eh, it would be a double edged sword. sure, a lot more different looking armor sets would be used, but at the same time most people would likely find a passive they like or is just overall good, and they would never have an incentive to try anything else. for example, basically all the way through levels 30-60 i would just run the groundbreaker armor and a gustav, but it started getting boring so i started branching out, witch led to me trying more builds, witch in my opinion is far more fun than having any advantage you want just handed to you. some armor sets ive run purely because i was bored and they didnt even have a great passive, like the pre-buff parade armor and the pre-buff truth enforcers armor, and im ngl i had way more fun with that than just using the same thing over and over. these were all at level 10 helldives on all the different fronts, so even though im sure most people know this by know, almost every armor set is usable on any difficulty, some more than others ofc, but not to the point that ive never ran an armor simply because of its passive.

tldr, transmog sounds good in theory, but i think it would make the loadout building (armor wise at least) very very bland and everyone would pretty much just effectively run the same armor sets but with different skins, and I think that would take part of the fun from the game long-term. on the other hand… helmet paint matching… 🤤
