Daño prolongado

Damage over time (DoT) is a term used to describe a single spell or attack which deals full damage not instantly but over a period of time, dealing a portion of its total damage at regular intervals. The damage is often done every second or every half-second, and each instant in which it is dealt is called a "tick."

The slow effect from Rylai's Crystal Scepter always applies a 15% slow from abilities which deal this type of damage; the slow is applied from the first tick of the DoT until 1.5 seconds after the last tick.

For single-target DoT spells, spell vamp will be applied to the total amount of damage dealt by all ticks.

Types of DoTs and their sources

The different types of DoTs only differ in whether you can interrupt its duration by moving out of the area.

Non-decreasable duration

Once applied, there is no way to prevent further damage from the source apart from activating Quicksilver Sash to cleanse the effect.

These refer to any ability which continually deals damage but requires enemy units to be in its area of effect. Some of these leave a damaging debuff that keeps damaging targets for some time after they leave the area.
