Anyone think Nocturne should be reworked into more of an assassin?

Maybe he's not allowed to be an assassin because he can pick someone off from such a massive range but I will never understand why he is a bruiser. He is a crazy evil nightmare creature who creates darkness all around before diving on an unsuspecting victim... and then auto-attacks them for a few seconds until they die. To me that doesn't fulfill his fantasy at all :/

I really want to like Nocturne, his concept is really cool and Paranoia is one of the scariest abilities in the game. But his entire kit being focused around AAing better is really, really dull and honestly is the main reason he's never picked these days. There are better bruisers, not so many assassin junglers.

That's the trade off you need to make to be a jg. You can have higher damage OR the durability to clear.

...I wouldn't know if that'd be good or not. I think if we kept him mostly intact, he'd be too similar to Akali. Maybe just make a different nightmare champion.

I have no issue with Noct as he is as you still basicly assassinate carries and then turn to rekt the support and tanks.

He can't kill anyone that has dash+heal+flash+support with cc. That's why it's better to play him offtank/ganker. Midlaners like Zed and LB have multiple gapclosers to try assasinating carries (+ better burst compared to the sustained dmg of Nocturne)
