is Nocturne good?

A Loyal Support··2 votes·497 views

I've been considering getting nocturne tomorrow, and from my research, I've been getting mixed answers. some say that he's good, some say that he's terrible and he gets rekt easily, so i don't know. surely a pro can give their 2 cents? Also, should be be built full AD or AD but kinda tanky? Just want to know this stuff before spending my cash on someone who might be bad. made that mistake with kha'zix T_T

thanks, mates.

not really in this meta.

this meta crippled most assassins.

even if assassins were meta right now, he has minimal value if he doesn't get himself or lanes fed early.

He doesnt do horrible.

Bue he isnt in a good place either.

This stems from his whole ''jack of all trades'' thing. He is a bit of an assassin, a bit of a bruiser, a bit of a melee ADC. Overal it could not be that bad, like in Lee Sin or Vi, but Nocturne doesnt has the mobility those 2 have, neither the innate damage or sustain.

alright, when play noc i jungle... but he can top with a tear. if you do a standard build on him, he would be hydra,sunfire/cinderhulk/youmuus/locket/gauntlet/staticshiv,mercs. generally do a movement improve or aoe item on him... cd helps but only for lots of ults when you're actually effective in that game. buying top would be tear,avrice,vamp cept for mid game build. finish one of those, and work on sunfire or locket. FOR JUNGLE i would still say cinderhulk with challenge smite, or you go the armor pen/cd. get tiamat after tier 1. noc is an aoe aa bot after you do your abilities... so getting more aoe to clear waves or jungle faster is a major plus. use that to get a clear advantage then pick either damage or locket. always role flash. if you're top go tp or heal ( so when you ult in to a teammate you save them... also buy spirit visage if you roll heal with a lifesteal item or two)

Noc is good... just honestly he isn't hard to kite or chain cc like anyone, just he doesn't have a decent escape.

With cinderhulk nerfs and a buff to his fear damage. Yes he will be viable as of next patch.
