Do the mastery "Evasion" applies against Karthus's Requiem?
The skill evasion do the following:
Reduces the damage taken from area effect abilities by 1/2/3%
Does it reduce the damage from Karthus's Requiem ?
Requiem (Active): After channeling for 3 seconds, Karthus deals magic damage to all enemy champions regardless of the distance.
In the Wiki there is no example for Requiem.
There exist a various amount of AoE champion abilities, summoner spells, and effect-granting items in the game and they can all be put in the following categories:
- Chain
- Cone
- Ground targeted
- Line
- Point blank
- Single targeted
- Hybrid
Solution 1:
Alright, The awesome FallenAngelEyes helped me do some science and here are the results:
With Evasion:
Without Evasion:
As you can see, Requiem does not get reduced by the Evasion mastery.
I ran the same set up for Karthus both times (gear, runes, and masteries).
Solution 2:
There is a difference between Area of Effect abilities and Multi-Target abilities. Things like Ahri's Fox Fire and Vladimir's Tides of Blood at Multi-Target abilities while something like Amumu's Tantrum or Nasus's Spirit fire. Basically Area of Effect spells target a location on the map while Multi-Target spells target multiple champions or units.
Since Evasion states that it reduces damage from Area of Effect abilities I think we can assume that it does not reduce the damage from Karthus's Ult (Requiem) since that is a Multi-Target spell.
