We’ve featured Duelyst before, so the quality of the designs isn’t the surprise – it’s them being praised like they’re something exceptional. In the interest of fairness, let me share the positive example from the article:

And the guy is in a huge hulkling piece of armor.

And give me a lightly armored male rogue who is flexible always manages to dodge at the last moment….
Actually screw the guy. Make them both women. And they are a couple.
give me a polyamorous group of women in huge bulky armor. Polyarmorous.
Give me a whole knightly order of awesome paladins who are all girlfriends with each other and wear armor that, like real-life armor did, basically makes them into walking tanks.

Four medievalist photographs by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll)
Rose Lawrie in ‘Waiting for the Trumpet’, 7 July 1875. Wearing chain-mail specially made by Henry Holiday, illustrator of The Hunting of the Snark.
Evelyn Dubourg as ‘Joan of Arc’, 12 July 1875 (two versions)
Marion Terry as ‘Fitz-James’, 12 July 1875. Interestingly ‘Fitz-James’ is a male character from Sir Walter Scott’s The Lady of the Lake; the photograph is inscribed with a quote from the poem.UM. THIS IS GREAT. Reblogging for posterity + future reference.
Some basic truths remain eternal – one of those is that women in great armor look awesome.
