If you want to support Bayek after this, that's totally fine by me, but there's some problems with this vote regardless.

1.

"The hooked nature of the blade can effectivly get around shield and also pierce armor fairly easily."

The Khopesh isn't designed to pierce armor in any way, it's designed for slashing and hooking enemies. It's not practical for Bayek to use it as a piercing/thrusting weapon as it doesn't really function in that manner. I agree that it's the better weapon, but to claim it can easily pierce armor is simply incorrect.

2.

"While Alexios is slightly more experienced, Bayek is a much more trained and experienced fighter. "

I don't know what this sentence means, this is probably a typo, but Alexios is the more experienced one here so I think you mean stealthy or something else

3."While Alexios has better armor on paper, it is even out when considering that just about all of Bayeks weapons can pierce or serious damage his armor. In both the game and the game trailers we see that Bayek can quite easily shoot his arrows into and at times all the way through the Armor of the Greek Egyptian soldiers."

If you want to prove that Bayek can use his bow to straight up ignore Alexios' armor, you can't just say the gameplay and game trailers say he can, as this doesn't definitively prove this converts over to easily piercing Alexios' armor.Like if I said Torbjorn's turret from Overwatch had infinite ammo just because we never see it run out in game.There's nothing else besides the gameplay to back that up. If you can prove this otherwise with outside lore or evidence i'd be glad to change my opinion.

4. I believe you downplay Alexios' abilities in general. You entirely ignore his superhuman strength and durability which allows him to take in more damage even if Bayek gets through his armor. I also think you're putting way too much emaphasis on Bayek's stealth, treating it as if Alexios cannot keep up with it. Alexios at the end of the day is also an assassin and isn't going to be completely caught off guard by another one.
