Nocturne Tank?

Nocturne, as I've seen, isn't a champion that is used much so I decided to play him and such and I tried different builds and what I found was amazing. A tank assassin nocturne. As a jungler, I start out with the Cinderhulk enhancement and move on to items like the item 3074 item 3071 item 3072 for attack and health/life steal. Having different opponents can change what defensive item I get, whether it be item 3083 item 3742 or item 3065 and ending with item 3812 item 3153 item 3006 for whatever reason you need them.

As a jungler I would say to go for gromp first and then blue buff, if your low health get scuttler for the life steal or wolves if you have high health and then scuttler. After that go wherever.

I'd recommend trying Devourer and Titanic Hydra into tank items.

He scales pretty well with attack speed. Wit's end might be a reasonable choice as well.

I get that Nocturne doesn't see a lot of play but can it really be considered balanced that he can build straight tank and still scale your face off? I get that "Tank" classified champions are supposed to have high damage so they can lane but his Per Level scaling is so high that he's left the jungle and tanking up the top lane now.

I personally think this is a huge issue. He's an assassin, he's not supposed to be able to fight 1v5 (cough, cough, old Khazix).

Further more, I realize that this kind of power is difficult to balance and Nocturne doesn't see a lot of play so he's flying low under the radar. Not trying to hate on the Noc fans but from a non-biased point of view, you have to admit Tank Noc is a bit much.
