LoL patch 11.14 is set to release on Thursday, July 8, and could very likely have changes in store for Nocturne. With the current state of Nocturne, it’s likely the Riot will look to bring out the nerf hammer in one of the upcoming patches. Nocturne already has movement speed through his Duskbringer (Q) and crowd control through Unspeakable Horror (E) to stick to targets whenever he jumps in with Paranoia. Instead, Nocturne is utilizing the stats from the item and its extra damage. While this was a big hit to many bruisers, Nocturne was never relying on the dash. The Mythic item had its strong dash removed on patch 11.13. Nocturne was also one of the champs that weren’t really hit by the recent Stridebreaker nerf. Stridebreaker nerfs didn’t tone down Nocturne in LoL Secondly, a lot of bot and mid laners are immobile carries, which makes Nocturne able to assassinate targets even in the late game. First of all, the current meta is fast-paced and it’s rare that a game goes late. In the late game, Nocturne isn’t the best scaler but that usually won’t give him trouble. Pulling off these unexpected roams or ganks on Nocturne requires great vision control, but it will be rewarding. The same goes for the players who pick Nocturne for the jungle, except that he can pounce anywhere on the map without the opponents predicting it. With the ultimate, Nocturne can roam as a solo laner and help his jungler pull off strong ganks. When he gets his Paranoia (R), Nocturne starts to come online. His early-game power in lane will enable him to trade evenly against most champions and farm up until he is level 6. As an assassin, Nocturne wouldn’t perform well in a tank meta but now he is able to shine. In the current state of the game, the tanks aren’t dominating the meta which enables Nocturne heavily. This has to do with the way the meta is and all the new items added for season 11. Previously, Nocturne was only considered a jungler but now the assassin is just as strong as a solo laner. Nocturne and the current meta fit very well together, which makes up for one of the big reasons why he is performing so well. This puts Nocturne at a high ban rate as the strongest flex pick in the game.Įarly-game power and roams make Nocturne strong An obvious example is the Shen vs GP matchup GP has a 42 winrate against Shen according to u.gg (using it as a reference because OP used it as his source), but the matchup is probably the worst possible one for Shen which many pro players (you will often see GP utilized in pro play as a direct answer) and high elo Shen OTPs can confirm. It doesn’t only make Nocturne a feared pick in the jungle, but also as a solo laner. With a win rate of over 53% in three different roles, there’s no doubt that Nocturne is currently in an overpowered spot. He still has an effective clear in the jungle and can pull off unexpected ganks whenever he hits level 6. With a 53.45% win rate in the jungle, Nocturne is the absolute best pick to climb as a jungler according to the win rates. This is his original and most popular role. Nocturne can dish out a lot of damage right from the first levels, which shows with his 54.03% win rate in the mid lane.Īt last, Nocturne is also performing well in the jungle. His high damage output isn’t to be underestimated, especially not against squishy and immobile mages. It was sealed in the grave of their great-grandfather Fossian, who died during the fight versus Nocturne, before it was woken up by a mage boy named Luca.For the mid lane, Nocturne is also working very well as a scary assassin.Nocturne terrorized the Demacian settlement of Fossbarrow until Garen and Lux expelled it from the neighboring tomb.Dream Control: Nocturne can control the dreams of others.Shadow Form: Nocturne is composed of pure darkness that it can mold at will.Immortality: So long as nightmares exist, Nocturne will continue existing in some form.Nocturne instinctively knows ones nightmares. By absorbing the fears of others, Nocturne can sustain itself for prolonged periods of time. Emotional Feeding: Like other demons, Nocturne can feed itself from an specific emotion, in it's case, the fear that comes from nightmares.Each demon is linked to a specific emotion, in this case, Nocturne feeds itself on the fear that comes from nightmares. it has no physical form and cannot be harmed by physical weapons (unless it has magical properties).
