Visual and Gameplay Updates have become a significant part of League’s champion roadmap, as they consistently restore older champions to a more modern standard. Champions like Warwick, Udyr and Swain have benefitted massively from these reworks, and they’re a big help for the game’s longevity.
Nocturne highlighted as champion most in need of VGU rework
Nocturne has been in a strange spot for a while. The Fiddlesticks rework, widely considered to be one of the best in the game’s history, took all of his spooky paranoia themes and power fantasies and started doing them much better, meaning there isn’t much space for him in the roster.
Additionally, he’s got one of the clunkier designs in the game, with jerky, violent animations that don’t really match the “demon of nightmares” that he’s meant to invoke.
Nocturne has been featured on several of the VGU rework polls over the years, but he’s always missed out on the top spot. But now,players on the LoL subredditare saying it’s his turn.
One player posted: “Now that Shyvana is out of the way… or well, on her way, we should talk about the other champion that lost all VGU polls: Nocturne.
Many players agreed, saying that many of his abilities didn’t feel satisfying to use, and that his ult was hit-or miss.
“Nocturne’s ult does make me afraid,” One comment read. “I never know if I’m going to die or if my teammate is going to die.”
