Armor Shatter

So I don't think I'm going to confuse anyone by saying that armor shatter is a very strong ability. The sole reason Medusa is still a top tier champion, outside of simple access to armor break, is because of her armor shatter. I love armor shatter as an ability, and I understand that it is very strong, but I feel like with all of the nerfs coming to Ghost and Quake, that armor shatter could be used more often in champion design.
The cosmic class is absolutely massive, and with the recent buffs to Venompool and King Groot, I'm assuming that Kabam is honing in on the fact that the biggest class in the game has some of the most useless champs. Well lets give some of them armor shatter then. They don't have to be as good with it as Medusa and Aarkus, but I think its healthier for the game if it's not solely delegated to those champs. Champs like Superior Iron Man or Symbiote Spider-Man could be incredible options to add a small duration armor shatter to.
Not only do I think that armor shatter is underutilized, but I do think with the way Kabam has been 'nerfing' Ghost and Quake, that they could also 'nerf' armor shatter while also making it more available. Armor shatter gets nerfed a lot already by nodes that don't allow for ability accuracy reduction, nodes that don't allow debuffs, or simply by armor break immunity. It's not something that's hard for Kabam to counter- why is it only delegated to Medusa and Aarkus?
TL;DR: Armor shatter is easy for Kabam to counter with nodes, but is extremely rare in champ design. Buff some champs like OG Cap Marvel, Ms. Marvel, The Champion, Superior Iron Man, and more to make armor shatter a bit more common.
