as a Noct 1 trick, this patch....

PhearBunny··1 votes·787 views

My Ranked account is a Nocturne only account, sitting at 67% winrate 75wins. For the bulk of this season, ive been playing Jungle primarily, but as a one trick i would have to dip into top/mid/support once in a while(no big deal). Only thing id dodge is if i rolled ADC.(i would break meta and be a detriment if i tried to 1trick Noct in an ADC slot).

Anywho, the list of viable junglers atm pretty much looks like... Graves Khaz Xin Lee Olaf Yi Jax etc etc, your typcical lvl2 fighters.

This has forced me out of my primarily role as Nocturne. BUTTTTT... Past 10games or so, ive been playing Mid Nocturne w Smite, and i have to say, its working surprisingly well this patch. I am able to quickly shove the lane, and venture off to take scuttles/enemy jungle camps safely(Because enemy laner cannot keep up with the Q+Umbrablades waveclear. In over half the games ive played ive been able to completely shutdown the enemy jungler, while maintaining a CS lead in the mid lane.

only sitting in high gold/low plat atm tho, so its hard to guage how good it really is, but its working for me.

In the jungle couldnt you just ask your support for a long leash so you can get red+krugs?

Nocts clear isn't healthy enough or mobile enough to deal with the amount of skirmishing a jungler has to do now. Id pretty much never be safe.

but yes, I can still jungle. Just finding solo lanes to be the better option atm.

Ah yes mobility. Wasnt there supposed to be a buff to his Q where he could ignore terrain while on the shadow path? That'd help the whole mobility thing, thats for sure.

Uhh noct is a strong duelist, you sure you aren't playing him wrong?

yes, hes a strong duelist at lvl3. If you clear your jg to lvl3 as Noct, you are going to be too close to dead to duel anything. That's the problem half of junglers are having.

MonkeyKing is strong duelist after level3 as well, the problem is to reach that level3.

Nocturne is ok early on but also doesn't hit his spike until level 6.

Any crit diver is fun though, in general. Crit is very strong.
