10v5 Ranked Role Lists for more Balanced Gameplay.

Postby FroggyMaybe » Sat Sep 17, 2022 12:48 pm

The Current 9v6 Ranked List is Heavily Town Favored, but a single mistake can lose you the game on either side.
In this thread i am posting a few of my role list Ideas For more balanced, and more Skill-Based Gameplay.
I WOULD do a strategic explanation with chess pieces, but that'd sound weird.

General Rolelist Housekeeping for the current 9v6.
- Exe is practically Impactless, so lets remove him and replace him with something else.
- Witch being Guaranteed allows the town to do much riskier plays at no fear of jest. Witch should be switched for an NE slot, to Stop town.
- 3 RT Slots and 2 TI slots Limit claimspace and are somewhat in favor of investigators.

Suggested Role Lists. (Warning: Colours May not be accurate.)
10v5
Rolelist with decently balanced numbers, as it gives evils more claimspace
Prototype 1
Jailor
TownInvestigative
TownProtective
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
Godfather
Mafioso
RandomMafia
RandomMafia
NeutralKilling

This is a generally nice prototype to have as it gives mafia lots of claimspace in 5 RT, whilst also making the town majority go down faster than just 1 kill per night.

Variation 1.1
Jailor
TownInvestigative
TownProtective
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
Godfather
RandomMafia

This would switch mafioso with RM, wich comes with some pros but also some cons.

Variation 1.1.1
Jailor
TownInvestigative
TownProtective
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown

Slight Change with Highened odds of an ambusher appearing, this is semily more balanced.

Variation 1.2

Jailor
TownInvestigative
TownProtective
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
Godfather

TownKilling
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
Godfather
Mafioso
RandomMafia

Vampire

I like the odds of a Vampire being in ranked. It could happen decently rarely if the planets aligned.

Version 1.9

Vigilante
TownInvestigative
TownProtective
TownKilling
TownSupport
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
RandomTown
Godfather
Mafioso
RandomMafia
RandomMafia
NeutralKilling

Why Always have a Jailor when you can switch it out for something like vigi? Atleast dont have to get lynched every time theres a confirmed vet now.


Personally, i like the idea of 10v5 being the ranked rolelist. It really Depends on your skill and not some shitty mistake if you win the game or not.
Neutral killing being removed was shit, as town could lose real numbers real rapidly.


In my opinion, rolelists should also vary. Maybe start off Ranked Practice with prototype 1, but add each of the rolelists to ranked queues. It'll be different every time and you'll REALLY need skill to put up with the different situations.


Ideas? let me know.
Germany loses the world cup. Again. Way to go, lads.

1.2 seems like the best, but some roles need changes to make it better

I think 1.3.1 is close to an ideal Ranked rolelist, but the biggest issue is that the game is too Townsided for a 10 Town rolelist to be viable, especially with 3 Mafia. But 10 Town is better than 9 since if it can be balanced for it would lead to longer games where either team can come back after making an error. Banning Jailor (and Mayor) would be a good start toward balancing a rolelist like this, and adding TMK would also help. I'm not sure what winrates would look like after those changes, but they should be close enough that any remaining difference could be accounted for in the Elo system.

Not Really for Neutral killing in ranked, Objectively they're more imbalanced for the game then Neutral benign, they randomly kill and screw over one side more then another they're literally kingsmakers that choose to get rid of someone from a random faction each night, people can say "oh nk can scum read lol" but if the entire town is struggling to scum read why would nk have any better idea on who to scum read, unless the NK is this super skilled player and town are dumb.

10v5 Is a great idea of paper, current existing problems with how roles such as: Jailor, Transporter, Spy, Lo, Mayor + More listed is the reason why 5v10 doesn't work and not actually because 10v5 is "town sided" arguably 10 citizens vs 5 Scum is insanely evil sided but when every role is a power role and in those power roles they have ways of confirming each other it becomes a mess of not finding scum it's more confirming a player, which is generally easy especially if you get lucky with which roles spawn in.

I don't mind confirmations or lowering pools of potential scum the problem is that the game gives no breathing room for scum but they also have 6 scum which is stupidly evil sided in anything that wouldn't have so many power roles like Jailor.

The main solution is changing town roles, nerfing easy confirmability, allowing things such as TMK and buffing mafias general power, so theirs more breathing room for mafia in how they can play making one mafia dc or mistake not a auto loss, but also if town makes a mistake they also are allowed some breathing room, It's a problem with how fast town are being confirmed more then a problem with 5v10 being "evil sided".
