Removing Town Protective slot in Ranked

[JacksonVirgo]

Not that I really want this to be the case but if a certain Town Protective role is not in the game, would that stop Jailor calling TP/LO as early?

Such as replacing it with another RT. Probably a stupid thing to bring up, but just I was thinking about it just now.

I don't think that would stop the TP/LO meta. The reason is that a TP role will usually exist, so it won't be worth it for the Mafia to take the risk of attacking the TP/LO call. Granted, the Jailor might be in trouble a few nights later, but by then the meta will have done its work.

the meta itself is SO retarded..the only way to win in meta is having -iq town...unless mafia itself is -iq then its a fair match after all lmao

I think a way to stop Jailor meta is to remove day 1 chat, not like it does anything else other than people vet baiting for whatever reason

Then it would just happen day 2. Besides, maybe day 1 chat was implemented for this exact reason.

A jailor isnt needed for TP/LO meta, thats just the optimal role for TP to be on n1. If TP wasnt there, any role could just as easily call for LO day 1, any townie with a visiting ability could visit them, and LO could confirm half the town.

Only way to stop the meta is to remove the LO because thats where the confirmation of roles comes from.

Coven has Crusader, a TP that kills 1 player that visits their target, so a LO could be killed by visiting the TP target, making the meta useless.

The other side of the coin is, these roles exist and have the abilities. Maybe the game was meant to be played that way?
