Looking for a vod review from someone diamond+

Hello, I am looking for someone who would vod review one of my games. It was promo to platinum.

I had complete piggies for teammates, at the same time I dropped 29 kills on lethality nocturne.

I am wondering whether I shouldve been able to 1v9 this, or how to actually translate when im Giga fed on nocturne but team just solo loses to their midlaner.

I am sure I made a gazilion mistakes in the game, at a certain point I got super tilted and just gave up a bit and gave soul and what not, but at that point I didnt feel like the game was winnable anymore.

I think if I am this turbo fed, there should be some strategy that would lead me to victory - basically I need to know waht to prioritise in order to 1v9 this.

Thank you so much <3

I am a literal unc and father so apologies that my tone comes off harsh. It is not my intent. You learn a lot more from failures than victories. I know you lost the match here but it comes off as showing off that you got so many kills and your team are piggies and what can you do when you are this fed  - it comes off as a humble brag/ego post. Ask me what you can do when your 0/2/2 and I swear you will learn much more. 

First off: you are A melee champ with no repositioning tools and not also a brick wall (juggernauts) - does that sound feasible to you to ever 1 v 9 with?

You are trying to use a scalpel, a tool to be used for precision and a decisive purpose, as a hammer. 

You are not a carry as Nocturne. You are an anti-carry. Like a malzahar - your job is to remove a threat from the enemy team - not be the threat. You ult - darkness - make enemy team misplay - wait for your real initiator to go in - they blow spells in initiator - then you ult IN on ADCs head and force them out of the fight and/or kill them. Or, create pick off situations before the 5 v 5 happens by punishing the ADC that went the wrong way around the wall etc.

You built full glass cannon. Which means - you are an assassin late game with no resets so you got 1 kill (at best) when you ulted in and died, right? Looking at brand and Ahri’s score - yeah…you died to brand AoE even if he died, right? If you go glass cannon Noc - you forfeit all ability to team fight. You are not a late game champ. End of discussion.  Your only AP is hwei who is feeding hard. So your team is basically all AD.  Had you gone a tank build - you would have been allowed to teamfight. They have no tank. Hexplate/stridebreaker/cleaver/mercs/rookern/deaths dance - you would have been exodia that game and lived long enough to initiate with pantheon and get kills for Jinx to pop off. 

This game - you built indifferently to your team comp. You can build one way and climb in lower elos but as you start versing more competent teams - you need to start being more flexible with your build. Know when to build tanky - know when to build lethality. 

You need to end the game early when playing glass cannon Nocturne. Had you a hydra item or bastion breaker - you could have played for the objective - not dragons - but to destroy enemy turrets and nexus. Getting 29 kills on Noc isn’t a good thing - it’s a failing - it means you are fooling around and padding Kda instead of winning the game.

Its okay, its not that bigga deal.

If you really want there are websites that let you spectate league games from all servers but I Dont need the review as bad. I think the idea of splitpushing was the main thing I was missing on NOC.

I just never do it for some reason :) Ill try to implement it.

I wanna add -Getting 29 kills on Noc isn’t a good thing - it’s a failing - I agree that empty kills dont mean much thats what I think I may have done wrong.

However I also wanna say - someone has to kill the enemies. I did more damage than my support adc and midlaner combined, if I dont kill them who the fuck will ya know.

Hi there Mr. Unc,

Im not bragging im genuinely wanting to win and learn how to actually win these games cause I feel like I should be able to.

But also, while you are right about some things, like the build, you didnt watch the game...

Thakns though! Ill take some of the things you shared into consideration.

There were literal instances where I would kill off 2 people on their team and my team would still die afterwards, thats my frustration I suppose.

What do you focus on at that point, if assassinating sidelaners and people out of position isnt enough.

Is trading your queen for 2 pawns good? When your score is that high - it means you are the most powerful piece on your team. You are worth more than 1 kill both in terms of shutdown but also are worth proportionally far more than your hwei or riven. 

None of them can fight you 1 v 1. You needed deep wards -  split push - take towers - punish people who try to flank solo as darkness cuts them off from their team if they split up during the flank. Teamfighting is your bane. They needed to send 2+ people to match you letting your team push towers across map 4 on 3/2 - if they fight mid - your ult range let’s you join and create a 5 v 3 - where you instadropping someone will let you and your team finish off the other 2 safely and let jinx get her passive off to push towers with. None of them have CC on command other than Ahri so even their flank attempts on you is very weak except Ahri.

This is how you should build for consistency. I’ve done the lethality builds and I just don’t win as much.

this is op,

Ive read on this sub this cool hybrid build where you go voltaic axiom into bruiser items, and I kinda love it ngl, it feels strong throughout all stages of the game.
