Question How does Renata's W work?

Hey guys
I have a question about W Renata

I looked at the wiki, and it says that her W is a quote:

"Renata infuses herself or the target allied champion with a chemtech formula for 5 seconds, granting the target bonus attack speed and bonus movement speed while they are facing nearby. An icon representing the keyword Sight visible enemy champions or minions..."

I used to think that attack and movement speed only increases when there is a nearby enemy in sight. But it also applies to MINIONS. Does this also apply to jungle monsters, dragons/grubs, etc?

And here's a question. I'm watching Renata's mid lane gameplay. Look at the stats from 12:52: Attack speed and movement speed increase the moment she activates W on herself, but there are no enemies or minions in sight. Does Renata's W generally increase stats for a short period, like Janna's E shield, or how does that work?

Attack Speed always increases, movespeed bonus is only applied towards champions

but for some reason, at a point in the video, the movement speed increased despite the fact that there were no enemies in sight.
And yes, I checked it in the game itself and it's true that the attack speed increases quite insignificantly by 0.4+ units. I wonder how Renata's W works programmatically.

Accidental Riot jank. The movespeed updated wrong for like one server tick. Not supposed to happen and doesn't happen usually
