Doing some analyses and I need a list of all past role-lists along with the date ranges they were active.
From the wiki and patch notes I've compiled the following so far:
I'm trying to be as specific as possible, so literally any information would be helpful, even if to confirm what I already have. In particular though, I'm looking to verify a few points:
1) That I'm not missing any modes/role-lists (even temporary ones, like the 3-day ranked list this pre-season)
2) That the dates I have are as exact as possible (e.g. while the most recent ranked list update was posted on 2020-11-09, the actual date of the patch may have been later)
3) That some of the obscure role-lists are correct (e.g. the mid-2017 ranked practice list, found in wiki edit history)
4) That the orders the roles appear in are exact (e.g. sheriff before doctor in classic) - this is important because of matches starting with partially-filled lobbies, so for modes where starting with less than 15 has never been possible, this won't matter
The biggest hurdle for me in putting this together myself is that there really don't seem to be any true sources of information out in the open, as older patch notes don't provide the role-lists themselves, or otherwise don't even exist (where is 1.4.2??), so I've mostly relied on the correctness of wiki editors.
All help is appreciated
