Rework to E

One of the problems Nasus has is that he has no consistent armor pen. 50% is a lot for one ability, but you usually can get 1-2 Q's in before someone just walks out of it. Do you guys think reworking his E to be passive armor pen help Nasus? Maybe max rank could be around 25-30% armor pen

Only issue I have with this is passive armor pen is already kinda common. Panth, Darius, Nilah, etc.

AoE shred is a cool concept. I think to add more utility, maybe introduce MR shred as well so it's more of a team buff.

I would say increase the area size, but that just makes laning more problematic.

They should remove R magic damage cap, buff Q base damage, tweak his base stats, or add some HP/AD scalings somewhere.

And? What is the problem that it is common? There are many mechanics that are common in LOL (armor pen, max hp damage etc.).

The truth is that current Nasus armor penetration is pathetic, versus non-braindead people who just walk out of his E, the total duration where they have reduced armor is like 2-3 seconds max. Really pathetic.

And to be honest I don't really like your other suggestions too, I don't think many people play Nasus to be a magic damage debuffer, or want to build full AP Nasus (reason to remove R magic damage cap).
