Why doesn't Darius bleed apply/refresh elder drake burn?

Tooltip says any damage to non-structures applies the burn but Darius bleed doesnt.

Is this also the case for Brand Passive?

Oh yeah, the 400 damage bleed definitely needs to apply like 600 true damage as well

His bleed does not do 400 damage at 1 stack...

Elder Dragon Aspect of the Dragon grants (45 × Elder Dragon Elder Dragons slain) (+ 45 for every elemental dragon stack) true damage on all spells and basic attacks against non-turrets over 3 seconds.

Darius' passive doesn't apply on-hit effects or on-spell effects. As such, it doesn't apply Aspect of the Dragon's burn damage.

Is this also the case for Brand Passive?

Brand's passive applies on-spell effects (i.e. DFT, Rylai's slow, Liandry's burn), so it applies Aspect of the Dragon too.

Thank you for the explanation, guess the tooltip of elder dragon in game is misleading. It said damage dealt applies it.

The burn gets applied by spells and basic attacks. Darius' passive is neither, as it is an on-hit effect.

Just for the sake of giving other examples, it's also not applied by Teemo's E, Sivir's W (past the target she first attacks), or GP's innate.

Oh ok, thank you for explaining why. Maybe the elder drake tooltip needs to state that it is only applied by spells and basic attacks.

I'll answer you question with a question..

Why on earth would we WANT it to?

Consistency? GP old passive didnt deal damage to dragon or baron because they were immune to slows when that isnt supposed to happen. His bleed should apply elder dragon burn for consistency if it's supposed to. If it isnt then there should be a reason to why it doesnt.
