[GAMEPLAY] Diana's passive magic dmg doesn't proc Rylais Scepter slow. (Explanation: If intended)

Hey there,

Diana's passive ability deals magic damage at every 3rd consecutive hit. So according to the crystal scepter text the slow should apply for the reason 1: is an ability and 2: it deals dmg.

> Rylai's Crystal Scepter: Damaging spells or abilities reduce enemy movement speed by 20% for 1 second

How to reproduce:

  1. Select Diana in the champion selection.
  2. Buy rylai's crystal scepter
  3. Attack thrice Result: No slow applied!

Reasons why it should work:

  1. Teemo's E gives him passive which deals magic dmg. Rylai's effect applies - You could argue it's an ability that he can put skill points in - therefore it is handled differently
  2. Fizz's passive on-hit dmg of his w also applies the Rylai's effect - you could argue they both have a dot and therefore they are treated differently.
  3. Akali has a real passive that deals magic dmg (therefore comparable to Diana) and her 2nd passive proc activates the passive of Rylai's Crystal Scepter.

Diana's passive doesn't apply spell effects, ie proc ludens echo or rylai slow. Teemo e is the same way.

Well, but why does it not apply spell effects? It is an ability, it deals dmg. Akalis passive slows enemies with rylais together
