I main nocturne, and i'm still very confused on his W, and what it blocks. Because it does not block many abilities, and its confusing me since its description implies it does. I was assuming similar to Sivir.
Any help would be great, thank you.
EndlessSorcerer1 votesIt blocks the same things that Sivir's Spellshield and Banshee's Veil blocks.
ApeSlave1 votesOkay, so then its without a doubt bugged.
Thank you for your response.
Slythion1 votesIt isn't bugged, it blocks a singular skill and only lasts for a split second so you need to have nearly perfect timing. It's a pretty hard spell to use
ApeSlave1 votesHmm. Okay ill focus more on it, because I wouldnt make this message, if it didnt seem messed. Maybe its the animation, because when I've had the bubble, ive been hit and take dam. Its happened many times. So i assumed its maybe only for certain things. Although like you said, it could just be the timing is off, and i need to get better with it.
Akenero2 votesThere are a few spells that go through it, which also applies to sivir's spell shield. Mainly Dot abilities though

ult (this one is super complex, using a qss will drop the fish, but you'll still be heavily slowed, spell shields will block the damage, but you'll still be knocked up, and as far as I know, it's impossible to block the fish from reaching it's destination)
fizz q ALSO goes through spell shields, due to it's physical and magical damage components, so you only block one form of damage.

q is actually impossible to block, trust me, i've tried
all ground targeted aoe abilities that do damage over time aren't blocked, and most multi-hit abilities only block one spell
ApeSlave1 votesHMMMM!! Thanks for this in-depth response. But this kind of adds credence to my query. There should be a detailed section on Champs moves in cases like this. Riot puts so much time in, I dont think it be a big deal to explain these particular things.
If Yasuos wind wall blocks the fish ult, then the noct W should too. I dont understand how they make there programming decisions on what wins over what. For instance, Hecs E (charge) vs Poppys Charge, where poppys wins if Hecs Charging.
HMMM!!!!!
Valexfor1 votesIt can block the same skills shivir's shield or banshee can but it blocks only one skill and lasts almost nothing so it's hard to time but it block prettymuch everything is considered a skill the game.
