idk there are some "heavy looking" armors of the medieval time. the reason why nobody wore armor on the battlefield in medieval europe is because they where serfs and the lords and kings where to cheap or poor to buy them armor, but take the Samurai of Japan. their soldiers all wore armor into battle and they where the most skilled warriors in the world at the time and armor is heavy and sometimes life saving. so heavy armor can save your life IF you know how to fight in it.
