Changes to Nocture's E

So currently Nocturne is a very lackluster jungler in comparison to many others, so I would suggest this change to his E to increase his team fight potential while weakening his dueling ability.

Unspeakable Horror: Range 500 COST: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 mana COOLDOWN: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11

Passive: Nocturne gains massively increased movement speed when moving toward Fear icon fleeing targets.

_**Active: Nocturne channels nightmares for 2 seconds during this time he can use all abilities but cannot auto attack (channel duration reduced to 1 second if on dusk trail). dealing magic damage when the channel ends, targets within 500-range of Nocturne turns and Fear icon flees from him for a short duration.

Magic damage: 75 / 100 / 125 / 150 / 175 (+ 80% AP) Flee: 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5**_

I think this would work very well in team fights, and much better for ganks with his ult to improve kill potential, while weakening his dueling ability by decreasing his fear time and damage on a single target, while also forcing him to stop attacking while channeling this ability. Let me know what you think (changes to the skill are in Italics).

I also couldn't find a good win/loss ratio for him tried using this http://lolmatches.com/championstats/ site but the sample size just seemed far to small to be relevant...so any help on that would also be great, thanks.

TLDR Change Nocture's E to a mass fear with a channel.

I'm disarmed?

What people do is that they will tank your fear while just keep damaging you. He loses 1.5 seconds to fight back, you lose 1-2 seconds. It's worth more for him to attack you than to run away. Perfect execution for the phrase "Do not flee, and fight your fears", haha.

And the early duration nerf will nerf his ganking even further, and make him even more lackluster compared to other junglers.

If you need AoE CC, you should have a team that does it for you. Not everyone need to do everything.

I like the idea of mass fear effect, but I'm curious about the channel. Would you still be able to move? Channeling usually involves no movement or action, and are cancelled by silence or stun. Would it work somewhat likeMorgana ult in terms of tether mechanic?
