As a Nocturne main, I have spoken about this at length before, but I want to reiterate here that Nocturne is NOT, at any point in the game, a bruiser. Nocturne is first and foremost an autoattacker, with almost all of his damage, save for his Q and passive, dealing damage to single targets. His kit also does not reward him for building defensively, because his Q and ult scale with bonus ad, while his sustain on his passive scales poorly with AP, which Nocturne doesn't build anyways. You can't just say he belongs to the same class of champs as someone like Renekton or Xin, who thrive in teamfights because they have the tools to do so. Nocturne shouldn't be in teamfights in the first place, he's purely for getting timely picks. If you find yourself building defensive items on Nocturne, then you should have picked an actual bruiser jungler in the first place.
