As a Nocturne main and trying every single build i think the best one is...

  1. Phantom Dancer (Ehh maybe a little suprising but dont disdain it)

  2. Guinsoo's Rageblade (Maybe saw this was coming?)

  3. The Collector (Mostly for Armor Penetration)

  4. Bloodthirsty (Only single thing that makes the 3 above bad is lifesteal issue)

  5. Immortal Shield Bow (Yeah this much lifesteal is least needed)

  6. Your Choise (Maybe Maw of Malmortius for Ap resistance or Lord Dominik's for Tanks or even the Zaun Chainsaw for WW)

I think he collector is a bad item in general. I would consider black cleaver there or maybe grudge. You are squish AF and have a lot of crit in there for a rage build. If I wanted this much crit I would go Kraken, IE, BT as a core. I've done it in norms and it's fun, but I duno about anything serious unless you are low elo.

Ok so good think you haven't seen my original Noc build that was at one point destroying normal matches

Bloodthirster Blade of the Ruined King Immortal Shieldbow Ravenous Hydra Berserker Greaves Phantom Dancer

Not necessarily in that order, but with that much LS, 2 autos and I'd be at full health again.......IT WAS GLORIOUS...........Until I entered ranked play

Unfortunately bloodthirster is kinda a pure adc item now, because you basically dont want to get hit to maintain its damage boost. The item was awesome when it just a gave a shield. Basically a second shieldbow / overheal. However, now that shieldbow is not a mythic anymore, you can combine it with eclipse to still have the dual shield combo.

Sounds more like a Yi build. What is this build the best for? Hard stomping in gold and below? What are the runes?

Best build to keep you in iron, sure.

Build has quite a few issues

  1. You're building as though Nocturne is a carry champ, or can 1v5. He's not. His entire kit is designed to DUEL his targets. Granted this is mostly true for early game but falls of heavy late game because of more teamfights. Building the components for these items may help early game (Zeal, Berserks, etc..) but after 21m, you're flat out useless. Enemy will have items, and you will die if more than one person targets you.
  2. You can't even one shot anyone after 21m. A lethality built makes more sense than this build. Even though its also bad, it makes it much easier to target squishes or their backline.
  3. Pointing out the obvious, unless you end the game in 15m, you will be an easy pick for the enemy. Nocturne doesn't have the best late game because he doesn't scale as well as other champs, but he's still reliable if played and built properly. This build completely tanks his reliability.
  4. Major problem as well is consistency. Nocturne standard build of Stride into Black clever is really consistent, even if you fall behind early. I've had games where I was 0/4 before 16m, but I pulled back hard after I got Stride and Boots, and ended positive and still able to contest objectives. This build you have really requires that you get ahead or get a big lead EVERY GAME if you want to be consistent.

Don't get it twisted, this build seems like it'd be fun to play, but it has no practicality in ranked. I can maybe see this working if you get 3 kills before 2mins, but other than that, you can't do much.

​

I assume you were joking about this build, and if you were then my b XD Js don't want people actually taking this build serious. On the off chance that you were serious, I can go in-depth on each item, and why the overall build is really bad.
