Overcharge different effects based on target structure

The current Overcharge is good and makes sense for Extractors since it delays resbiting.
But it would be fun and add depth if overcharge's effect changed based on the type of structure.
Sort of by decoupling the initial purpose of said structure, for instance;

Infantry Portal: Marines spawn twice as fast
Observatory: Double the radius of detection
Phase gate: Allow multiple marines to phase through instantly to targeted gate (remove the delay)
Armory: Create a healing ground around the armory that also repair armor
Arms lab & Proto lab: Speed up research time for a while
etc...

    Seems pretty inconsistent to me.

    sounds a bit like the chrono boost ability from protoss in starcraft 2
    This ability increases the production speed of a structure by 50% for 20 seconds.

    Yea but it makes sense gameplay and lore wise plus it helps differentiating overcharge from nano-shield more.

    Also, what you describe as inconsistent may also be seen as added tactical depth.
