Is he really that farm dependent or squishy? Spellshield neutralizes a moderate amount of damage (and potentially CC - I'd take noct spellshield over many other defensive abilities), and his steroids allow him to do respectable damage without building much in the way of offensive items. The only thing I'd consider really essential for his offensive prowess is a phage - and that's as much for the utility as the damage, because you get such a big window to fish for procs from Q+E.

It will cancel the ult, so you won't take any damage. It doesn't go on cooldown though, so once you come out of pool he'll dunk you again.

You only dunk twice.

Farm dependent: Nocturne needs wriggles. So your typical build is going to have wriggles, hog, aegis, and either phage or randuins. Compare this to other junglers, who do their jobs with just double gp5 + aegis. Nocturne needs to be built bruiser, since his main function is damage, instead of utility.

Squishy: When the class of junglers right now are skarner, maokai, mundo, and lee, (with the occasional malphite amumu olaf or shen) yes, noc is very squishy. You have no innate tankiness outside of W, and you have no escape mechanisms. You also can't build too defensively or you do less damage and utility compared to the guys mentioned above (again, your primary job is to dive carries).

Yeah your post-6 ganks are scary and you have nice steroid from Q, but nocturne just doesn't do well with the little farm that junglers get these days. You really need phage/wit's and several defensive items to be worth anything lategame, and even then it's debatable you'll actually do enough damage to carries to kill or zone them without instantly blowing up yourself.

Add in the fact that Nocturne is used to dive the enemy carries and now everyone plays blink champions, and he's even harder to justify. I don't think he's bad, especially solo queue, but teams right now are focused on having a more support-oriented jungler.

Nocturne's engaging is based around him doing damage and spellshield is a meh tank steriod for someone who's a: supposed to engage and b: supposed to build damage. At least if you're amumu or maokai or skarner if you get focused after your engage you probably weren't worth focusing since you used your ults and built pretty much full tank. Nocturne will maybe get his fear leash off and do some damage with it but it's not the same. He was mostly picked for his ult ganking and that got nerfed.

Lee isnt picked that much either and he has escapes and jumps and doesn't have to engage and still falls off because he's squishy.

I don't know why nocturne fell out of a favor in solo queue. Like, okay, let's assume that pro meta shifted in tanky support junglers. But I'm still not sure why no one plays him in solo. *shrug*

Don't think so. I mean, LoL events are on the sidebar sometimes (big stuff like S2 Finals), but afaik only DotA2/SC2 content is on the calendar.

Much easier to just copy/paste what pros do. Like sheep.

Honestly there are good reasons why champions like Nocturne or Kassadin fell off for pro player. There is no good reason why people in solo queue don't still spam those champions.

Considering how the tourney went, can you blame um? toyz pretty much made Orianna look like the most broken champion ever.


I still think Ori is fairly mediocre in solo queue. TF much more stronk in solo queue.
