uniform. Right now at rank 1 his ult range is rather small. As is the range is about red buff to the mid turret. Considering the cooldown and the fact that his ult doesn't do a whole bunch of damage, throwing a small leash on it seems a little excessive.

Now, I've got some decent experience with noc, but I am silver, so keep that in mind if I've made some stupid statement. Thoughts anyone?
