Alright, before I start, I would like to remind people this is a suggestion, not a mod. Or a place you can yell at me from. So... let us begin!
I would like to give armour a brand new shine, and a brand new armor as well! Here is our system right now..
Gold
Leather
Iron
Diamond
That's all our armour right now. Gold is weak, leather is as weak as gold, iron is decent, and diamond is a waste, you can get more use out of a diamond pickaxe and shovel than that armour, and armor SLOWS you down. So armour does not seem worthwhile to create. How can we change that?
HERE IS HOW WE CAN CHANGE THAT! Gold should be removed from the armor teirs. If people want to keep it in, then it should be turned into a gold crown, a gold curaiss, gold leggings and gold boots. With a speed rating of 0.8. Why 0.8 you ask? Ok, let's say your base speed is...about 1. (1= 100% speed) We have to put in the factors that the armour is metal, so it should slow you down 20%. 100-20= 80% speed. Simple math. Debate on if gold should stay. I say it should not. And leave Notch to give a use to gold. (Stats on gold will stay the same. Except with speed.)
Now that we changed gold completely. How about that weak leather? Well, not so weak. Leather is easy to find, and easy to use. I already explained the speed rating, so the speed rating is 95%. Why you may ask? Well, lets see, the leather is hypothetically hard, and, how he Steve bound it is a mystery. So 95% speed is perfect, the armour is not so fast, not so slow. But it has an advantage over the powers of spider attacks, (the fangs can't pierce our cool armour.) BUT. It has a weakness to fire! (Let's see, if fire is burning you in your LEATHER armour, it would do a heart more damage than not wearing armor.) The spider, let's face it. He has fangs. It's not like his fangs are made of hard metal. So, leather armour is weak against fire, while resisting spider damage. (Same protection stats except the other weaknesses.)
Iron is up next on the revamp! You already know about the speed rating, the speed rating of iron is 70%. It's iron, and in the regular game, we move like it's made of air. And it doesn't look like it is jointed. And it's resistances? Spider fangs and arrows. (Spiders, obvious, arrows, it's not crossbow bolts is it?) But it's weaknesses, fire. (Let's get cooked in a pan.) Then...what's it's second weakness?! I have to say...WATER! Why water you may ask? Well, iron can rust. Correct? When you swim in water. You swim like you normally do. BUT! As you swim longer, it loses durabillty. (Leather is fine. Gold is similar. The leather let's you swim without the pain of losing durability.) Then if it loses durability, then it would get weaker. Simple as that. (Same protection stats except for the other weaknesses.)
Diamond. DIamond diamond... the strongest armour in the game. You have half speed. (50% speed.) It's heavy, and it's non-jointed too! So it's half speed. It has similar advantages and disadvantages. Except for the water. Since it is 50% speed reduction. (Same protection stats except for the weaknesses.)
But what about our new armour that I suggested? Yeah, if GOLD get's removed, then what should take it's place? Wood armour. I know what your thinkin, BUT ZINC! WOOD ARMOUR IS SUGGESTED AND A BAD IDEA TROLOLOL. Well, MY idea is different. You craft the helm like normal, but you use a stick in the gap between the two pieces of wood. (Much like a face guard. You know what I'm sayin?) There is also the chest plate. How? Well like this:
[]
Well, the spider is string. You can get string easily. (Spiders in the morning.) And the pants and boots the same.
This is an odd setup. Right? Well here are the stats:

So. If you didn't bother to read this whole thing, then...here is a tl;dr.
TL;DR:
Armour gets a huge revamp. Add odd wood armour. JUST READ IT. ALRIGHT?!
I hope you like this idea. And I hope you would support it.
Armor is fine the way it is. It hinders you already.
Removing gold armor is dumb. Aside from clocks, making a shiny armor and sword is the only use for it so far, and if you remove that, you basically remove gold's uses. Granted, nobody really WEARS the golden armor, but it's shiny, to show off, not for fighting.
Your idea about burning and getting more damage out of leather armor than if you were wearing no armor, I find it silly. I find it silly because then you made a wooden armor, but didn't say it'd be even worse than the leather (and it should be).
Basically, this whole post is pointless.
We don't need Rust, we don't need super slow-down for the better armors, we don't need a wooden armor, we don't need any of this crap.
Also, I'm done with my "Checker" work for the night.

You see the thing I underlined, that is the only thing I disagree with from what you've said, Armor is not worth it, I'm currently making a thread on how to improve armour and what not....so yeah

As mods, go ahead, go crazy. In the vanilla game, leave it as it is.
So Basically think there is no way for Armour to become better in any way? (and keeps it's simplicity)
No, that's not what I meant.
See, if we keep "asking for more stuff" to improve what has already been set in place so far, we'll never get any new content from the team for the actual vanilla game. We'll just get updated versions of things already in the game. So, "FOR NOW", armor is fine the way it is.
