    If more people are wearing light and medium over heavy that wouldn't surprise me. A good chunk of players are bad at PvP. I bet most players are also not running impen for traits as well. A simple understanding of game mechanics would show you that heavy is superior in PvP.

    Agreed. It's not worth arguing. Anyone claiming that heavy is not the meta and trying to imply that HA is not superior to its counterparts all around, does not pvp right now. If they do and they haven't figured this out, they're new to Cyro or not paying attention.

    The problem isn't really about HA being the best option in Cryodiil, it's that this is in the general forums and heavy is not the way to go for PvE.

    Wait...is that what this back and forth is about? Where the post landed? Good gods I thought people were implying HA is not superior to all in pvp. Of course it's not the best option for all circumstances in pve. I will back away now, it seems I misread some things.

    I'm implying that heavy is not superior in PVP, using Zos Data. For "Superior" armor its the least popular.

    Some of you believe it is because is you think it deals the most dmg, yet that claim doen't translate into pve.

    Would like to know how the data would look like, if we remove medium armor gank builds and light armor bombers from it.

    It is superior in PvP. This is based on my own testing combining factors of sustain, damage, mitigation, and healing. Seems to be the conclusion everyone else who pvp's has come to as well. I have seen no data stating otherwise. A graph showing people using more medium only tells me that I still have time to wreck face before the newbies and pve'rs on vacation in Cyro figure it out.

    Hmmm your words, or a Graph from the devs.

    I think the devs are right. Now if your opinion is heavy is OP then you opinion stands strong, but its not fact.

    Not everyone agrees with your opinion though, I don't watch streamers.

    In fairness, to make this work you need a couple specific sets. That's going to cut out a lot of players right up front. It's not even a question of, "are most players just bad at the game?" It's that even the ones who could sort this out, probably haven't invested the resources into the right sets to horrifically break the way heavy armor functions.

    Agreed, sets like Blk rose and reactive are OverPreforming,
    Coupled up with proc sets and its strong. But I think the misconception is Heavy is OP when the problem is the Heavy armor sets. There is a ton of armor pen in the game atm so they need to take advantage of that.

    Heavy armor is in a good spot and is finally useable since the game launched

    Again wrong. It's not a BR or Reactive. It's heavy armor in general. It gives just too many stats compared to medium and light armor. It's really that simple.
    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.
