I don't know who the armor design lead is over there at Bungie, but stop, just stop. Whoever is approving these designs needs to be replaced by a Titan main, or at least be heavily advised by one. Titan's are not trash collectors, they don't lather themselves with honey and jump into a pile of junk and call it armor, so stop making them look like it.
We don't want GIGANTIC shoulders, we don't want skintight chest pieces that don't match the shoulders, and we want helmets that look unique and cool. and for the love of all that is good stop making us skip leg day (looking at you Peacekeepers). AT THE VERY LEAST be consistent!
Stop slapping cubes and spheres on our shoulders and calling it a day. Bring back the designers from D1, bring back the design lead from D1, There was so much more good options in D1, most everything flowed nicely, you could mix and match and still look decent. If you mix and match in D2 you end up having harsh transitions and it's not appealing!
Armor Pieces that (in my personal opinion) look decent in D2: (underlined is my current armor set)
[b]Helmets:[/b] [u][armory]Winterhart Helm[/armory][/u], [armory]Iron Truage Helm[/armory](OG), [armory]Annihilating Helm[/armory], [armory]Helm of Saint-14[/armory](D1 so duh), [armory]Midnight Exigent Helm[/armory]
[b]Arms:[/b] [u][armory]Iron Truage Gauntlets[/armory](OG)[/u], [armory]Omega Mechanos Gauntlets[/armory], [armory]Midnight Exigent Gauntlets[/armory]
[b]Chest:[/b] [u][armory]BrayTech Iron-Heart Engine[/armory][/u], [armory]Exodus Down[/armory], [armory]Omega Mechanos Plate[/armory], [armory]Phoenix Strife Type 0[/armory]
[b]Legs:[/b] [u][armory]Peacekeepers[/armory](but could be beefier)[/u], [armory]BrayTech Sn0Boots[/armory], [armory]Dunemarchers[/armory](Love the design, hate the perk)
[b]Marks:[/b] [u][armory]Mark Relentless[/armory][/u], [armory]Midnight Exigent Mark[/armory](wish it was longer), [armory]Winterhart Mark[/armory]
What a short list! You can see that there are certain sets that look good.
So whoever designed these sets, good job! Put them up on the board and stare at them for hours and then compare the new designs and say "do these new designs have elements of these armor pieces?" and if they don't TRY AGAIN!
The Forsaken armor (the little that we've seen) looks like the downfall of all Titan armor as we know it. It is the definition of "Throw a bunch of junk from a scrapyard together and call it armor"
I desperately hope Bungie changes their design philosophy for Titans in D2. Titan's want to look just as fabulous as Hunters, but with a focus on looking cool and awesome. Make the "tank" character actually look good, sharp angles, good transitions between armor, none of this "basic shapes" nonsense! Please, PLEASE. I want to feel cool! I want to feel like a Titan! Not your definition Bungie!
Edit: A few people don't like that I'm speaking for Titans as a whole, but what I can tell you that if you are a Titan and you like the current aesthetic of Titan armor, you are the minority. As seen by the multitude of up-votes on this post. I'm really glad there are people that do like how Titan's look now, but understand that a large majority of Titans do not.

Bungie hates Titans. Simple. They all play Warlocks and Hunters at home, and at work they go about trying to make those two classes the best while doing all they can to make Titans the worst. Shoulder Charge? Yeah you can have it as a One Charge melee ability that doesn't actually kill anything apart from a few Red Bar enemies in Patrol. We could make it so the one charge one hits people...but then we'd get killed by it, so lolno. Or make it a constant ability and not OHK...nah too much effort. Striker Super? Yeah you can run after people with it but they'll be faster than you and kill you while you try to get close enough to kill them, also we'll give it the longest activation animation so you can be one shot by power weapons before you hit them. Armour? Eh what ever, who cares. We made enough cool stuff for our Warlock and Hunter mains so just throw some trash together and give it to them. Whatever. Did everything I could to get the Omega Mechanos set from Season 2 because its the only decent looking set out there. IB Trauge Season 1 is a close second. Hated the S2 Shredder Ornaments and the Crumpled Aluminum Can S3 ones too so havent even bothered playing IB. Oh and for the best looking Titan set? They stuck it behind Level 7 of EP so 99% of Titans will never get to see it. Bungie hates Titans and really couldn't give a shit what they look like or how they preform. (If you play Warlock or Hunter, good for you. I have one each of those. Titan is my main though and it pisses me off to see how much Bungie just doesn't care.)
