    Because he was designed to have no armor rating, that's why ...
    He is a glass cannon champ. He doesn't rely on armor or defense, just attack

    i know he has great attack ability. but whats the point if he cant survive .and to add to hes great armor ,max glass canon to reduce hes health by 7.2% , and hes overall health is not that great compared to other champs.

    mr know it all, thank u for stating the obvious. i use IF alot and i cleared 90% of the game using him . but for him to get ko or lose 70 to 80% of health after blocking a few hit simply is not faire to the player.

    ROCKET RACCOON has armor… this is an invalid argument

    No it isn't. Is true that Iron fist was designed to not have armor rating. Simple as it is.

    great idea so lets make a champ with zero defensive bability, and make champs that can kill without touching .

    RR has the highest base attack in game, a really good damage boosting Signature, and low health. THAT is a glass cannon.

    And let’s not forget Iron Fist’s bleed counter part Black Panther… basically IF with Bleed instead of Breaks. Or what about Medusa being a combination of them both plus more!

    @eXtripa69

    A glass cannon should only be applied when it’s FAIR! Rocket has his armor but his health is deplorable, his attack is amazing making ok. If anything balqnce should be him having a lot more armor than say… Medusa or AA!

    Well to be fair, rocket has somewhat of a suit on him that looks like armor.
    But yeah IF needs some physical resistance or something.

    Yeah, but @eXtripa69 you know perfectly well that he was designed before diminishing returns killed off his two major sources of damage; by reducing the effectiveness of a high critical rating as well as the value of stacking armour breaks.

    So his design is no longer valid. But as I say, you knew that.

    @Mr_Otter makes good points. Iron Fist could seriously do with a buff to make up for his nerfing by Diminishing Returns. That could be done through a bit of armour, better blocking skill (or even a bit of auto-blocking for the Champion on K'un Lun) or a bit of basic evasion. Especially the IIF version, which is incredibly rare, and supposed to be a better, rather than a worse version of the original.

    That’s not really a good arguement...

    Hulk just has shorts and Rogue has a thin body suit, both have initial armor.
    BP CW has his vibranium suit, no initial armor.

    I’m not arguing for or against armor on Iron Fist, but the reasoning in this comment isn’t that good.

    Iron fist is a terrible hero. Diminishing returns killed his attack. He’s useless on defense and on offense he does little. I just duped the 5 star POS. He’s about as bad as She-Hulk (aka “Rage Quit”). He’s one of the many champs no one wants.
