Rogues, rangers, DEX fighters, bards, Hexblade warlocks, and DEX paladins all wear armor. It sounds like your complaint is that the paladin should be awesome at everything with no tradeoffs. If what you want is to be badass with a Greatsword and super tough and sneaky and nimble and an adept bow fighter, the class for that is Fighter. You could also 1-dip into Barbarian. Or 1-dip Hexblade.  You could be a half-elf and start with the array 16/14/14/8/8/14. Or you could go 10/16/16/8/8/16, wear medium armor, and fight with light weapons.Lots of ways to get decent DEX as a paladin. It has tradeoffs, but every class has tradeoffs. You chose a powerful melee class with built-in spell casting, yes, there are tradeoffs in the form of MAD and being weak at range.</blockquote>
