Slight Framer Buff

Postby SpiritWolfLord » Tue Sep 17, 2019 6:14 am

Framer is pretty much the weakest role in the game. It's only useful if there is a) a sheriff that happens to check the same target you frame, which requires you to get lucky, predict who will be checked, and for sheriff to not randomly check, and b) if there is no spy with the sheriff.

A simple buff would be to make it so that in addition to framer making them appear as sus, they also make it so that it seems their target did not visit. Meaning that they would still complete their role the same way they would have anyway, but to the lo/tracker, it would appear they did not visit. This would be a decent hit to the tplo meta that is often a guaranteed loss in higher ranks, while at the same time making framer more interesting to play.

I mean, how'd that work in the lore?
Though the hiding visits may seem like a good implementation, the reverse would have more uses. The reverse being faking or forging a visit which wouldn't make sense for the Framer honestly. My Disguiser buff does exactly this (from my Mafia megathread). It disguises themself as any player and visits a player using their face and name. So the Lookout can see a Mafia confirmed as TP or a Town suspicious since they visited a player but doesn't claim to visit them etc. It would create false leads for town rather than hiding confirmed roles, it has more deceptive capabilities.

Any kind of buff applied to the Framer should increase utility among all Town Investigatives, not add more power against the Sheriff and Investigator.
