Hello thar.
While playing the game these last couple of days I had a few real interesting ideas.
being the gaming nerd I am I play DND. I noticed that the most recent heroes have an almost mystical note to them.
So why not perhaps meet up with DND and Lord of the rings and come up with a very similiar game to for honor but utilize a little more of a fantasy aspect.

BASE IDEA:
you have another 3-4 factions that you group up with have your faction war and what not. but you end up having something where you have Human paladin vs a berserking Ork, and then maybe throw in some fey. or **** off with the ork nonsense and toss in lichs and ****. Taking a little from things like warhammer and warcraft and what not. not saying change the combat system or the fighting style. but the skills can be flavored a little more mystically. and certain aspects can become a tinny tiny bit more fantastical. Combat system is really becoming well tuned. Races and factions not real limited here but I am using the base races just to get idea across. Will totally play a tiefling(demon kin) paladin for the fey side just to **** with all misconceptions no care no restraint.

additions to this:

your arcade mode can become something like a game of Decent in terms of the story part of it. make dungeons and have a group or a solo run through and beat up some AI and get some loot. Hurray Loot!
this one next is a biggie.

Possible character creation.
choose race, choose weapon, Choose guild (role)
in choosing each of these you get to pick feats at each rank that are related to the race. choosing the weapon determines the move set as well as some feats/skills based on the weapon. and choosing the guild or role IE Vanguard/Assassin/Heavy/Hybrid gives you another set of feats to choose and may alter up some versions of attacks with the weapons. IE hyper armor/unblockable/undodgeable
The roles would also determine the type of armor the character would get.
or perhaps the faction you sign up with would determine the armor style.......have 4 sets or similiar styled armor altered a little for role and race maybe.....
admittedly looking at this from an asset creation path I'm both like OH YEAH! and OH NO!......but the idea still feels worth mentioning.

Alter Faction war to include a more campaign style fight. moving through a map of objectives kinda like a mortal Kombat tower or something like a faction war but more focused. or even have like a big bad AI faction that harasses the faction war causing the population to join in on a campaign against it resulting in a new battle map of players VS big bad. something like GoT where everybody gotta chip in to fight white walkers. reward the side who participates more.

and as just an addition to the base game as well as this one, include open field fights. something where there might be big lanes or tracks of land something akin to either Smite or Dynasty warriors. and set up areas to take that maybe give an advantage to the minions or send some officers to harass a lane. and the end result is a storming into the enemy camp and fighting their leader. sooooo like tug of war breach. more terrain less buildings. or go full on the moba style and have like small turret forts that can be taken. maybe if the map size is really big increase player size to 6v6. Have the boss flanked by two mini bosses (guardians) so it isn't just 6vKing.

anyway. I want to make games for a living. trying to find my way in. here are my ideas I wanted to share just because.
