Do Rumbles Auto-Attacks when OverHeated affect structures?

Do Rumbles Auto-Attacks when OverHeated affect structures? - Concrete Bridge over Clear Blue River Beside Mountain

I like to play Rumble and one thing I do out of instinct is overheating at the turret (after killing the other toplaner) and auto-attack it while overheated for the bonus AD.

It makes me slightly vulnerable there under turret.

But do Rumbles overheated auto-attacks really affect structures(I can't really tell from looking at the screen)? Or do they only work on minions/champions?



Best Answer

No, the turrets will not be affected.

Also a thing to note: You don't gain bonus AD. Overheating is an on-hit effect that scales off with 25% of your AP and your level while dealing magic damage (not physical). You should only use the overheating if you can win a melee trade against another champion or if you want more damage on your auto attacks if jungling or farming. Using it while pushing a turret is more or less counterproductive since it silences you and resets your heat meter which basically puts you in a bad spot if you're getting ganked.

Rumble was released in a time where damaging a turret with spells or on-hit effects was an extremely rare ability and they didn't rework his passive since.
