Playing against Nocturne
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
When the screen goes dark (R), group up immediately: Nocturne is looking for the isolated carry.
2
His W only blocks one ability: bait it with a small spell before throwing your main CC.
3
Nocturne is an assassin who scales with attack speed — hard CC stops him dead while he's auto-attacking.
4
Deep ward in your jungle: his R range is limited, and vision helps you spot him before he arrives.
