[LoR] [GAMEPLAY] Possibly bugged interaction with Overwhelm and Barrier

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, since I couldn't for the life of me find a discussion board for Legends of Runeterra, so if anyone knows of an official one, that would be great.

So this isn't a straight up bug, and is reproducible 100% of the time, but seems more like an incorrect interaction. If an attacker has Overwhelm, and a defender on it has a Barrier up, the attack will be blocked by the barrier, but then the attacker's whole attack value (-1 point of attack that was used to pop the Barrier) will hit the defender's Nexus, as if the defender had died.

I know that Overwhelm is MEANT to keep an attack going if the defender has been removed from the fight (i.e. Killed by a spell, Recalled, Stunned, etc.), but this seems very counter intuitive, and I've already run into a couple situations where it almost felt like I was abusing a bug when players were unknowingly putting up a Barrier'd defender to block my Tryndamere. The keyword DOES state that EXCESS damage will be dealt to the enemy Nexus, but it's kind of weird to consider that the barrier only absorbs 1 point of damage when it normally negates the entire attack.
