Its not okay when im smack dab in the middle of my ENTIRE TEAM (all 4 others were surrounding me) and my Rakan uses knights vow and shields me, yet i still die in 0.13 seconds to the fcking Shiv+Duskblade nocturne.

Oh my god this is so broken I can't believe a squishy immobile adc with no defense got killed by an assassin building burst Riot what the hell.

They shouldn't be doing that when you're in the middle of the team and they do everything they're supposed to. That's when the assassin is supposed to fail because of teamwork

Right. But then it should be on the support or tank or the team that is at fault, not the assassin.

Yes, Duskblade is stupid right now. Regardless, Nocture is still supposed to kill adcs quickly - if he did that, then good for him. It would be Rakan's fault for not ccing him, the tanks fault for not ccing him, etc

You can't CC him during his ult, and he had a spellshield to block the first instances of it after that. I'm not saying Nocturne shouldn't be able to assassinate, or that he shouldn't be able to when 1v2. But 1v5, with the team actually doing their job trying to protect the carry? That's a problem with the amount of burst and the ease it's done with

Pretty sure you can CC him in his ult and he can't cast spell shield during the dash.

What I do is grab an edge of night and then ult. Forces teams to invest two forms of CC to stop you and usually they can't do it quick enough before you kill the ADC. Its kind of a dirty combo but it does require a rather large gold investment.

As Ralanr said, I think you can be cced during ultimate, and regardless, if a Nocture did ult into the middle of a team fight, he probably died right after killing the Jinx.

Nope:

Nocturne's dash and damage cannot be interrupted by crowd control but any effects he suffers during the dash will apply for their remaining duration (if any) after he hits his target.

Besides, that's not the point wether or not he does during it, no assassin should be able to just jump into the middle of the team, who shield and defend their carry, and do it that easily and quickly. It's not a matter of Nocturne, I couldn't care less what he does. It's a problem of lethality (namely Duskblade)

Ok, fair enough. And yes, like I mentioned, duskblade is stupid right now but he was still building squishy with no resistances, so yeah it's no surprise.

That was your teams fault bro. That's nocturne one and only job

ModWulf Helhammer1 votes

Yes, but they shouldn't be able to jump into the middle of the whole team (and yes, the team is doing what they are supposed to) and still burst that quickly

Translation: OH MY GOD AN ASSASSIN CAN KILL ME FAST. THAT'S NOT FAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO ARMOR OR HP BUILT.

This is the issue.

Everyone goes crazy when the assassin is able to make things happen. But they also can't tolerate the assassin being successful when the dumb squishy champions fuck up hard. And so we're left in a place where playing an assassin legitimitely feels like walking on eggshells. You need to play it JUST right to get the kill. Pick the perfect moment when there is just enough distance between the squishy and their team. Meanwhile ADC's can just shoot an auto attack to deal more damage than the highest damage skills in the game. With a regular draven build I hit 2200 damage on my auto attacks. TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED.

But it's not like mages are worse off. Although they're bet amount of AP has dropped, they always get 40-45% cdr and have a ton of utility added in. Lots of damage and AP benefited AP assassins, utility, tankiness, and cdr is making the mages shine pretty hard.

And yet if an assassin catches you in your team and nukes you it's a horrible problem. Let's be real now, how are assassins supposed to get through an ADC's core items, GA, maw of malmort, mercurial scimitar, bloodthirster, death's dance, phantom dancer, let alone the 20 million ways their support can now give them armor, health, damage, and resists?

And yet, when somehow the assassin gets through all this it's a problem with the assassin? Wtf?

1 item and 1 spell should completely and utterly cancel out an entire class of champions. Sounds like something an ADC main would say.

Working as intended

My gosh can't even remember the last time I've seen a Nocturne.

Mizaya2 votes

That's nothing, If the Nocturne played it right and built right he could have taken a huge chunk out of your team too while killing you.

The problem is not is not in shiv. I was getting 1shotted by Noc too who went full lethality. It's basically the old Rengar reincarnated.

I mean, Nocturne was always capable of one shotting idk where everyone has been.

That you think a squishy champion who does that on a 180-100 second cooldown is broken is what I'm most concerned about.

I want armor penetration back. it was so much better and easier to balance :C

just blame the support like everyone else [zombie-nunu-bummed]

The old Duskblade was arguably doing more damage than the current Duskblade because the proc used to deal true damage before it was changed to straight physical damage (which can be partially negated by building armor). However, lethality now scales with the user's level instead of the target's level. This is why you're getting 1-shot by assassins as an ADC (along with the fact that ADCs usually don't have very much base armor anyway). The item is working as it's supposed to be - it's math. Long story short: lethality items are now better against squishy, lower level targets and worse against tanky targets.

Yeah, they all say they're (level) 18 before they get fucked by a full lethality [Insert champion name here]. Dirty sluts.

Its All Skillzz1 votes

yep duskblade is fucking stupid, and anyone saying the proc used to do more cause true damage, it did damage based on how much lethallity you had. so it was alot less. now it just does damage scaling with lvl up to 360 at lvl 18. the fact it disables vision already makes it insanely powerful. when the enemy has 2-3 of them you can put vision anywhere.
