Riot, let's talk Nocturne

It's no secret that has been out of the loop for quite some time. He has all of the necessary tools to be a strong pick in the jungle (Gap close, sustain, CC, damage potential), but his numbers on everything just seem... underwhelming compared to quite a few other jungle champions. Sure he can jump in on your face from halfway across the map, but his damage isn't quite strong enough to kill all but the squishiest targets. And after his ult is blown he has no other reliable gap closer, while half of the very strong squishy picks like adc and mid lane have multiple dashes worked into their kits. Simply put; as he is right now, he has the potential to be so much more but is not quite there yet. Are there any changes in the works for our favorite nightmare? :)

Isn't there a huge range increase on his ult on the PBE right now?

Ah you're right I just looked through surrender at 20 and found it xD must have missed it before...... however this doesn't change any of the other points, like the lack of relevant damage or the lack of mobility after his ult is blown.

His damage is quite good. I see Nocturns carrying games about as often as other junglers. He has very good mobility due to the Dusk Trail from his Q and his ult range.

I think he will be in a good position after this buff.
