And they do own. But when the general concensus of players who don't know much about Kheldians is they are gimp, it makes me wonder what sort of builds and styles they "have" played with to have such an outlook.

I do not believe if the majority of Khelds owned there would be such a unilateral opinion of us being a gimpy AT.

I think this fact alone requires we ask ourselves "why is it so?".

Here's the thing... to be efficient means to execute the most simple sequence of the most easily repeated actions that gain you the most rewards per activation. I don't care how you build your Kheldian, but a Warshade while being one of the most, if not the most, sophisticated killing machines Blueside, is too sophisticated to be considered "simple" enough to be as efficient as a Scrapper for example.
Most people who have seen me play my TriFormShade in real life and have spent a few minutes to understand my shifting style and the effort I've spent to learn and build my WS are very impressed with the raw carnage that's left in my black/purple wake, but when they see a Scrapper, they still figure the Scrapper is so much simpler to handle, therefore so much more efficient... good luck diffusing that bomb mate! 
That's my perception of the problem of course, and YMMV and all that, but still, no one can deny that TriForm Kheldians (or even Human-only) have a playstyle to them that is usually more involved and requires more game-mechanics know-how and ingenuity.

I agree, Khelds are definitely more involved. A couple of weeks back I was on the infamous DR. Q TF with my Triformer WS. No tank on the team, so I was part tank, part blaster, part vampire and was pulverizing the foes. Quite fun.

And the chance to mess things up if you're not on top of things, is 3 times than it would be if you had but one role...
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

This.
I think this is another reason Warshades get such a bad rap (I should have said Wrap, but I'm not sure anyone remembers that.)
Seriously, on my Dwarfshade if I pop out of dwarf to Eclipse during a long fight, and die in the process, I get blamed hardcore for dropping dwarf. No matter the excuse. When I did use nova, every time a knockback happened I got yelled at. Every time I pulled too much aggro, I got yelled at.
Seriously, when playing multiple AT's at once, you have to take in account that we have multiple AT's worth of mistakes that we have to be ready to counter.

Good thing I didn't mess up then. Tray buttons set up to trigger simultaneous transformation plus tray change to the tray I set that forms powers in, plus a tray button to revert to human or squid and change tray at same time.
Was using my stealth+super speed for ghosting, teleport+Assemble team vet power to warp the team to correct areas, plus I was transforming so much a few joked that I was having an identity crisis.

Your answer being, the majority of humans being lazy and dumb strikes true. Lucky for us we are Kheldians.

If you PL'd to 50 just to get an "epic" thinking you'd be �ber, you're going to be sorely disappointed with the HEATs, because the VEATs were designed so that anyone with one good finger and a braincell can rock the toggles.

Your Kheldian might be a redneck if you have more than three fluffies, and they're all named "c'mere boy"
