Anyone wanna tell me what I'm probably doing wrong in teamfights as nocturne? I have a pretty good early game usually (unless something bad happens) but I mean I generally go something decent like 2/1/2 or like 1/1/4 or sometimes something nuts like 4/0/3 or whatever, but anyway, I find later on after laning is over even though I have like the red smite sword with warrior, and ghostblade, and like DMP or something I still get blown up before I can kill the adc in teamfights most times. Should I like wait way late until the peelers go do something else? I usually try to turn my ult on as soon as they engage because I want to get max value from the vision loss but I find that if I go in like immediately I just get blown up by eating everyone's cc before I can kill the adc or whatever. It's funny because I used to play adc and even as like Caitlyn I would just insta die to nocturne every fight so I can't figure out what they were doing that I"m not. Maybe I wasn't sticking close enough to my team or whatever. I'll upload some replays and maybe people can critique or something, but like in general what should Nocturne be doing during teamfights? Should I just hang around the front line to peel for a bit and then only try to ult on the backline when people start getting scattered?

Was wondering if anyone has tried this build yet, and if so, what are your thoughts on it. With 8 stacks of rageblade and W up you have 5.00 attack speed, and one time I killed Lux while she was casting her ult from 100% to 0. The only downside is it's a bit slow to get going, but once you have rageblade + hurricane it really kicks in.

Nocts ultimate is great for initiation but your offensive items should pretty much stop after ghostblade. If you have someone else who is better at tanky initiation you are free to build damage and save your ultimate for picking people off or cleaning up. Also make sure you're spell shielding the right poo poo.

Ive been doing a ton of research and lulu top is a great pick,I'm wondering this since bronze players are bad is lulu a good pick 4 solo queue in bronze because u must rely on others on your team to do most of the damage? What is lulu dps with rageblade like?

Mystery Prize posted:So Udyr with the new AP jungler item is actually kind of good. It gives him crazy fast clear speed and the movespeed means he's basically impossible to run away from unless you can chain ranged CC on him. I might have to try this since I like Udyr but am so so terrible at farming enough early to get sated.

This just in: don't build Runic Echoes on Udyr it's dumb and bad. Instead, be good and have two Udyr pages (yes that's right) so you can decide which build path to take. Tiger Udyr (Warrior Enchant) + Incredibly strong dueling potential all levels + High physical damage is front-loaded into an AA buff which can be applied in any stance (as long as the Tiger Attack buff is still up) + Can tag enemies with Tiger Attack to apply damage and back off - First clear is slightly slower than Phoenix Udyr (by ~8 seconds) - Pure physical damage dealer, which isn't always good in the League of Attack Damage meta Phoenix Udyr (Devourer Enchant) + Very strong clear speed that only gets even faster (Pro Tip: Phoenix Udyr can do Small Camp-Buff Camp-Small Camp-Buff Camp by the time most junglers go Small Buff Small) + Mixed damage (favors magic), which is favored in the meta + Strong wave-clear and high-sustained damage make him a strong split-pusher - Dueling potential is typically lower than Tiger, and typically more situational (ie. who you are dueling) - Damage output is tied to multiple auto attacks, making Phoenix Udyr more susceptible to strong kite comps The ~SUPER SECRET TECH~ for Udyr is 10% CDR from runes (blues and one quint). Why? Because you want to hit 40% ASAP to maximize stance up-times. Additionally, the early impact of 10% CDR (and 20% with blue) it's extremely noticeable: you can use just one stance button to clear camps without dropping your passive (this makes clears safe and easy and less reliant on Turtle Stance for sustain). 12/0/18 are the masteries you probably want to run if you plan on ganking early and/or countering (which you want to do, you are Udyr), although 0/12/18 is also fine. Max Bear Stance second. That's right, second. Turtle Stance is your Trap Stance early. One point is fine for early clears and/or aggressive Dragon/Baron (or baby Baron), but beyond that it's not worth the whopping 40 shield value and 2% life steal per rank. Bear on the other hand gives 5% move speed and .25s buff duration per rank which is what makes you crazy fast (25% and + 1.25s duration over 5 levels). The new jungle items gives you nothing you want but movespeed, but just by leveling your poo poo properly you get the crazy movespeed anyways AND you can even have good stats on your jungle item!

