Taking a double check at the Ranger/Druid changes, this is not a bug. Only Barbarians lose their Move Speed in heavy armor, Rangers only get theirs in wilderness area's.

Rangers are plenty of strong.

If movement speed is working in full plate, sounds like rangers are already OP.

I think this thread has brought about some good suggestions.  

I especially like the idea of changing how FE works. Rather than a brutal AB bonus, implement flavourful perks tailored to counter the chosen ennemy's abilities.

Another option would be to reduce the power of basic ranger abilities, and give them specialized background. Those could either be, like suggested, very ''basic'' ones (Trapper, Survivor, Gatherer, Bounty hunter) or more ''magic'' ones (Wild child, roaming defiler, etc).

Three different routes to explore to give player more choice on how they fit their concept to the mechanics.
