Role Balance

Postby JacksonVirgo » Fri Sep 13, 2019 4:37 am

To keep balance within Town of Salem would you rather we buff/nerf all existing roles that need it to until we find balanced gameplay or add new roles which make the game more balanced?

I personally prefer the former, how about you? Created a poll to give your answer and reply if you wish to explain it.

For the most part, the existing roles in TOS need to be altered (particularly Spy, most Town Support roles, and most Mafia Deception roles). The only role I think needs to be added is the Osservatore (to prevent the instant of the Lookout).

RNG is never good for any strategy based game. Please learn the definition of what that means, especially if you're one of the people constantly defending it.

Watcher feels a little underwhelming compared to the other Mafia Support roles; I prefer the Osservatore because it adds slightly more power, however, I would be fine if it was just the Watcher that was added.

Could you link me to those two roles? That'd be appreciated, not sure if I've seen 'em on here before (I may have forgotten about them)

I believe that Watcher is just a Lookout, and Osservatore is a Lookout+Tracker. I could be wrong though...

I feel like Town power needs to be formed somehow, so Jailor/Mayor/Retri, I'd say mayor's prob the most underpowered out of town power so I'd let docs be able to heal them. (This creates non swing with doc randomly spawning instead of BG, Doc/Bg can already spam heal jailor/Retri).

Changes to Spy, framer, Forger and disguiser, Exe/Jester removed/Rework for Ne's like Witch to be spawned instead of just a Nb role that spawns in ne (Jester/Exe).

WW removed or put into Neutral chaos maybe some slight nk buffs or something.
