I'm glad you put the actual text there for all to read. The language is important to see as it doesn't really leave much room for interpretation.
It states "Excess damage I deal...".
Damage dealt = 0
0 does not have any "excess", it's 0.
The excess of 0 will always be 0, there is no way around that without defying the laws of mathematics, language, and logical reasoning.
Even narratively, it doesn't make sense. Like if I imagine the scenario played with miniatures, or a film . Imagine if the magical "Barriers" cast by the heroes of our fantasy realms only had the amount of effect as the caster's "HP"; suddenly Gandolf's iconic "You shall not pass" moment is relatively ineffective because he does pass, just with slightly less power.
Okay, I've ranted for long enough, please share your thoughts.
I don't understand your logic at all, if you are using the language as it is written in the ability description.
It very clearly states that "Excess damage I deal to my blocker is dealt to the enemy Nexus".
EXCESS DAMAGE I DEAL.....
Since the damage dealt to the blocker was 0, there is no "excess" damage. Unless you are arguing that 0 has an excess, which is mathematically impossible and defies all logical reasoning, I don't see how you come to your determination. The excess of 0 will always be 0, there's no way around that fact.
