Excessive heat for any battery will shorten its life, some faster than others.
Overcharging is just another form of overheating, maybe you never felt a battery surface during a high rate charge.

Many years ago, dark ages of early NiCad use in RC cars, the goal was to charge a pack at a moderate rate until full, then top off a number of times just prior to a race. This made sure the pack was full and the heat reduced the internal resistance for max power.
Too much heat caused venting of the internal "stuff" which also reduced capacity.

Modern chemistries have varying levels of resistance to the negative effects of over charging/excessive heat. Think of hot LiPo batteries........
