I love the Executioner, because it is one of the mobile assaults out there that I can pilot. For me, it was never about the 80kph it can reach with the masc, but the extreme mobility it brings that is honestly somewhat foreign for clan-mechs in general.
I honestly think that trading turn-rate for forward speed is a neat idea, if there's a lot of agility in the first place, the masc agility-boost could have been trivial, and stood to be lost.
MASC could have been better tuned as a result, like faster recharge rate; faster forward speed; lesser leg damage reduction. Not this garbage.
Yes, I think the execution is bad, but if they were to redo the concept again, I think they should start when there's overall better agility, one which they can stand the reduction and it's an adequate drawback in using MASC.