Stefan Prodan posted:Anyone wanna tell me what I'm probably doing wrong in teamfights as nocturne? First a checklist: Are you using shield correctly when going in? Are you landing your Q on the ADC, and preferably the fear as well? Are you running Thunderlords? When I'm on Nocturne and we're having proper 5v5 teamfights, I like to wait for people to commit to the fight and then jump on the carry (preferably from out of vision). Sometimes diving a well-protected ADC can be the correct thing to do, for instance: You've built full damage and they have no shields or heals so you have a chance to instantly burst them regardless of their help, or you feel like your team will win the other half of the fight that isn't you vs the backline in which case you can die to keep them busy for a while. Don't think of your ult as utility if that is costing you opportunities to kill carries. Nocturne is in a good place with item builds that he can go a lot of different ways and understanding how much damage to build and when versus getting tanky is always going to depend on the situation. I would also recommend just not picking him into very strong peel, or ADCs that can self-peel, or god forbid both because you won't have as good a time and a different champion could perform better. You're picking him to either kill the back line or zone them. Ideally you don't teamfight at all and get to spend all game picking off stupid ADCs splitpushing bot forever

I am pretty sure if Lee shows up at Kog's red and autos him without moving or hitting a skill shot he'll just kill him 100% of the time.

Killed By Death posted:Assuming you mean runes: what do you have on those pages, exactly? The pages are similar save the reds. For both, use:
Tiger Stance - Flat AD Marks (and Quints, if you aren't using move speed). Udyr's Q is fortunate enough to come with a great attack speed steroid, so supplement that with flat AD (to accompany Q's also very strong AD ratios Q (15% on hit always + 60-80% active total AD). Phoenix Stance - Attack Speed Marks. The usefulness of Phoenix Stance in the jungle is gated entirely on how fast Udyr can punch things three times, and attack speed helps him do that (ideally you get the initial activation wave + one punch wave before activating another stance, or just reactivating this one).

It does completely insane amounts of damage but you don't have a laning phase and you better hope your entire team comp is built around protecting you. Nashor's tooth or Wit's end are also probably better than the phantom dancer in that build.

Sometimes your back just breaks when people can't be carried, featuring me Sated by 11 minutes and a Lucian who got a double kill at level 2 and then couldn't win his lane afterwards (some people can't handle all that pressure!). To be fair though our Orianna was pretty awful and I out-damaged my whole team by plenty on my quest to kill everyone and everything and help my team be rad and win. Sadly, we didn't win, because our Lucian refused to participate in team fights because I was a "poo poo jungler who can't gank" (dropped that gem when I was 4-0-3 having killed mid, top, jungler, and roaming support, and of course after he died in lane for the however-many-ieth time after getting free money). Remember kids, when you lose the game, it always the jungler's fault.

This game was a lesson in how not to build end-game Lux and I apologize: I think there are two obvious mistakes with this build, can you spot them? My take: Athene's should have been Morellonomicon against all those tanks, and Zhonya's probably should have gotten swapped for LIandry's.

Uh, if anyone was wondering about really terrible and bad ideas Shen's 3 hit thingy gains the effects from both Rylai's and Liandry's. I think the extra AP worked out to be roughly 2-3% extra hp per hit and the shield got another 280 on that, plus the 700 health. I mean it's probably a terrible idea even if that also gives you mpen for your sunfire and from you can just hulk out with a warmogs and lucy's and your choice of something useful or just going full clownshoes with the windu's end.. I mean, it's probably and definitely a really terrible build but nonetheless I guarantee it will work and is really good
