@Berryeater What about his skill set and passive makes him a late-game hypercarry? He was built to be an assassin, and he does that well at low elo, but unless you are playing against bad players as a good one (e.g. gold vs bronze), there's little for him to take out more than possibly one person in a teamfight, unless he is only doing clean up work that even a damage oriented (zyra, Orianna, MF) could do.

So it is hard for the rest of us to understand when you call him outside of something he is capable of in good play. A Lategame hypercarry should be able to decimate 2-3 people before maybe going down if they got too aggressive. With his spell shield being his only defense and his necessity to be in melee range for most of his damage, that is not feasible for Noc on a regular basis, which is why you don't see him often in high level competitive play.
