Ironfist - useless ammount of Armor brake?

I recently got my new 5* 4/55 Ironist with like 40 Dupe ability ... He has proved useful in very few specific situations but something about his scaling seems very off. (as in extremely weak in comparison to other 4/55)
I am not sure how Armor Brake works but it seems that Ironfist applies way more of it than he can benefit from. Like I can get 5 stacks easily and the damage bonus seems capped at 2-3( which may have been that big update about returns )
Duped Ironfist (4/55 especially) has 2 sources of Armor brake and they cap off way too quickly. Instead of getting something that scales he just gets more of something he has no need for.
Anyway, this might sound a bit selfish but I would like to see Ironfist get a X-23 treatment. Maybe if he has 3 stacks of Armor Brake he can get bonus damage.
I always saw Ironfist as a GlassCannon hero but it seems the higher you upgrade the more apparent it becomes that Armor Brake does not need to scale that high .
What is the point of him having so much Armor Brake if it caps off almost instantly? It would be nice some reduction in Armor Brake for something that would complement it instead.

People created a lot of threads about this issue, but nothing was done until now
As eX said, it's a diminishing returns issue with Iron fist armor breaks.
My point Exactly.
Ironfist use to be a fun GlassCanon hero. but when Heros like Drax scale in bleed and damage they actually do a better job against armored heros than Ironfist .
It almost feels like Ironfist has no role anymore. Well he basically removes armor since it caps off anyway. So any other heros who has armor brake and other abilities is just kinda, better.
I actually got the alternate costume a week ago . The synergy makes it unusable XD
Since OP is stating that Iron Fist has a certain number of armor breaks before his damage caps (and all armor break stacks after that number do NOT further increase his dmg output), I reckon Kabam could just remove Iron Fist's armor break mechanic and replace it with a fury mechanic (as there no cap for attack rating).
It's simple how it would work: Say if each armor break reduced enemy armor by x and lasts for y seconds with the ability to stack, now you would have the same thing but replace armor break with a fury stack which lasts for the same y seconds and increases attack rating by the same amount each armor break would have previously applied to the opponent. eg) if 1 armor break reduce armor by 10%, now IF would gain a fury stack doing 10% more dmg accordingly.
The only downside or issue with this I reckon would be triggering MD extensively but that's all.
EDIT: I have a 5/50 IF duped if that makes any difference.
To be honest I am not 100% sure if he gets a damage bonus of armor break. I thought all heros had some hidden armor but they may have changed that as well.
I would like Ironfist to remain as passive armor brake hero . He just needs a portion of his armor brake scaling reduced in favor of something relevant. Right now he just stacks an insane amount of armor break which is 70% excess and worthless.
I don't know how to tag an admin. But seriously guys. What's it gonna take.
To tag, put the @ thing and then this exactly (no spaces after the @ sign, and yes, use the quotation marks at the beginning and end):
"Kabam Miike"
Replace Miike with whatever mod you want. Watch:
@Kabam Miike
Same with pure skill. Just a few days ago they said it was more powerful than before..lol. It just doesn't work though... that's how deep their heads are buried in the sand.
its armor "break"but I agree wid the post
