Does anyone else feel like it's wrong that town goes out of their way in 99% of games to give wins to Executioner and Jester?
I guess I'm just an asshole but I feel like every other role is competing and doing what they can to win and way too often those roles can just stay quiet, or even worse be an obvious and bad Exe/Jester and then still get wins out of it.
It seems so counter-intuitive since everyone else has to earn their win. Sometimes it can even cost town the game when they miscalculate the votes or remaining roles, but even when it's a free and clear win it still seems wrong to me.
I would say that more than half the times that role wins it's because of a free win given, and not because executioner did a good job of framing their target or Jester did a good job of acting sus, but not too sus.
In my opinion, if you do a bad job with your role, you deserve to lose, not be gifted a pity win.
Again, I'm sure I'm just an asshole, I mean why not give an extra win away if it doesn't hurt town, but once again I come back to just feeling like everyone else has to earn it and they don't.
I also feel like a confirmed Executioner is bad for Ranked/Ranked Practice. It's impossible to come out as Sheriff if you find a suspicious N1 and makes it harder to win as Executioner legitimately.
I would love to see Executioner replaced by Neutral Benign or Any, but that's a whole nother topic on the Ranked/Ranked Practice update and removal of NK. I really miss the days of NK, NE, NB, and Any way back when.
Anyway, that's my rant, let me know if you agree it's kinda of stupid to give away free wins to a bad play, or if I am, in fact, just an asshole.
