When you have damage buffs AFTER the shot has been fired but before it lands, does it get buffed?

Kleptomancy works upon landing instead of upon launching, so you can launch an AA then use an ability while it's in transit to activate it.

With the exception of a few abilities, buffs that get applied mid-animation or during 'spell travel' time WILL affect the ability or auto in question.

Fun-fact: This works for damage-over-time abilities and debuffs as well.

**Example: Exhausting a Zed that has ulted and ignited a target will reduce the damage of BOTH abilities in real time, even if he has already applied them and the player is 'waiting' to die. **

The only exception I can think of right now is Nami's Tidecaller Buff - this wont affect current autos in motion, as the buff simply enchants 'the next 3 auto attacks'.

Celerity just got a whole lot better for Kai'sa.
