Riot needs to decide whether or not Nocturne is an assassin or a diving fighter, because right now he's somewhere in between.

He can burst down squishy champs like an assassin can, but he doesn't have an escape like almost every other assassin does, and building him full damage is often not a viable strategy. On the other hand his kit doesn't really reward him for building like a diver/bruiser.

I feel like he should be more of an assassin, thematically speaking. Whatever changes they eventually make, I just hope they don't replace his ult. His current ult is probably my favorite spell in the whole game, and it's the primary reason he's my second favorite champ.
