    I wanna see heavy armored fighters rolling in the ground, unable to get up and then stomped by the boss.

    It's a misconception that full plate was so heavy that if you fell you couldn't get up. Plate was designed that it distributed the weight equally over the body so it did not impair maneuverability on the battlefield.

    There you go: Even the heaviest plate armor, typically weighing about 23 kilograms (50 lb), wasn’t much heavier than a modern soldier’s rucksack.

    Doesn't stop me from wanting it to happen, cause it'd be funny.
