Stukov lvl 13 talent not working as intended or bad wording

Hello!

I’m testing a W-build for Stukov and noticed some inconsistencies when testing the lvl 13 talent “Poppin’ Postules”. The talents description says:
“Detonating a Weighted Pustule with Bio-Kill Switch within 1.5 seconds of its expiration increases its damage by 150% and applies its damage and Slow in an area. Enemy Heroes hit have a Weighted Pustule applied to them.”

When I tested trait detonated W in try mode I got these results at lvl 20 WITHOUT Poppin’ Postules:

  1. 44 dmg from initial W-hit.
  2. 193 dmg from W when it’s removed (traited or after 3 sec).
  3. 219 dmg from trait (bonus dmg when detonating W).
  4. 70% slow from trait.

When instead testing WITH Poppin’ Postules, based on the description of the talent, I think it should work out like this:

  1. 44 dmg from initial W-hit.
  2. 193 x 2,5 (100% base + 150% increase) = 482,5 dmg in an AOE.
  3. 219 dmg (don’t think this dmg instance should get multiplied since this dmg comes from the trait, not the W).
  4. 70% slow in an AOE.

What actually happens WITH Poppin’ Postules and trait:

  1. 44 dmg from initial W-hit.
  2. 193 x 2,5 = 482,5 dmg ON INITIAL TARGET ONLY.
  3. 219 dmg in an AOE.
  4. 70% slow in an AOE.

So to me it seems like this is not working as:

  1. The dmg from the W is NOT applied in an AOE,
  2. Instead the dmg from the TRAIT is applied in an AOE,
  3. But the dmg on the AOE is NOT increased by 150% like the talent states.

If this works as intended then the wording on the talent should change to:
“Detonating a Weighted Pustule with Bio-Kill Switch within 1.5 seconds of its expiration increases Weighted Pustule’s damage by 150% on it’s initial target and applies the damage and Slow from Bio-Kill Switch in an area. Enemy Heroes hit have a Weighted Pustule applied to them.”
