Modernizing Nocturne

Kingsgrave··1 votes·189 views

*TLDR:

  • Duskbringer gives AS + passive goes off of CD quicker if on Dusk Trail
  • AD from Q and AS from W are switched basically
  • E is a root that turns into a Stun if procc'd on a Dusk Trail
  • Passive has a slow on it but the general CD is a lot higher
  • Nocturne's Ultimate has a lot less damage and slightly less CD early but it has a fear and more utility*

____________________________________________________________________________________

Umbra Blades (Passive)

  • Reduces the CD by 2 seconds instead of 1 if the enemy is hit on a Dusk Trail
  • CD raised to 18 seconds from 10 seconds
  • Now slows all enemies hit by the Umbra Blade strike by 50% for .75 seconds

Duskbringer (Q)

  • Gives 60/70/80/90/100% Attack Speed instead of 15/25/35/45/55 Attack Damage
  • Will now attach to Monsters as well as Champions
  • Cast time removed aka can be cast while moving
  • Nocturne passively ignores unit collision instead of only when he is on a Dusk Trail

Shroud of Darkness (W)

  • Mana cost removed
  • Now passively gives 10/15/20/25/30 Attack Damage instead of 20/25/30/35/40% Attack Speed
  • Attack Damage triples for 3 seconds to 30/45/60/75/90
  • Duration of Shield lowered to .5 seconds from 1.5 seconds
  • Cooldown lowered to 10 seconds at all ranks from 20/18/16/14/12

Unspeakable Horror (E)

  • Now a 1.5 second Root at all ranks
  • If E goes off on a target on a Dusk Trail, it is turned into a 2 second stun instead
  • Tether range reduced to 450 from 465
  • Deals 100/125/150/175/200 (+50% AP) magic damage over 2 seconds and then 50/62.5/75/87.5/100 (+50% AP) magic damage if they are rooted or stunned by the effect

Paranoia (R)

  • Base damage lowered to 100/175/250 from 150/250/350
  • Bonus AD ratio lowered to 80% from 120%
  • Now fears all targets around Nocturne upon landing for .75 seconds
  • All enemies spawn Dusk Trails behind them for 4 seconds
  • Cooldown adjusted to 160/130/100 from 180/140/100
  • Dash will now follow target to wherever they move to instead of landing at the exact spot they were if they move out of a certain range of Nocturne (think of Maokai W)

Changing his E isn't thematically appropriate for his kit, and his ult already does enough without giving it a fear as well. In all honesty Nocturne is just fine the way he is, I do great with him more often than not. There are plenty of other champs who need "modernizing" more.

Stun seems a little long.
