How to Use Nocturne Counter Data
Want to know which champions give Nocturne the most trouble? The matchup figures here are pulled from recent ranked Jungle games rather than guessed from a tier list. At the moment, Gwen, Teemo and Wukong are the toughest lanes for Nocturne, since his win rate falls furthest below his average in those matchups. Gwen is the hardest of the three: Nocturne wins only 44.1% of the 311 games recorded against her. On the other side, Taliyah, Zed and Locke are matchups where Nocturne performs well, so they are worth targeting during champion select.
Every card lists Nocturne’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it is based on. A result from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even and Hard tags are calculated from those win rates: under 48% is labeled Hard, over 52% is labeled Easy. They are simply a shortcut for reading the numbers and not a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above in every region, is currently based on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does. A counter list is only part of the picture, so also review the current Nocturne build for the best items and runes, or visit the Nocturne champion page for ability details and everything else.
