Nocturne's ult should mini-fear all enemy champions immediately around his target.

Because he jump scares them.

All the lights go out, a horrible voice whispers "Darkness..." and then a monster from your worst nightmares comes barreling out of the shadows.

You would shit your pants and run away. I dont care how much Demacia you have, no one can have that happen without wanting to find cover.

It would be thematic, awesome, and a nice little buff for a jungler who badly needs something going for him.

Rito pls.

Ive suggested this like two years ago.

Also- I highly suggested that if he doesnt use the dash on the ult, only the darkness for utility, the CD is halved.

And for the giggles, if he fears a target, he should get bonus lifesteal OR the more enemy champs his passive hits, the more lifesteal he gets (like 4 per champion, so 5 champs = 20% lifesteal)

Nocturne has a very old kit that needs some work on. I've mained with Noc into Diamond 4 Season 5.

His passive is garbage. His early clear is pathetic. His laning phase is...actually pretty good. The fact that Rengar can see everyone in his ult, and Noc The Lord of Darkness cannot, makes no sense. His Fear is Fantastic. His W as well.

What Noc really needs is a better passive and an escape.

Nocturne DAAAAAARKNESSS- Garen DEMACIAAAAA! Gets feared

This would fit thematicly, but wouldnt be a good idea.

I mean, he is already unstoppable during his ult... and a fed nocturne could simply jump on a target he chosses and rip it apart while the enemy team cant position around him to protect him. It wouldn't fit in his kit simply and would be a wrong way to buff an assassin.

The job of an assassin is to pick out targets at the right moment and kill them fast, but this way noc could just jump in when he wants no matter if the complete enemy team is around the enemy carry

Um, I don't think he needs a buff, and if he does, then definitely not in the form of his ult. His ult is the most useful (and arguably broken) part of his kit as it stands. Nocturne has a happy little balanced 50.6% win rate, and basically all his ult does at the moment is destroy anyone playing solo. His dash is borderline ridiculous to start. If Nocturne needs a buff, then I'd suggest making his Q not show up through the fog of war. Realistic or not, this buff will not balance him.

I'd say all enemies period, including minions.

Great idea though

So you want him to have a double fear mechanic?

Noc is very strong right now, I dont think he needs any changes.

Nocturne really doesn't look that scary- I mean look at the guy- he's just a dark dude with no legs and razors or his arms. Strange? Sure Unusual? Sure Deadly? I'd back away But if he's supposed to be some monster than scares people just by looking at him- he falls woefully short of the goal.

How about we not touch Nocturne at all hes in a really solid spot right now and if Riot nerfs/buffs him its gonna ruin him.

StrayXL5/21/2016, 6:16:57 PM2 votes

As a guy who likes to play Nocturne, i feel this would just allow him to dive anyone he wants and with no repercussions or counter-play, he will pretty much become a semi-Global Rengar and you know how people love themselves some Rengar jumpscares Rengar Look at that face it's the face of i'm coming for that booty and you can't stop me

If the ultimate will fear all the enemy champion it will be like a leona ult, just no . There are so much champions in league of legends that are so strong to have no fear of the enemy: Darius, Garen and even more Illaoi ( she fought against the Shadow Island a lot of time and she has no fear, also Nagakabouros ) .

that would be broken lol

KitsuneTrickster5/21/2016, 5:28:42 PM1 votes

it already mini fears everyone, when you hear his ult, you freak out if you arent ahead or if you are in a horrible position, the stress ruins players mindsets as is

PhDs Nuts5/20/2016, 10:57:02 PM1 votes

Sort of counterproductive with his passive, isn't it? AoE damage that he can't use when everyone is feared out of range.

And he doesn't need a buff, he's already in a good spot.

I would kill for a mana refund for his w if he blocks a skill or have no cost. Blocking a skill is sick but not when you can go oom quite easily or if you are already oom to begin with.
