Could we please give Nocturne stuff that isn't USELESS?

The last time I saw him consistently was when Feral Flare was a thing. He's overshadowed by practically anyone with instant CC or gap closing mechanics....which is practically everyone in the blasted jungle nowadays.

He's a worse version of RekSai basically, with his ultimate and Q being the only nice things he's ever really had.

His passive with Sated Devourer makes it go faster certainly. But as it stands, he proc's his passive once every 5-7 seconds, with Sated Devourer moving it to 2 times every 5-7 seconds. Joke here is...if you attack even 0.01 seconds too soon then his passive will just say "nope.avi" and not activate until the next attack. Why? Why would you keep this if you wanted Nocturne to get better? You know he even stacks attack speed, I KNOW YOU DO.

I would have more success taking a piss in someone's cup of apple juice than Nocturne would sustaining himself and winning fights because of his passive.

Then there's good ol' E, useless cause Fiddlesticks does it better. How about you make him move faster WHILE ACTUALLY CHAINED TO SOMEONE. It's very easy to get out of with a leap, dash, or flash. Really easy. I don't know who, but there is probably someone at Riot thinking "But Nocturne will murder them if he gets to do that." I guess that's not the point of picking Nocturne then.... ** ????????????????????????????????? **

Looking at his spell shield where he is diving the enemy team right in the middle, there is an EXTREMELY high chance he's going to get focused. Blocking one spell isn't going to do anything if a potent SLOW can stop your entire assault unless the person you're attacking decided to tab off to Youtube saying "GL HF guys!" Fiora already has something better to the degree of stupidity since it blocks summoner's, inflicts damage AND CAN PROC HER PASSIVE. And you're telling me Nocturne only gets ATTACK SPEED which he already should be building?? The logic of that might as well be the same as me getting drunk on a Wednesday morning heading off to go perform heart surgery.

I am fuming because I have wanted to play Nocturne for well over a year now, but literally every jungler meant to assassinate people can do it better than he can. His "global assault" niche is useless if he can't initiate with it and then follow up alone. He's not an AoE AD damage supercharged tanky snowball-reliant champion. He's an assassin that chases people down and kills them even when that person is around their team, like someone's worst nightmare. Get that straight and work on Nocturne properly for once.

I'm watching you while you sleep Rito

Buffing his numbers would mean making him almost impossible to duel unless it was something that affected him later in the game (which he is already good at). That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about how his kit doesn't really have enough synergy. Passive is unreliable in many cases, and his sustain right now in the jungle is at its worst. Spell Shield's worth is debatable. His E was buffed not too long ago for a reason, and that's cause it doesn't make his ganks all that better. If you have to revert any changes to a champ's ultimate, then you have to have at least some belief that a champion is not good enough.

He's just really mediocre right now. In the split push meta, he was extremely powerful for being able to gank, split push, AND farm the jungle very quickly. Those times are over and tank items (which he relied especially on Randuin) have been nerfed. I think he needs SOMETHING because he is not in any favorable position right now unless he takes free farm from his lanes 24/7.

He needs straight up buffs. Or rather revert a few from his trillion nerfs.
