Nocturne Changes?

Natake··1 votes·449 views

Does anyone else think Nocturne could stand some changes?

I've been a Nocturne main for about 2 years.

I think the fear move speed buff and the increased damage they gave him were nice touches, but I do think they could stand to give him a few more changes. I was kind of sad the assassin update didn't touch him at all.

Not suggesting a full VGU but just some quality of life changes or buffs. Although I wouldn't be opposed to a rework if they kept his ult.

I would love a new passive on him though.

Nocturne's issue right now is mostly meta IMO. He really relies on a decent early game where his lanes don't fall to pieces, and this meta is all about snowballing.

I agree, but I do think there's a bit more to it.

Nocturne isn't as bursty compared to other assassins.

While most assassins have combos, his is just kinda, ult and try your best to stick to them. And while he does have good sticking power, he suffers a bit from that playstyle because every other assassin is burst city.

The closest comparison is Master Yi, but while Nocturne focuses way more on AS, Master Yi has higher AD and then a massive AS steroid, on top of decent AS already, while Nocturne's AD is often subpar.

He can all in one person but after that, he has no way out.

I know his job is to isolate people but still.

I'm not disagreeing, he's not good right now.
