Pyramid Head feels clunky

I've recently bought the Executioner after watching some videos. Tho, I didn't expect for his power to feel so sluggish. I'm talking about his main special attack: Punishment of the damned. On paper it sounds a lot fun, but in reality it feels slow and predictable. Even with aura-reading perks I'm missing almost all my shots. The funny thing is that the best use for his power seems to be to fake it and just use a regular attack.

I feel like I'm sweating too much for the entire match just to get tbagged in the end. I'm not sure I want to keep trying when there are killers who are stronger, easier and simply more fun to use.

What do you think? Do you agree? Am I overreacting and should just git gud?

(Btw, I also know about flick shots, but they just feel like even more clunky and unintended as a mechanic)
