Edit: This affects many more champions than Diana. It is a significant nerf to jungle sustain for the following champions: Diana Nautilus Nocturne RekSaiShaco

A listing of all affected abilities I could find was added to the bottom of this post.

Description: Hunter's Talisman does not properly trigger when jungle monsters are damaged by Diana's passive.

Frequency: 100% of the time

Effect on Gameplay: Diana's first clear when jungling is much more difficult and requires her to return to base after fewer camps.

Expected Behavior: After the third area of effect swing, enemies damaged by the passive would have their health drained by the Talisman and would have the purple fire visual effect to indicate this. Because of the description for the Hunter's Talisman stating that any damage on a monster will trigger the health drain effect, it is expected that the damage caused from Diana's passive would cause it to trigger, which leads me to believe this is a bug.

Actual Behavior: After the third area of effect swing, enemies do not receive the purple fire visual effect and their health is not drained.

To Reproduce: Begin attacking a jungle camp with more than one monster as Diana without using any abilities. Monitor the health of one of the secondary monsters after beginning to attack. Health of the monster will reduce when damaged by the area of effect passive but will not continue to tick afterward for the drain.

Edit: Several champions are affected by this bug. See below.

The following champions' abilities are affected by this bug: Darius Passive Bleed Diana Passive AoE attack Gangplank Passive burn damage Heimerdinger Turret basic attacks (lasers properly trigger it) Nautilus Titan's Wrath damage Nocturne Passive AoE attack RekSai Queen's Wrath AoE damage Shaco Jack in the Box Sivir Ricochet secondary targets Teemo Toxic Shot poison damage Yorick Basic attacks from any ghoul

Went through further testing to see what does and does not properly interact with Hunter's Talisman in order to help track down the problem. Abilities that do not properly interact were added to the original post.

The following champions' abilities were tested and are interacting properly with the Hunter's Talisman:

Alistar Trample damage Annie Molten Shield damage Brand Passive burn Chogath Vorpal Spikes Fizz Seastone Trident passive damage Nidalee Bushwhack Rammus Defensive Ball Curl damage Rumble Flamespitter Sejuani Flail of the Northern Winds Singed Poison Trail Twitch Deadly Venom Udyr Phoenix Stance activation Urgot Noxian Corrosive Charge MonkeyKing Decoy Zyra Plant basic attacks (all)

To repeat, the abilities listed in this post are working properly. The first post contains abilities that do not properly interact with Hunter's Talisman.
