I know what you mean, and it would be really cool to have armor based on what the characters are ACTUALLY wearing, although

A) Gibraltar is already extremely fortified so this would be a problem having too much health + arm shield

B) Its just going to become to complicated, like honestly players are just going to complain that "Pathfinders metal!" and "Octane is wearing nothing" its just gonna be messed, though i really like the idea but yeah.

@hhnbbfggty66 Pathfinder has the smallest hitbox. Proof? He's almost literally twice as tall as the two people you've listed as the smallest, and wider.

50% damage reduction... Welcome to the new meta where every team's 3rd player quits because caustic and gibraltar are already taken.

This is a very bad idea.

Sorry to sound niave but what is wrong with how it stands atm?&nbsp;

hhnbbfggty66 · Answer

@WHITEyy6969The problem is Lifeline, Wraith, and Pathfinder takes more damage.

Why nerf the health of smaller hitbox characters, when an armor system can be added to simply adjust the health based on character Volume.

I think Lifeline, Wraith, and Pathfinder health should not be nerfed but and Armor system should be introduced because It is a simple solution that fixes and streamlines the correction.

hhnbbfggty66 · Answer

@AnlbrdWell, Pathfinder has a small hitbox by volume.

Gibraltar and Caustic are at a disadvantage and has been since the beginning of the game!

The reason you are resistant, is because you are accustom to Gibraltar and Caustic being bad.

Gibraltar is more than twice the size and volume of Wraith.

His body armor needs to be justified!

Also shooting at a pathfinder is like shooting at a skeleton.
