So I was just in a game. got flamed for going AD/lethality nocturne cause "i was useless in teamfights" even though I would 1 shot two or three people every time (on an all AD team may I add. but everyone had a main souce of armor pen Nasus Lucian Gangplank Illaoi Nocturne ) I was flamed for like 10 minutes for not going attack speed (went and got item 3091 as they had one shotting AP this I got before the flaming) even though I have a 40/80% attack speed bonus and wits end with a base of 1.5 attacks a second without my doubled AS passive though last time I did AS nocturne when he was free I would go 1/12/something. AD lethality I have done 6/0/1 21/10/4 7/5/15 (would like to point out I feel I have a tendency to get Kalista or Katarina on the enemy team. both of which I am not TOO good against and limit my kill potential but still did ok) as AD lethality nocturne AD lethality has a lot of perks for nocturne. item 3814 helps with initiating item 3142 helps with chasing or landing fear item 3147...well his ult. that and your going AD lethality. so your ult does a ton of damage and lets you come in with some true damage item 1412 lets you duel easily, and if they try to CC you then you just go on them with high attack speed and if your full on the lethality/warriors then your attacking with high attack speed and 500 AD Now if you look me up lets get this outa the way...my winrate is horrible cause I'm getting stuff like Kindred/Corki top picking KogMaw then the enemy goes Kalista Alistar Ahri support, illaoi support (which I have been running into a lot for some reason...) 1/8 laners and all that...Though anything with RekSai that was probably me or a Ryze Caitlyn Morgana Nunu now after spending who knows how long defending my 35% win rate from others (one death my laner has 5 kills all that...) the main question. AD or AS? I haven't done good in an AS nocturne game but when I went AD (after a month or so after never playing nocturne) I was doing pretty good. one thing I didn't get when I was getting flamed is why AS would make me better in teamfights then AD when I can just do a ton of damage with my ability's his ult also has a good AD scaling of 120%. so you can just walk around with a 900 damage ult to play a little magic trick on the ADC or support.

I like going attack speed and then full ad with some CDR in there, but the thing is, he kinda got moved to being an assassin from a diver somewhat recently. Also note, teams won't always understand your build. teamfighting with nocturne is fine, you just can't solo-engage (at least with this kind of build), or you just instantly die. If you want to be useful as nocturne in teamfights, go in after it starts so they are distracted with your team, and then pick off someone like an ADC and flank them with your ultimate.
