Nocturne is currently a bit too strong?

Nocturne seems to be godlike in the hands of a good player, his passive combines with q does way too much damage and if he has enough attack speed he can proc his passive every 3 seconds late game to decimate enemies in a teamfight. Early game he is uncounterable because of that speed boost and 1 second fear making him a strong duelist and ganker and late game he can still 1 shot a carry with ult and q. Moreover, if timed well with randuins, his passive attack damage and aoe with arm pen can deal some serious damage to the enemy team. I'm not saying Riot should nerf him but they should definitely give either his passive or q a tweak so he can stay in line better with other junglers (except j4 cuz hes borken af) since his numbers has not been reduced in months. Apart from that there's barely any junglers that can outduel him once he finishes his first jungle item and he instagibs anyone below half health with just his ult, q, and some autos. I know that he isn't fotm atm but he and Jarvan both need to be brought down in terms of balance for the sake of healthy gameplay.

He snowballs. If he falls behind he becomes very weak.

Except that even if he falls behind he can still grab himself some kills/assists by ulting the enemy mid or adc similar to jarvan and then instantly win the teamfight. Not very fun to play against.

That 'instant win' of the teamfight was set up by (presumably) the mid or support, someone who poked them down.

Don't forget that the part of his ult also denies vision for the enemy team.

Don't forget, it also has an extremely long cooldown. Nocturne is completely balanced, his ganks aren't the best pre-6 similar to warwick and he gets a power spike post 6, like other assassins, if he gets ahead he snowballs, and if he's behind, he's pretty weak.

Nocturne is balanced, also his ult got several secret nerfs in range.

I agree but the problem is that his kit is overloaded with goodies he can freely abuse with 40% cdr. 55 attack damage and 80% attack speed increase that offers perfect synergy with his passive is pretty huge if you ask me..

Still, nocturne gets 2 steroids on his basic abilities and does not have to purchase an insane amount of ad and build squishy to compensate.

His win rate is pretty terrible and his pick rate has always been poor. He's mediocre.
