Nocturne has more power changes in league of legends with patch 8.6

More Nocturne buffs are on the way with patch 8.6, according to the latest PBE update.

In last week’s Patch 8.5, the missile speed of his Q, darkness duration of his ult, and passive healing and cool down refunding were all increased, and for all intents and purposes, it seems to have worked.

He bounced from one of the worst junglers in the game to a solid top-15 choice, according to League of Legends stats site Champion.gg. Still, Riot apparently doesn’t believe that was enough, because he’s getting a much more straightforward damage buff in 8.6 next week. Assuming these changes make it through testing without being reverted.

It’s all about his ultimate ability, Paranoia, which means he gets an even larger power spike when it’s off cool down. The bonus AD scaling on it is being increased by a whopping 30 percent. Specifically, the bonus AD scaling on the ability will scale with 150 percent of Nocturne’s bonus AD, up from 120. This means if he builds 200 AD with his items, he’s looking at a massive 60 damage increase just from the bonus-damage boost alone.

That’s not all, though, because Paranoia is also getting more base damage at rank two and three. With more bonus AD, and 50 more base damage at max rank, Nocturne’s late-game will be significantly more terrifying.

Those changes must be arriving with patch 8.6 at next week.
