Some people here argue that Executioner is more fun to play. But obviously that is just an objective opinion, since i e.g. enjoy protecting players more than hunting them down as Executioner, so that argument is kinda invalid

i suppose, but personally, I've come across a lot more people who like exe.

It is also far easier to win as Guardian Angel than with the Executioner. Often times Executioners are super obvious, especially if you look at ranked games. '''eh, every role is hard to win as when you play it badly. Executioners aren't that obvious as long as you don't do the ordinary "I'm sheriff and jimbob is mafia"''' You could theoretically claim Guardian Angel D1 and confirm yourself the following night of course, even though that bears some risks. You might get targetted by a certain faction, but you instead gained another faction's trust.

Even if the faction that wants to get you killed actually kills you, you can still fulfill you objective, since the GA is able to use their abiltity even when dead. This alone basically makes revealing D1 a 0 risk strategy, since the Killers have higher priority targets. and this is hey exe has immunity.

If you should run out of protections and your target gets killed, it is still a lot easier for you to win. The Guardian Angel's target has probably been confirmed by that point, so if you claim GA --> Surv most people should believe that claim, since it is pretty much confirmed. '''true, but a skilled player, heck, even I, could persuade the town that instead of being an obvious exe, they're an evil role trying to get a townie hanged. And yes, if you're a confirmed ga, it's commonly easy to win, but killers still sometimes attack survivors if they said they side with town. All this provided the GA is actually confirmed, which doesn't alway happen.'''

Often times when you are Executioner and claim Sheriff for example, noone would believe that claim (even if you actually were Sheriff) '''nobody claims sheriff as exe anymore. This isnt classic 2 days after the gsmes relewse lol. '''as long as the NE is still alive or 2 people can actually confirm that claim. This results in the Executioner often times just randomly winning due to the town's stupidity or because their target is afk when put on trial. '''sometimes, yes. But that doesn't mean it takes no skill to win as exe. You said that claiming simply sheriff won't work yourself.'''

The Executioner role is always based on luck and varys in strength depending on how good the players are, while GA is consistent.

'''Sure, it is consistent, but a good, or even average player can usually outsmart most towns. Even if it isn't as consisting, I think it is effective.'''

Executioner on the other hand, turns into a Jester, which doesn't make life any easier for them. '''it doesnt, but life wasnt too bad befoe the transformstion anyway. This is actually quite worse since they can get shot by a Vigilante or even by the Mafia by mistake. By the time he turns into a Jester,  usually  its late game, and he either gets hung or ignored. '''Besides that, reaching their goal is way harder than just surviving. They actually have to get themselves lynched which is often times very hard to accomplish, especially in a ranked situation.
