Faction Armors?
At some point I'd like to see an effort be put into making faction specific armor sets for all characters. It's always bugged me to be with Vikings/Knights/Samurai and always found an affinity to play a character of the opposing faction, either by habit or preference.
The "House Champion" mythic outfit allows you to have the symbols of the three factions on your characters, which is great if you're a Samurai but main a viking or a Knight who mains a Samurai, now your character can properly display their alligence for all to see.
Except these outfits are limited till the end of the event.

Since this year won't focus on adding new heroes (I assume that at least) perhaps now it's a good time to pool some reasources into creating armor sets that fit with the different factions, as well as an option to explore new and unique styles and I mean create new armor designs from scratch as opposed to just re-use existing ones.
How would a Kensei look in a knightly armor? How much more "Chaos Warrior" would Lawbringer look as a Viking? Can Gladiators fashion be improved with some viking furs and a more tribal look?
Would also provide some more variation and mix and match options as well.

This is just a request, I just think that armors like these would help make your chosen hero fit with your faction of choice better if that hero isn't part of that faction by already.
I started this game as a Viking, who mained Lawbringer and I still main a knight hero, the Gladiator, but I don't think aestethically Gladiator fits in with the Vikings, but they could!

A Gladiator with a wolf fur pelt hanging over their shoulders similar to Raider or Warlord doesn't sound like a bad image ;)

I had the same idea but with, what I considered, more lore friendly Scavenged armor, as means to represent your faction regardless of what hero you play.
Glad I'm not the only one that sees this potential.

I personally would love that.
Or just new armor designs overall, I'm getting pretty tired of X, X with spikes, X with different detailing, X with spikes and different detailing etc...

Eventually they may have to try and create new armors, as different variations of the same set might grow stale eventually.
And might as well create some more theme armors, such Gladiator with Viking/Samurai themed armor or Kensei with Knight/Viking themed armor.

I concur.
