The thing with Nocturne is that he already can exert map pressure through his ultimate after he gets more than one level in it. It also has a much shorter CD at all levels. So teleport is what we refer to in MtG as a "win-more" strategy. If you're in a winning position, it lets you win harder. But it doesn't necessarily help you in other cases. There are few cases where you would want to use Teleport when your ultimate would also suffice. And if you're in a case where you're bot lane pushing and your team is a Baron, how do you fit in your ultimate into a fight? Teleport to a ward, ult and then fight? It seems a bit of a waste even if it works. That's not to say that Teleport on top-lane Nocturne is bad. It's just that there's no particular reason it works better on Nocturne than on a different champion such as Udyr, Cho'Gath, Nidalee or Trundle (which seem to be the preferred Tele/Flash choices for HSGG). | ||

Guy's documenting all criticism and mistakes so he can fix it. Real professional attitude, I approve. | ||

By taking teleport, you're giving up a lot of lane control because if the other champion in lane takes an offensive summoner spell (e.g. Ignite) then they have much more kill potential so you can't play as aggressively. That include match-ups you might normally win. For a champion such as Irelia, she has a lot of innate sustain (especially with a Wriggles build) so the risk of death isn't as high as a champion without innate sustain. So for her, the loss on lane control doesn't hinder her as much as, say, Rumble pre-hextech. But by giving up Ignite, you open up pressure over the map, especially once the laning phase is over. I'm sure we're all familiar with the HSGG Cho splitpush a lane strategy by now. By having teleport you can exert that sort of pressure while also exerting pressure over objectives such as Baron. Played right, you can guarantee yourself at least one of those two objectives, or multiple kills as a trade. The thing with Nocturne is that he already can exert map pressure through his ultimate after he gets more than one level in it. It also has a much shorter CD at all levels.

It's just that there's no particular reason it works better on Nocturne than on a different champion such as Udyr, Cho'Gath, Nidalee or Trundle (which seem to be the preferred Tele/Flash choices for HSGG). The thing about having both though is it allows you to have a ton of presence on the map and not lose experience/gold from your lane. For example say you use your passive and Q to clear a wave real quick, you could then go gank mid and be back before the next wave arrives. I think I'd rather have Ignite though, because that makes your killing potential so much greater. | ||

I mean I guess you could pull>ult>rocketpunch>boost and run negating the in lane swap, but if it's an initiate or to put you under tower it is still mission accomplished. also it's a targeted spell if I'm not mistaken, you'd have to be an idiot to initiate on a guy that has AoE silence with a spell like that. (team fight scenario). At best you can threaten his approach with hands, but he will choose somebody else. | ||

I assume you mean Press R, teleport to a location, arrive at location and then use second part of R? Then yes, that would work. You cannot case spells during the teleport animation though since that would cancel the teleport. It's still also a bit of a waste of teleport imo since you might as well just be pushing a lane close enough to R directly into, say, the Baron Pit and still have an Ignite or Exhaust ready to use.

I think I'd rather have Ignite though, because that makes your killing potential so much greater. True, but then the same could be said for any ganking champion. You could say Sion should take Teleport so he can push mid, gank a lane and then teleport back. But again, it's a question of whether it's worth trading off ignite for the teleport. On March 19 2012 04:20 JackDino wrote: So apparently blitz grab doesnt break urgot ult channeling, makes his ult almost worthless though. Does it not? Iirc, Blitz grab should apply a ministun on contact before the location modifier so theoretically it would break the channel. Urgot will still recieve the full MRes/Armour boost even if his ult is cancelled though. | ||

You get swapped to urgot's final location, not where he stood when starting the channel. | ||

He's probably the second or third best AD carry in NA. Behind only Chaox and maybe Cop. I think that with how good he is at LoL it sort of speaks to how much of a huge troll he is that they're considering kicking him off the team. Especially since pretty much anyone they get to replace him won't be as good as him. At least not at first. | ||

What can I do to prevent it. Yeah, I had this problem too, my wrists were starting to get sore as well. 1) You can click less, I found I made a lot of extraneous clicks (clicking 10 times to move to one location, diablo style mashing to auto attack, ect.). 2) You can use "a" and left-click to last hit. 3) You get somewhat used to it after a while. | ||
