[@Laireso]

Worst thing is if evils all give up in first few days or town is really, really efficient and lucky you can be completely missed while town hangs other evil every day. You sometimes have to hope to be noticed by town enough to be lynched, but not enough to be shot/exed which against actual good town is a coin flip, maybe they hang the found GF and then exe you for whatever sus behavior you tried to get town to lynch you. It's definitely better than mafia or NK since even if evils do throw you still have a win con, but I'd rather still be town in most games when I care for elo.

[@TheGameMage_]

I remember 2 games i had as jester 1.around the beginning i confided with a random town to help get me killed later, a bunch of dead bodies later there are 3 people left me, a random towny, and a sk or mafia this was a long time ago. The towny accused me, and the killer jumped on that claim. They both voted guilty. The killer killed the last town i haunted the killer i was the only winner. 2. So the previous game i annoyed someone by constantly role-blocking them as consort. They showed up in the next game i played and i didnt change my name so they wanted revenge. The twist was i became jester so he got everyone to vote me. I got hanged i killed him the same night. Those are my best jester games.

[@jacobw4612]

Exactly. One time I was mayor, about to do the surprise reveal play. I could have won the game, but the jest killed me and we lost

[@loit8185]

We're on the same page for most of this. I feel like you undervalue Blackmailer though. Some of my best mafia games have been due to having a Blackmailer on the team. Hell, my favorite mafia setup excluding anything with consort is Blackmailer + Ambusher. Blackmailer kinda just gets you a lot of information and it tells you who TP is on and who LO is on and who jailor is and it essentially gives you all the information you need to properly choose your kills and win the game. You can also frame with blackmailer by having someone who whispered be killed. This appears to make the recipient of the whispers suspicious. You ALSO get to straight-up say no to someone's ability to speak. In a game where townies need to win by discussing who the evils are, this role seems to me like it's on par with Forger, Consigliere, and Janitor. I know I'm probably biased and that you're better than me but I feel like Blackmailer is undervalued. IMO, low A or high B. Great video. :D

The thing about ret is that its a comeback role so ofc its not gonna be consistent. This format is hard for tos roles, as some rely on whats already in the table... like med is easily s tier in a jani + ambusher game for example, but in a consig + consort game med is definitely c tier

[@dankeykang159]

Ret can be really fun or it can be really boring

[@switters8679]

I am typing this after the ret remake, however your logic is not sound. The ret brings someone else back, and that person has the opportunity to change the game again, not necessarily the ret. Also, consistency is a problem. Sure you can get a huge swing with an awesome ret target that wins you the game. At the same time, you can get the perfect frame off that essentially wins you the game - problem is, it doesn't happen often enough. Whenever you type 'in the right circumstances' you need to start wondering whether you are committing any combination of (Base rate fallacy - making a probability judgment based on conditional probabilities), (Inconsistent comparison - different methods of comparison are used), (Begging the question (petitio principii) - using the conclusion of the argument in support of itself)... There are others, but although your statement is short, it is incredibly flawed.

[@AleCat97]

I disguised my mafioso as the spy, lookout went to our target and saw the "spy" kill the townie, spy gets hanged and lookout ends up loosing credibility and exed by the jailor, my best disg game, but it's pure luck XD

[@Lost1Ace]

I agree with most of the placements here although I'd personally move Medium to B teir and Spy up S+. Even though Spy doesn't have killing power the fact that it can single handily change how the random mafia play, and how it's relatively easy to confirm a real spy over a fake spy due to his bug ability makes this role the second most powerful. In a game like tos information is the most powerful ability of all.

Lookout belongs in the S+ tier, possibly even above Jailor. It is arguably the most powerful role in the entire game. With one in the round you can instantly confirm 3+ Townies by Day 2 and all but eliminate claimspace for evils. It's incredibly powerful, rivaled only by the original incarnations of the Spy, Mayor and Retributionist, and the aforementioned Jailor

[@placeholderblankspace]

New disguiser has so many mechanics, both from learning how it interacts with spy (which is weird) and somehow hides mafia, it's really weird but it can start to help, like framing a townie by disguising themselves, so that no mafia get visited but a townie is visited, and the townie seems to be maf when disg is revealed.

[@illzzu]

To me, Disguiser is essential in a spy game and useful in a LO game. If you disguise your mafioso to ie. a medium, kill a LO target, LO sees your possible RM and the medium. But because medium cannot visit, town is either going to lynch the medium or the LO for having "fake" results. Or even both. Very useful for mislynches.

