Make Heavy Armor users significantly slower

✭ZOS went wrong with the overall design of armor since the release.
Heavy armor provides much more resists, more health with the downside of lower mag penetration and bigger skills cost.
This is significant downsides in the PVE, where fights are long, but not really - in PVP, where fights are shorter.
But, additional resists, HP and some pretty neat heavy sets (Ravager, Fury, Veiled etc..) combined provides even an advantage vs light and medium armor users.

✭No.
You cannot nerf heavy armor JUST because it outperform medium armor.
Magicka Heavy armor character make real choice, If you go heavy you loose sustain and damage for survivability. If you go light you have better sustain and better damage for less survivability.
You cannot nerf a mix armor because one side is overperforming.2 -

It is a thing without swift too. The issue of sustain in heavy has largely been countered by the increase in CP and sustain via heavy attacks. A sprinting heavy armor user in 5 Heavy/2 Medium using Speed pots is at 1.76 and cap is 2.0. No swift needed.0 -

Your agenda for permasnaring heavy won't do *** once you're into gap closer range. Or do you guys aim at being so much faster than heavy armor setups that it becomes impossible for them to reach, catch and damage you? And you seem to have forgotten how littered this place was with "stand your ground isn't viable, we need to become more mobile" or "elder snares online" comments before swift and the nerfs to snares.
Obviously the devs are on snare immunity on FM at the moment. My guess is that we will just come full circle again. Remember how fun it was back then, imagine how much fun it will be when your nerf show comes true.
Heavy gets blamed for all the mitigation sources, which isn't fair. Defile got nerfed which means health regen and healing are stronger. There's a lot of places to mitigate, but heavy alone won't save someone. However, heavy is unique in that it passively builds the biggest source of mitigation. When you add one or two weapon damage procs, get extra sustain from meditate, mobility from pots, and snare immunity from FM, you have a really good build that is very hard to kill, does very good damage, and can sustain.
Stand your ground does work 1v1, maybe 1v2 or 3, but Cyrodiil is all about the zerg now.
Try being a magblade in light without self-buffed major sorcery without speed pots without a source of snare removal. That's permasnare. Very few OW staff magblades out there.
On the flip side, Heavy Armor Stamblade with Master's axes and the new Major Evasion is gonna be even better.

✭✭✭✭It would not be that accurate if heavy armor was greatly slower. Historically plate armor had a high degree of mobility and trained soldiers could run, jump and even climb with it on without much difficulty. Most of the armor was about 50lb for a full set not including the shield or weapons. That 50lb was distributed evenly on the body. The joints were made in a fashion to allow for as much range of motion as possible. The common concept of plated armor being extremely heavy is just inaccurate. For most of those who put on a full set in real life and think it is, they normally are out of shape and/or not trained to fight with it on.

✭It's obviously a disadvantage to wear heavy plate armor at 100 meters Summer Olympics, where every millisecond counts.
But main problem is endurance, if we're going the realism route. Moving around with extra 50-55 pounds of weight makes you tired faster. Anyone that's been in the military would know that to, since you often have to marsh for hours with a backpack of similar weight.
I find it funny that people only want heavy to be realistic or behave logically, when suggesting downsides or nerfs, like you should be slower or unable to sneak blah blah. But they happily forget about all the real life advantages plate armor users had.
Let's not forget that long range arrows from bows couldn't penetrate it. Or that enemy combatants had to aim for weak spots, to do serious dmg to a (normally rich)person wearing highest quality plate armor. Heavy users would basically be able to bounce of all the sniping nightblades in Cyrodiil, while laughing and facetanking a few Steel Tornados. Do we really need more realism I wonder?
Heavy is perfectly balanced in a PvE setting anyhow, so go away with nerfs because PvP.5 -

It already is, ffs. Medium gets sprint cost reduction and sprint speed bonus, and light is getting a sprint cost reduction in murkmire too. Heavy already is the armor type with the slowest speed, nerfing it any more will just result in even more wipes in PvE when tanks refuse to sprint because they need their stam for blocking and silver leash the moment they reach the next trash pack.

✭✭✭✭✭ZOS should make Heavy Armor users at -least- 20% slower in movement speed then medium/light armor users.
- It is logical that Heavy Armor should be a -lot- slower
- Heavy Armor currently has no downsides
1. it is a fantasy game so logic in such things does not translate .
2. If we are going that route then MA and HA cannot swim. One has armor that will bind to much and the other will sink.
Regardless of where someone's opinion is on this matter, HA will never move slower in this game.
