Nocturne's Ult...

Why did Nocturne need a nerf on his ult? I mean really the range and cd on it is a joke. I remember when playing before the nerf that you could ult and be able to attack opponents from a pretty far distance which was what made his ganking powerful and what made him a viable jungler. Now? His ult range is no where near as good as it used to be, you used to be able to stand around the middle of the river, ult and close in for the kill/summoner summoner 4 spell but now you have to stand in the bushes which are more than likely warded and it just makes banking with him so much harder now than it used to be. So I'm asking if there could be an increase in his ult range because right now its so small that it can only be used if your right next to someone or your trying to put someone in place. Champions like shen and twisted fate have global ults (summoner 12 ) that let them assist their team and they are hardly used as junglers. So why not let someone who is an actual jungler have a range that is a bigger, so that people can once again strike fear when the ult as Nocturne?

I would like to see Nocturne's ult range buffed. Compared to Twisted Fate, Rek'Sai and Pantheon, Paranoia is pretty meh because its current range is a joke. The range barely increases when it's leveled up, while TF, R'S and Pan's ult ranges get dramatically larger when leveled. The biggest issue with Nocturne with pre-nerf Paranoia range is that its targeted, which means it guaranteed that you will lock onto an enemy champion while being invulnerable to any form of CC. I imagine that Paranoia in the past was like if Vi's ult was global. Honestly, if Riot does decide to buff Nocturne's ult, they will probably have to change it from targeted dash and into a channeled teleport.

also damage is very low considering it's an ultimate and considering its CD and range

But... but if you're right by dragon, your level 1 ult can almost reach bot lane!

I feel the cooldown and range nerf were "justified" because his ultimate denies ALL vision to the enemy team except for what their own champion can see. Also if used correctly, it can be devastating. T8 used it really well, only team I've watched that did it(though there can be others, just they are only ones I've seen it done with).

Also they have been trying to "remove" globals, which was another reason for it probably. As for vision, you can use trinkets to clear stuff out so you can get ganks in, something that didn't exist when he was originally created, so you should be fine if you actually play the ward game, which it sounds like you don't.

Dude stop talking. Its basically a garenteed kill if you aren't completely incompetent. Youcan attack your opponent without them seeing you. Its basically take out the ADC with no counterplay.
