Usually in LoL, the buffs are applied first but they end first as well. Taric's bonus AP from his ult COUNTS toward it's initial damage, because as I said the buff is applied first. However, Hemoplague's secondary damage isn't increased by the percentage amplification, because the buff ends first, then the damage is applied. Therefore, -with no testing whatsoever, mind you- I would assume that the "damage counter" buff ends first, THEN 50% of the damage it has counted + 100% AD are applied. One could say that only the AD part could be counted. However, if the two damages are applied as one (50%+AD is shown above the target as ONE sum) and not as two separate sources of damage (two numbers appear) then counting the AD part in would mean that also the 50% part would be increased. So if the ulti summed up the percentage and the flat part, but counted the flat part before the buff expired, this would happen: a 300 AD Zed deals 1000 damage to an enemy (suppose he has 0 armor). His ult then deals another 800 (500+300), but because the damage is counted like it was applied while the buff was active, it would be increased to 1200. So most probably the damage isn't counted in, EXCEPT if the AD and the 50% parts are counted as two different sources of damage, in which case there is a teeny chance that the AD part could be increased.
