Do placed items deal more damage per tick after the initial tick if an item is purchased?

Question

As a follow up to Do placed units increase in damage when you level up the ability?, what if I put a shroom, someone steps on it, takes one tick damage, before second tick I buy a deathcap. Does the second tick deal more damage?

the game doesn't continuously deal periodic damage like teemo shrooms but instead deals damage in small bursts called ticks — wonton, May 18 '14 at 18:50

If you place a Teemo shroom and then buy Deathcap then your shroom will increase in damage automatically.

Ex:

Once the shroom explodes it will not change in damage.

Ex:

Placed shroom will do 150 dmg
Vayne steps on the shroom and it explodes
You buy Deathcap, Zhonyas, Void Staff, and Liandrys all at once
The DoT damage will not spike to 500 dmg instantly. The shroom will still do 150 dmg.

This is super interesting. Do you have a source for it? Where did you find this information? – GarrettJ May 20 '14 at 15:16
@GarrettJ League of Legends is known to calculate damage at the time of application. You can easily test this in a custom game. – Schism May 21 '14 at 01:49
