I mean he is an Assassin that clearly isn't on the best Spot and could use some love. His Kit is linear and the really unique Ability is his Ultimate ( and maybe his Fear ) that fits into his whole " Nightmare " Theme. Still he is one of my favorite Champions and im really curious what is gonna happen to him.

We feel Nocturne's a diving fighter, rather than an assassin. Those two groups have some strong similarities, with both aiming to get onto and explode a valuable squishy target. Assassins are burstier, with primarily ability based damage, generally a lack of CC and usually some need to flank to get onto the target they want. Divers have slower damage, a bit of tankiness, generally rely a lot on their auto attacks, bring a moderate amount of CC and can often go straight into a team fight. Nocturne's got a theme that's pretty assassin like, his gameplay puts him solidly into the diver category though.
