League-of-legends – Can damage from thornmail critically strike

league-of-legends

After playing a game as Nautilus, I was surprised to see that I had critically striked. I do have a rune page that gives a chance to critically strike, but I'm sure I didn't select it.

Do critical strikes vs thornmail count for the owner?

There's a bug where you have like a .00001% chance of getting a critical hit even without any critical strike items. Minions do it occasionally.

As for thornmail, it deals magic damage as a percentage of the net total damage you receive. So I believe the fact that the dmg is magic answers your question. We can't talk about critical magic dmg (that would be...interesting lol)
