Omega Red's Death Spores are not scaling at all with attack boosts/nodes

After a bit of testing, the damage from his death spores (both from signature ability and death field) do not scale with any attack boosts, masteries, or class advantage/disadvantage. This is stated no where in his spotlight. Passive degeneration has been shown to scale directly with attack modifiers before like with Dormammu's passive degen. This is hindering omega red's effectiveness by quite a bit.
As a side note, I've noticed another bug with him where death spores will continue to fall off when you're still within striking distance proximity of the opponent.

In this first GIF, is a 5/65 Omega Red sig 115 which deals 1220.45 damage per second. I also have suicides on. Damage ticks are shown for every half-second, so the 611 damage per second shown equals exactly to the sig damage of 1220.45. This has to be a bug, because I have full suicides AND class advantage in the first fight, which should boost the degen damage by over 70%. The first gif shows clearly that his degen is not being affected by any attack modifiers.

In this second GIF, the same damage of 611 tick is shown against Captain Marvel whom I do not have class advantage against. These numbers should not be the same. Further proves that degen damage is not affected by attack modifiers at all. Boosts aren't affecting the damage either.

Omega Red deals a passive degen, same as Dormammu. In Dormammu's case, his degen damage is affected by all attack modification nodes, boosts, class advantage, etc so I don't see why Omega Red's passive degen shouldn't act the same. It is stated no where that Omega Red's death spores are based off base attack damage only. When increasing Omega Red's base attack (via attack% synergy) then the death spore damage DOES go up accordingly.
@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit Please confirm if this is a bug or not. If Omega Red's damage was always intended to be base attack only, that needed to be stated in the original spotlight. (like Domino's sig). If it is meant to scale like any other damage ability, there is clearly a bug here. This affects his death field spore damage as well.
Yup he’s still a good champ, but this bug is something that needs to be clarified/ironed out for people like you who need to make these decisions.
Interesting.
Where is that stated though in his spotlight / mod comments? I found the same thing through testing, but no other champ has damaging abilities that scale like that except Domino, where it’s explicitly stated that her sig ability is based off base attack only.
Here is a 200 sig omega in epic lab
This damage has to be right?
Last i checked sig abilities have never been altered before by any mode/node/gameplay
Please address op problem and if omega is working as intended
My current omega is 180 i am not sure if it will even reach this high of dmg from sig

Yep that is a great way to test it. Slap any attack boost on and compare his degen damage before / after. It SHOULD increase, but it is not.
I do, however, understand the confusion, as in-game both just state values.
Thank you for the reply. That is a bit disappointing there was no mention in the spotlight or indication this was the case at his release, but thank you for confirming. I hope in future champ releases, base attack scale vs attack modifiers scale can be explicitly stated since it makes a huge difference.
