Iron banner Armor drops

How is it possible that after more than 25 HOURS of playing Iron Banner, I still only have TWO Tier 5 Helmet pieces? Neither of them having the archetype that I have equipped on my ghost?

    In Iron Banner, weapons seem to drop at a rate far higher than armor does. Your best bet would be to focus specific armor pieces at Saladin using the Ciphers. IB is gone now but better luck next month!

It should work in the way that if we choose a specific archetype ALL ARMOR should drop with that archetype. That way all we have to do is farm the 3rd random stat for the armor piece we want. So annoying grinding the same activity for hours just to hope we get the armor piece we want with the archetype and stats we want! Too much RNG for armor…
