Nocuturne, maybe a VGU Update soon?

Leyin··3 votes·433 views

Nocturne is a champ that need everything. A new lore, a visual update and a gameplay update.

First lore: Nocturne is a nightmare but where he beyond? Void or shadow isles? Now Nocutrne is just a ghost without really deep background, a nightmare that gets bound to the nexus and gos his own way their. They are still summoners in the lore. I think giving a spot in the void or the shadow isles based on other designs would make him more interessting. Same with his gameplay kit: His ult is very nice, but the others spells are in a very bad condition. His passiv is just an ampowered auto-attack + heal (example fiora passiv) , his q just makes him stronger chasing enemy over long time ( is that an assain? chasing over long time? .... like W but needs hit a skill shot on low range), his W is a spell shield like sivir but the reward of attack speed is not worth for the long channel time. His E is a fear casted on 1 enemy , WW is able to terrify all enemies around him without cast time and gives him dmg resitance. And finally to his Visual, Nocturne is not a nightmare ( based on lore, maybe just a nightmare for all visual designers) he is a old ghost that likes chasing enemies but isn'T able to ouplay them, because his kit just allow him direct 1 vs 1 without a good burst.

Nocturne is essentially a demon of nightmares and would not fit into the Void or the Shadow Isles. Instead, he has no specific home and just wonders Runeterra (though we know Lux encountered him in Demacia). However, I'm pretty sure Riot does want to rework him eventually; though it won't be anytime soon cause Urgot is the next VGU and then Evelynn is after that.

i think Nocturne is not even a tier 1 rework champion so we will have to wait a long time, unless if im wrong

remember, Riot said that Tier 1 is no 100% chance for a rework, just they need work, but when they don't find any ideas a tier 2 can be reworked as well ( WW and Galio were both Tier 2 and Urgot Tier 1)

I don't think that WW and Galio were Tier2s,they were both Tier1,but not all Tier1-candidates are equal. Urgot was merely at the top of the Tier1-list,wheras WW and Galio were further down.

After all there are a LOT of Tier1-champs with at least 15 confirmed Tier1-candidates: Akali Chogath DrMundo Fiddlesticks Irelia Kayle&Morgana Mordekaiser Nunu Pantheon Rammus Shaco Swain Volibear XinZhao

So I see it as rather unlikely for Riot to not find a satisfying direction for any of them.

ok now lets think what could be true aswell: akali: they know their probs but haven'T any ideas yet. Cho is actually strong guess will take sometime beofer e gets reworked, Mundo possible , Fiddle very possible , irelia kit works fine just the kit doesn't fit to her lore. Kayle possible. So........ I think you are right Nocturne is a champ that has problems but these need it to give them a good play style

but look at Galio, his Lore changed massiv, so why not with nocturne as well? WWs lore is the same only more detailed and based on the new story telling of Riot

Except they used Nocturne in a story with Lux and Garen during the Demacia update, and it didn't seem like his lore was changing much. As for Warwick, his lore changed completely.

Sure WWs Lore changed but the spirit of a Werewolf is the same not like Galio for example, there was a much bigger change. I only wondered that we hear nothing about nocutrne neither in assasin roster.

Nocturne doesn't seem to be among the top candidates for a VGU. https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/yghB24Gs-now-urgot-and-eve-will-get-their-long-awaited-vgus-can-we-have-more-info-about-other-candidates?comment=0004

Though we should keep in mind that these are only the top candidates,Nocturne might be among the Tier2-candidates for a VGU(and the Tier2-ones have a small chance to get their VGU before a Tier1-champ) and the list is already quite old,it is possible that some champs were added to it over time(Fiddle for example was confirmed to be now a Tier1-candidate)

Nuuuuuu Rito please dont touch my Nocturne, he's the one jungler i can still enjoy playing each season

Leyin1 votes

Do you feel comfortable with him? I think Nocs idea is great, I like his ult, but the other spells are very basic without outplay , just a good 1 vs 1 . Well Im not a Nocturne main, so.

Nocturne does get a brief mention in For Demacia, though not by name. (it was confirmed to be Nocturne in an outside post)
