Blue and Red Buff Infinite Health Regen

So I'm not sure if this is a bug, or me just not knowing the limits of the jungle, but many games when I've tried to kite the blue buff or red buff, the buff will reach a point at which it just turns around and starts regenerating health at a rapid rate. I can temporarily draw aggro from the buff, but it will not return to attack me, even if I'm standing within the buff alcove, until it ha returned to it's starting position. From there it will continue to regenerate health almost to a full health bar.

If this isn't a bug, maybe the discussion can be transferred to tips & tricks so that I can learn how to appropriately kite these two.

Thanks!

Working as intended. If jungle creatures get attacked and aren't able to deal damage back a few times in a row they reset.

This is working as intended.

All of the camps (not just the Blue buff and Red buff) have a set number of times you can lose or switch aggro.

Currently, this number of times for all the camps is 5.

As the other comments say they can only be kited 5 times before they reset. This is because at the beginning of the season the limit was 10 and people would clear the jungle with ranged champs kiting the camps taking almost no damage.
