Nocturne's ultimate should not completely remove champions for the entire duration of team fights

This isn't even hyperbole; if I'm playing something like Vel'koz or Ziggs, I can only throw abilities in the general direction of the fight and often not actually do anything. By the time I've regained vision, the fight is over and we've likely lost, because I couldn't participate. Alternatively, an assassin will flank and one shot me because I don't have vision to keep it away or stop it until it's too late.

This makes it completely impossible to win or carry games as these champions. Nocturne himself and the dash aren't even relevant.

This ability needs to be updated to reflect the high damage and short team fight durations we have now.

None of this is true

His ult has a long cool down. Average game is 27 minutes and his ult last a max of 8 seconds. I guess you’ll have to try and make plays the other 26 minutes and 20 seconds.

It's a 100 second cooldown reduced to 60 at max level. It's 1/2 as long as Hourglass. Did you even think before you posted this?

did you think before you posted? you're complaining that because his ult constricts your vision you can't properly team fight? if you can't learn to play around other champions abilities its your own fault. You don't see me on here posting about how kindred ult keeps me from killing people during a team fight.

Once a fight is committed to, he presses R and suddenly you can't see anything without getting close enough for something to kill you. There is no playing around this; you can retreat and wait it out, but your front lines are engaged in what is essentially a 3v5/4v5, and they're all going to be dead before you regain vision.

If you never commit to any fights, you spend the entire game retreating and giving up all objectives until they're at your nexus. There is no playing around it.

This is why we need rank restricted forums. You have no idea how the game works.

No idea how the game works coming from someone who is being outplayed by a nocturne ult passive :D
