Why?

  1. To prove that Nocturne top is viable.
  2. To say "i played Nocturne top Before it was cool" once it becomes FOTM.
  3. Because Nocturne is fun.
  4. Because i can.



Took our wraiths level 1. Against Teemo i always pushed heavily and backed/roamed often. Teemo only died once this game, which sort-of proves my point. Because of Nocturne's incredibly horrible early game mana i had to back often, but even if i backed often i kept ahead of him in cs by atleast 10 from level 3. My pushing to his turret level 2 made him loose a couple of cs.

Conclusion: Nocturne has no loosing matchups toplane. Literally the best of Teemo's who go for Doran's Blade and Wriggle's Lantern wont stand up to par with you. Although i haven't really played against Akali yet, i believe she would be Nocturne's nemesis for sure.

PLAYER conclusions




Took wraiths level 1. Darius is one of the harder matchups for Nocturne but still i managed to play it off pretty well. Level 5 i got killed by a Xin Zhao gank(he came from our red) but i managed to kill Darius at level 7. I started to build a consisted farm lead on Darius by around 20. I got a few kills on their midlaner with Nocturne's amazing roaming capability, which made Anivia(only legit player on my team it seemed) win midlane.

The enemy team catched up however and since we had a useless first time Vi, and botlane was very behind it was basically 2+3x0.5 v 5. After a while Anivia gave up and hindered us two kills with troll walls, but i ain't even mad. It was 100% lost anyways.

Conclusion: Lamest game so far. Don't pick champions you haven't played before simply because they are "op". Proves again that Nocturne has no loosing toplane matchups.

PLAYER conclusions




Jungle game. Started red from blue side because i wanted to countergank top early. At 3:00 i took Elise's flash, but their jungler didn't show himself top for some reason. If he did, it would have definetaly turned out for a kill for either me or smurf Tryndamere. After that i basically helped mid until Nidalee hit level 6. As soon as she did i ganked botlane 24/7 with ultimate, which often resulted in kills.

Lategame was relatively even for both teams except for toplane. Smurf Tryndamere(he has 200 games played as Tryndamere on THIS account) was the deciding factor since he permanetaly splitpushed while we held the rest of them on other lanes.

Conclusion: Better nerf smurfs. Nocturne jungle is **** but sort-of viable.

So every lane that goes well proves Nocturne has no losing matchups? Even some of the strongest picks have counters, it's not like him losing to someone 9/10 times would immediately not make him viable :P

gl though ^^

Thanks to MissMaw for the signature!

I wanted to try Nocturne mid. I feel like my poor laning mechanics would get me demolished with him at top :/
