Ahri orb not dealing True damage

I was playing a game of ARAM today and one champion on the other team was Yorkick. I saw plenty of times while fighting him that when Ahri's orb is traveling backwards and suppose to deal true damage, it only deals about have of what it's suppose to. Ex. 140(182) true damage had 161 white text come up around his minions. I mentioned it in chat and Yorick responded by asking if it worked against Elise's spiders but I wasn't sure since i literally just noticed it. It did this all game. It isn't really a game breaker but true damage not dealing true damage seems to be an issue.

the spiders and ghouls have damage reduction against AoE spells. I guess it also applies to true damage?

Damage reduction does reduce damage, yes. Yorick himself also has damage reduction, as does anyone with Bond of Stone.

damage reduction does not normally reduce_ true damage_ , but it appears that is the cause for the ghouls and spiders.

Damage reduction/amplification is not SUPPOSED to affect true damage, but this has been a consistent issue in the past where it has. I wouldn't be surprised if people just forgot about Yorick when they did the pass over all the reduction/amplification effects interacting with true damage.

That being said it has also been an issue where the damage displayed is not the same as the damage taken so perhaps it is listing reduced damage and taking into account the reduction but for the actual damage it is doing it correctly. Either way it should probably be looked into.
