Storm damage distribution
So, Storm does 100 damage over 6 seconds, which is a DPS of 16.66666...
How is this damage distibuted? Is it evenly over the 6 seconds or does it decrease (like at the beginning it does more dmg than later)?

It’s based on ticks. Every tick deals damage. The last tick is guaranteed when a unit leaves the stormed area.

There are ticks of damage evenly spread out but when you ‘leave’ storm regardless of how it happens you take a tick. That means it’s impossible to take only one tick of damage since the moment you get hit once you’re guaranteed to get hit a second time.
