Will Mafioso ever be made interesting?

Postby Krizalid » Sat Jan 09, 2021 5:41 pm

I know telling developers to "make X interesting" or "make Y good" is a bit much; but for Mafioso it had to be done.

Mafioso is literally the most boring role in the game; all he can do is claiming vet/vig* when asked and waiting for his eventual downfall.

Mafioso's night ability isn't even a true ability; its just Mafia's "kill button" as a whole. He cannot even decide on its target; because it isn't really HIS ability to use. GF has control over him.

All those other roles can pull some cool tricks, yet Mafioso is like... okay...

Too many people instantly quit after seeing their role as Mafioso, unbalancing the game and ruining it for Maf and Neutrals.

I personally dont quit as a Mafioso, I try my best regardless; but people apparently just don't want to stick with Mafioso.

*(I personally experiment on various other role claims to some success)

This comes up quite a lot on this forum, and the devs have shown that they're aware of the problem and want to fix it. We don't have a timeline on it, though, so I can't necessarily say that they will ever get to it; but there is cause for hope.

i mean, he doesnt HAVE to claim vet/vig, chances are there isnt even an invest in game, and with a claim like vet/vig you are just baiting sheriffs and other TIs to check you, and vigis to blast you.

Many people on the forums support the idea of Tactical Mafia Kills, where any Mafia member can sacrifice their night ability to perform the factional kill. This would allow Mafioso to be given a new replacement ability and open another slot for a role that can contribute to the Mafia.

Tatical mafia would be one of the best implementations in the game

Agreed. Another would be nerfing Jailor.

It is interesting.
But in the framework of your argument, it occurs when the Godfather is roleblocked. Then all of the power cedes to the Mafioso allowing the Godfather to play off the idea that they are not the Godfather because there was a kill.
Nicolas Cage was the greatest thing about the movie Kick-Ass, and everyone here knows it.

But everyone knows that Mafioso is a thing so nobody is going to say that you're clear because you were roleblocked and there was a kill.

I think this would be a given...

I guess that's how it is in ranked, but everywhere else not necessarily. All you need is that and something good to say to the Jailor/Escort to take them off you for even 1 night and that helps tremendously.

Maybe they don't know that in classic mode... but seriously, that's probably just gonna make you look more sus for saying that. "I was rbed and maf killed, I can't be mafia!" - like I would immediately sus anyone who says this with 2 MK alive because most players know that if one MK is rbed, the other will attack, so anyone who thinks that makes them look innocent is probably inexperienced or evil. And I stand by my belief that killing inexperienced townies is helping town, just so they don't throw harder later on in the game.

Isn't Classic mode equally terrible?
Also I think you skipped my second sentence because your reply doesn't really make much sense.
