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

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.

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.
