Nocturne Mid and Late Game

What Nocturne does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

Nocturne brings crowd control (percentile 99): start the fight or follow up on a teammate's engage.
Nocturne heals a lot (percentile 83): extended fights and sieges favor Nocturne.
Nocturne wins 50.0 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

Nocturne falls behind in CS (17/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.

Playing Nocturne

Using Paranoia at a critical moment is well worth it even if you cannot use the dash.
Duskbringer isn't only an offensive ability. It can be used to close distance out of combat or escape from certain death.
Use Shroud of Darkness in tandem with Paranoia's dash. Your opponents may panic and waste a critical disable on your spell shield.

Playing Against Nocturne

Stay close to your allies when Paranoia is cast - there is strength in numbers!
Nocturne's Unspeakable Horror is broken with range, so try to save your movement abilities for when he casts it.
