I'd slightly disagree here, against heavy archers it's actually not a bad idea to use slingers.
Sure. Some attacks does not even hit (that's for missiles only), most attacks are stopped by armour, shield and defense (that's for melee only) and some attacks do not kill but only throw the enemy down (that's for melee only). That's the system. It would be crazy if every hitting stone would kill the unit.
Just to let you know: It's mentioned that in fact the imperial archers used shields, they should get MORE defense against missiles not less.
EDIT: Every reduction of armour would make the archer weaker against everything not only against slingers.
