Youd like to see more "realistic" armor in a game that includes orcs, undead and elves while many of the champs are able to use magic to heal their wounds outta thin air, resurrect the dead, siphon lifeforces from their enemies and so forth?
I dont think you know this but in the real world, no amount of steel armor is going to protect you from a demon who can slice a man in half with magic....
Not to mention realistic armor is bulky and cumbersome. Providing some protection at the cost of agility. You cant move as fast. So the skimpy clad women are probably meant to represent that. Warriors who rely on speed and closing the distance to their opponents to engage in melee combat quickly vs lumbering around the battlefield as walking tanks.
Not to mention if you look at the factions rightnow...the sacred order women are bulked up and very heavily armored. The barbarians...they arent so much. Probably different tactics both factions use if we are talking "realism" here. And that's also pointing out that RAID already has what you are wanting but it's still somehow not good enough for you.
So I get you want more realism in a fantasy game involving anything creatures and magic but let's cut to the chase. You just want to score some brownie points with the SJW crowd is all this post was
