Nocturne, the underpowered shadow.

Has anybody played nocturne recently? I have. Have you jungled with him recently? I have. The camps have been buffed. Nocturne has not. He clears camps very slowly early game and has no significant sustain. He is much easier to play on TT but falls out late game against other champions such as Kha and Rengar.

I really think Nocturne could use a little buff. His attack damage is pretty low regardless of the Q buff. His W is 1.5 seconds and you really, really, really, need to land a good hit with that if you want to maximize your damage. The problem comes when you have no way to stop auto attacks from champions, you have no way to block the damage from champions like Yi, Fiora, any ADC, even Jax. (Okay, Jax derps on anybody who uses auto attacks as a primary means of damage) I don't feel like with his damage reliant on 5 seconds of a damage buff (Which if you want to actually do something in the game you will maybe break 300 AD with that buff) and a maybe you will get an ability with your W.

It seems fairly stacked against Nocturne currently because of his low damage and tankyness for jungling. Even if the only change was to Umbra blades cutting the CD in half that would make him more effective and probably more viable. It would give him enough damage and sustain faster to keep up with current meta junglers as well as being able to do more early.
