I am a fan of the armor affecting speed thing, but this isn't the way to work it.

I would suggest that for every piece of armor you wear, it slows you down by a certain amount proportionate to the amount of protection it has and the amount of durability it has.

There would be acceptions, of course, such as Mithril armor or other "special" sets, but for the most part, wearing a full set of super protective armor would slow you down to a level comparable to Slowness 2, while wearing a full set of, say, warg fur would hardly make any difference. I igree that speeding up while wearing armor doesn't make ANY sense, and is a pretty bad idea (even tho i said that myself). have you ever tried fighting with slowness?

Maybe slowing down is not a that bad of an idea, but i can't win a fight with slowness 2.

Slowness has a pretty big effect on Melee.

Also, (cross)bow's would be broken against heavy armor players. wear no or light armor,  2 arrows, run away while laying down arrows and dodge their arrows. A slow player is a huge target and cannot dodge (well). The heavy armor player would have to take of their armor to even get close to the shooter, while taking arrows.
