Easiest role to win as?

Postby fwogcarf » Sun Feb 18, 2018 3:52 pm

Even though I have almost 140 wins on ToS, what role do you guys think wins the most games?

I'd say simply being town wins you the most games, but there's also exe/jester, which can give you many easy wins (if you're lucky enough to not be killed by mafia as jester and if town is not passive)

I'm normally pretty lucky as Jester. However, I'd say basically all Town roles, especially Jailor, are the easiest to win as.

Also, people are saying Plaguebearer is really hard, but that's not true at all. PB/Pest have won in about 5% of the Coven games I've played.
Hi. I'm an enormous wild card. About half of the time, I'll carry. The other half of the time, I'll be 5 IQ. Half of the time, I'll play super aggressively. The other half, I'll play it really safely.

79 wins as sheriff, 64 wins as mafioso 60 wins as godfather 53 wins as surv 15 wins as SK 38 wins as jester

..my top in all but NC (which is just vampires in classic)

so in somewhere around 2600-3k games played sheriff is my highest winning role. Vampire Hunter is my lowest. Rarest role in the entire game.

I can count on my hands how many times I've been a VH, and I started right after the introduction

Arsonists is the easiest role.
Jailor is the hardest btw.

Define high elo, because I'm high elo and arsonist wins are not impossible, but rare.

I have a 30:1 scum:town exe ratio, and I play like a normal player. It just doesn't seem that hard to fuck up.

If you're a decent strategist, the "leader" roles...Jailor, Mayor, Godfather, Coven Leader will definitely be the easiest. Coven Leader especially is a thinker's role, as one needs a grasp of the mechanics of all of salem to win.

Of the non-leader roles, I would say...

Sheriff for Classic - You just point and click.
Transporter for Coven - A few good scumreads makes you no less a master manipulator than Coven itself. It edges out Sheriff for one reason: Hex Master.
Image
Favorite roles: Jailor, Executioner, Consigliere, Witch, Coven Leader, Guardian Angel
Least favorite: Framer, Disguiser, Jester
Most broken IMO:
Jester - Revert the 2.3.0 patch, give a swiss army knife of nighttime annoyance (ala Potion Master) to aid in fooling the town. Just some kind of agency.
Psychic - Game-breaking enough that I made a thread about it.

VIP - The one true mode.

Executing badly isn't the only way jailors can fuck up.

I second this. In one game, the Jailor absolutely refused to execute anyone. He didn't execute the confirmed Executioner (who was confirmed for like three days) until the day before town lost majority. Then, had the Jailor executed the confirmed evil (if he had just looked at the rolelist), it'd be 2v2 instead of 2v3, and the Jailor would have an execution remaining.
