Ideas for Nocturne

I love playing Nocturne, but whatever he brings to the table, he's outclassed. He's supposed to induce fear into his opponents but he currently fails to do so.

What if when he ults and dashes to an enemy, the other four enemies see a Nocturne clone dashing from the fog of war right at them? After the dash is complete (and maybe an auto attack) the clones will disappear? This will give the opposing team the feeling that none of them are safe, essentially inducing paranoia.

Another idea I had was when he casts Unspeakable Horror, as the channel is completing the target slowly loses vision. Once the channel is complete, the target loses vision for the duration of the fear.

What are your thoughts? I would like to see Nocturne in more of my games.

I think your idea for his ult would muddy game clarity too much if added, but having the enemy lose vision while feared is a really cool idea. It would be a moderate buff to Nocturne since he could do things like fear someone and when their vision came back they'd suddenly be surrounded by the whole enemy or other similar ambushes that having a second to visually register can often determine surviving or dying.

The ult change would instill a bit of actual paranoia, but in general, I feel like being revealed, losing all vision, and knowing you're at low HP is enough to scare the crap out of me, and having a random clone appear and look like it was about to murder me for 2 seconds would mostly make it an annoying guessing game and take away the terror from when the mark actually does show up under my feet for real.
