I just wondering if anyone else thinks they should change overwhelms ability to go through barriers and units that can't take damage?

It just doesn't seem to make sense that if you block the damage that the excess still hits you they are not taking damage IMO.

I have actually played a version of LoR where overwhelm did go through barrier and it was very unfun! Ha ha!!

Related... I was arguing with some of our game designers about how confusing it was that when a blocker got removed from an attacker that the attacker did not still strike the nexus. So we sat down and played (on paper) where attacks went through. It was horribly unfun! I think I only had to play 1 game to realize I was very, very wrong.
