r/nocturnemains

So I just switched from being a top laner to a jungler and wanted to main nocturne kayn and Diana (3 champ pool).

Could anyone give me the breakdown of which runes to take on Nocturne and when, out of the hail of blades, lethal tempo and conqueror and also the build path following said runes.

Been playing league for 8 years and hard stuck gold so decided to make the switch as I got tired from the significantly difficult climb in top lane and want to climb to emerald+ now !!

Thanks

Basically the title. I always use red trinket in jungle but I know that blue trinket is a must on nocturne. When do you guys swap from red to blue ?

Quite new to nocturne and the game in general(silver). I don’t have a good understanding of nocturnes ult range, and was wondering how you guys know you are in range to attack? It does not have a range indicator like swain, which i feel would be logical. Thanks!

I like Nocturne in general, as it is a champion with a lot of presence in the game due to his ultimate, and he can handle 1v1s most of the times. And so naturally, I tried playing him in the toplane and I'm really enjoying the idea so far.

Any advice on what items I should focus on, and how should I change the rune page in order to play Nocturne on the Top lane viably?
How should I adapt my item build according to each situation?

Also, do you have any suggestions on how the lane phase should be played?

I tend to do that in order to clear a bit faster. It seems easier and much quicker to me. Then i build hexplate. Does this delay significantly my first item spike or is it good? What do you think?

NA Gold 1. I build Hexplate and tier 1 boots, then stridebreaker. My third item is now almost always Mortal Reminder. Along with that I also upgrade into defensive boots. Then I build at least one additional items with both AD and criticality such as shieldbow, follows by other AD/crit items.

Recent win rate is 56%.

I just hit diamond 4 for the first time ever, been playing almost only nocturne and have a 80+% win rate on my past 15-20 games.

Is it normal to have these types of "boosts" in win rate after reaching a certain point of understanding, and jumping through some elo brackets?

Reading the item at base it seems like a pretty good item for Noc, has a lot of what he wants in terms of ult haste and AS.

I've tested it with LT and it SEEMS to slay pretty hard, especially with the crit changes from a few patches back.

I've only played two games with it but both had really good damage and elims, anyone else tried it out?

Something has possessed me to hit reinstall. Need to know if my anti-assassin insta lock-in is still the gem it was.
