People playing the Gargoyle like an 80 ton Timberwolf are doing it wrong.

You have to play the Gargoyle like the Honeybadger IIC.

People are going to play the Sexecutioner like it's a Clan Highlander or Wubshee and ***** about how it's bad.

Wut? The Executioner will make a much better Wubshee than the Wubshee. Same firepower, better cooling, better speed, better tankiness, better agility.

And Clan Highlander? Why would anyone want to play a Executioner like a tremendously lackluster mech?

I loved the Gargoyle so I'll love the Gladbag.

Meh, it's a $30 novelty. I can wait for it. The Cauldron Born, in comparison, looks like it'll be a usurping the #1 spot for Clan heavies or coming in at a very close #2. I wouldn't mind having an executioner if it was free, and it definitely looks cool, but as you said for the Garbro, not $30 cool.

Yeah.
I'm calling, "new timby"

I'm mostly worried about getting burned by the Light mech in this pack, like how I did with the Mist Lynx. God, what an awful mech...
The Gargoyle is pretty decent, I think it's pretty underestimated, but with that being said it IS basically an 80-ton Timberwolf with worse hitboxes and less pod space. I hope that they give it some better quirks one day, if they do so it should balance things out.

As for the Executioner, I also felt iffy about it when I was pre-ordering my pack. I decided to splurge because I realized that the mech will be pretty fantastic after some time spent theorycrafting. It will be capable of running guass+MPLs for days, ERLL, LPL, UAC/20+2ERLL+a billion small lasers, etc. Going to be fantastic to play, mostly because of the variety that this single mech chassis represents.

I wouldn't worry about the cheetah. Unless they make it bigger than the Firestarter, it's gonna be a solid #1 or #2 mech.

It's 30 tons, going at 142.6 Kph with speed tweak, has Endo, FF, ECM, and uses clan tech weapons, which are a great boon for lighter mechs, since clan weapons on average, tend to be smaller, and lighter. The C config is gonna match any firestarter in the firepower department. I just hope PGI doesn't preemptively nerf it.
