Personally, it's my opinion you shouldn't still be playing with your screen locked on only your champion after you get any good at the game, especially as Nocturne. You can always hit space when it's unlocked to snap back to yourself, and keep map awareness through wards or viewing other allied champion's sight ranges.

At max, his ult has quite a large range, and should not be deemed as "not far enough." If you intend to be jumping into a fight, ganking, cleaning up kills, or whatever you intend to use your ult for, you should already be moving towards your target. Using Teleport or Ghost will help with map mobility, but Teleport is predictable as they see you coming. Spells like Flash, Exhaust, and Ignite are great on this champion, and Smite is a must have for jungling as him.

Everyone has talked about how well that AS and AD works on him, and I agree, but also pay close attention to CDR. With max (40%) CDR, you can use your ult (at its level 3 or your level 16) every minute. Rather useful if you build high AD/AS, as you can leap to enemies, burst them down with how often you strike and the damage dealt, and in another 60 seconds jump to another champion and do the same. Also, use his Shroud of Darkness often as it will protect you from any ability and make your attack speed up to 80% boosted instead of 40%.

(This is an old post I'm even bothering to respond to, but by now if your opinions are still the same I'd hope reading this comment can help open your minds to more possible ways of playing. Camera Unlock can help when playing as more champions than simply Nocturne)
