League-of-legends – Does the damage from Ahris “Orb of Deception” depend on more than the raw AP

league-of-legends

When Ahri fires her Orb of Deception on some minions, I noticed that the damage output isn't always the same.

Assuming both situations are with the same Items (so no change in AP and MP) it's sometimes the case that I can kill caster miniions with one combo (so the orb hits both times). Then without changing AP and MP sometimes the caster minions are left with some HP (also the orb hits both times).

Is there anything else affecting my damage on those minions? Or is it that I maybe just have sometimes a few more AP from any sort of Buff or because I used my ignite (I have the +5 AP when Ignite on CD Mastery for Ahri )?

Minions gain health over time, so if you barely 1-shot them now you won't 1-shot them in the next cycle which is nicely explained on this page: http://www.lolpro.com/guides/game-play/166-game-play-guide-last-hitting

Minions have an "Upgrade Cycle" that activates every 3 minutes. Despite spawning only at 1:30 the cycle already begins at 0:00. Meaning that after 3 minion waves a minion's power and gold worth is already higher than the first 3 waves.

Melee
Health: 445 (+20 per cycle)
Armor: 0 (+2 per cycle)
Magic Resistance: 0 (+1.25 per cycle)

Caster
Health: 280 (+15 per cycle)
Armor: 0 (+1.25 per cycle)
Magic Resistance: 0 (+2 per cycle)

Siege
Health: 700 (+27 per cycle)
Armor: 15 (+3 per cycle)
Magic Resistance: 0 (+3 per cycle)

Super
Health: 1500 (+200 per cycle)
Armor: 30
Magic Resistance: -30

Ahris damage is only influenced by level/AP and wether you hit opponents in both directions.
