I think as the community was saying there is a lack of ranged support and if you play a long range Exemplar many of the worn Ikons do not have a benefits for your allies, this makes chosing a bow as your weapon Ikon feel worse at the moment.
Also there is no support for any unarmored or unarmed Exemplar, this feels like it was a mistake, maybe we all are misunderstanding the "Normal guy wearing a toga" as Scar of the Survivor or Skin hard as horn. Perhaps the playtest does support unarmored with the seer amount of healing you can get...Are Fists considered simple weapons and would humble strikes boost them to d6s?
And for all who are saying why light armor only? I agree that having higher armor is a good thing, no other strength martial gets only light armor, even Ruffian Rogues get Medium armor however there is always the Sentinel Archetype, which sure is 1 feat drop but it gives you that wonderful medium armor, or more somehow if you get it after General Training Medium Armor to get Heavy.
We should also get an Ikon for an animal companion, many heroes have loyal animals that follow them around and act as their best friends.
