It is a DoT.

The definition of LoL DoT's is a bit different from those for rpg's I guess, being both applied spells (the "classic" DoT, see malefic visions etc) and area/champion centered effects that affect those that dare to step into their area of effect but only for the duration of hteir stay. technically, Kennen's ult would be considered a DoT then BUT I think it's kind of an inconsistency. maybe it#s because Kennen's ult doesn't really "feel" like a DoT because the hits are being stated separately (each lighning deals X damage) and becaus... ahhh heck with it I don't know, just add either those "weird to place"-DoT's or remove them altogether, I'd say!
