Do the mastery “Evasion” applies against Karthus's Requiem?

Question

The skill evasion do the following:

Reduces the damage taken from area effect abilities by 1/2/3%

Does it reduce the damage from Karthus's Requiem ?

Requiem (Active): After channeling for 3 seconds, Karthus deals magic damage to all enemy champions regardless of the distance.

In the Wiki there is no example for Requiem.

There exist a various amount of AoE champion abilities, summoner spells, and effect-granting items in the game and they can all be put in the following categories:

• Chain
• Cone
• Ground targeted
• Line
• Point blank
• Single targeted
• Hybrid

Answer 1

Alright, The awesome FallenAngelEyes helped me do some science and here are the results:

With Evasion:

Without Evasion:

As you can see, Requiem does not get reduced by the Evasion mastery.

I ran the same set up for Karthus both times (gear, runes, and masteries).

Answer 2

There is a difference between Area of Effect abilities and Multi-Target abilities. Things like Ahri's Fox Fire and Vladimir's Tides of Blood at Multi-Target abilities while something like Amumu's Tantrum or Nasus's Spirit fire. Basically Area of Effect spells target a location on the map while Multi-Target spells target multiple champions or units.

Since Evasion states that it reduces damage from Area of Effect abilities I think we can assume that it does not reduce the damage from Karthus's Ult (Requiem) since that is a Multi-Target spell.

Answer 3

I would assume AoE would be skills that inflict or cause some kind of effect to multiple characters at one time in general