[@LucyTheBox]

The Disguiser shines on combination with other trash roles. If you disguise the Framer or Hypnotist, they can actually use their abilities.

[@superskellyftw3230]

I always thought ambusher was trash because he gets caught the most out of any other role. Thanks for explaining why he is actually OP! I would've put Lookout as top of S tier. Basically an autoconfirm. It also confirms TP when Jailor is out and they can't save anyone because they are stuck on jailor. The reason I think this is better than Transporter is because I've never seen a game that Lookout has ruined. I would've put Godfather in S+ tier. I play mostly ranked practice and Coven all any. It hurts to play mafia without a Godfather. Godfather shows as "Seems innocent" to sheriff and he is immune to Vigilante. I've pulled off more plays as Godfather because of these than any other mafia role. You can fake claim spy and get confirmed by Sheriff. You can claim TK and a tk cc who is forced to attack you, wastes their night, and there is a chance that they will get lynched for claiming you were immune (while you say you were never attacked). If an investigator checks you, you can claim you "must've been doused". It's unlikely you will die to Vet/BG because most of the time you aren't the one who kills. Mafia also tends to defend you the most. It's hard to argue that any other mafia role is as good as Godfather.

[@Hyunation]

man, maybe spy needs a damn nerf with how it's the hard counter to almost every damn mafia role

[@blazeiken2]

but with every counter comes another counter. you just have to pretty much play smarter when you notice a spy is in the game. it's not that it's "broken", it's just a good counter to certain mafia roles due to how it's role works. You can use certain gimmicks to "confirm" yourself as a townie if spy comes out early, you just have to find a way to make it believable ofc.

Really enjoy the video and your arguments, you went in-depth with each justification and possible scenarios that each roles are good and bad with, which could be good knowledge for people who wants to get better at understanding and playing them. I especially agree with your emphasis on how some roles need to rely on others to win and that is often a deciding factor knowing how diverse the skill level and playstyles the playerbase have. With that being said I believe many people can still take advantage of other players not yet understanding how Disguiser work to cause mislynch at the moment so it's not completely bad to play as. I'd rank Blackmailer a bit higher than Consig (though there's probably a preference involved here), because a lot of roles can be known via VFR these days that the information you found don't contribute as much and you just kinda help Spy eliminate the mafs when you visit. Blackmailer however can help maf learn more specific info reading whispers and the blackmailing ability is adaptable depending on the situation (confirmed TIs, active town, spy presence, you can also fake blackmailing). I like having the options. I would argue a bit for Medium as well because if it's not a Jani game (and we often know this by D2) it's easily confirmed by Invest. It's a scum role to claim as but unlike Sheriff people don't claim it that much anymore, Consort can't do flummery to Medium and it hard counters Ambusher, Forger and Janitor which is a bunch of high-tier mafias right there. Still doesn't mean it should go any higher than B-tier but it deserves some recognition I think.

I think the hypnotist is a great role when there is no spy,cause all you need to do is claim tp and “transport someone” or claim escort and “rb someone”. And framer can fake doc when no spy then frame someone and the sheriff/invest will say he is suspicious and boom,free. Although I can understand how crappy those roles are when there is a spy.

[@ciderhat2760]

Maybe 2 good buffs for framer would be to also alter the investigator results and maybe not show up on the mafia visits? Hypno is sorta hard cause the really can't be altered that much without being busted. Also love the runescape music!!

I mostly agree with this, honestly. But I would appreciate one for all the roles (non-coven/coven). Possibly for other role lists specifically too. For example, a tier list for lovers, etc. Mainly because it really just depends on how the gamemode is supposed to be played. For example, if you're escort in all any, you're pretty much screwed. But if you're veteran in all any, you're going to have a VERY fun time. Things like that. It's a pretty good concept, all around. P.S. I would like to ask (no reply needed) that you do custom role lists; role lists made by the community. That is, if you think they're a good role list. For example, the custom role list of the basic townie setup, but with 2 Mafia, 2 coven, and a nk and ne. I think that'd be a good idea. But please do make this into a series. It's really interesting and helpful.

i played a game the other day where mafia got a townie lynched the day after killing TP because they disguised their mafioso and made it look like the townie visited the dead player, who had a lookout on them. it almost got the lookout lynched as well but luckily enough town knew they were confirmed from earlier and recognized it as a disguiser play.

Should’ve graded the roles on how easy it is to win as them. That way you could include neutral roles in the tier list. A role like jailor in the role list immediately affects town’s ability to win where a medium probably does little to help town win. Obviously it depends if something like a janitor is also in the role list, but generally a medium isn’t as valuable as a transporter.

[@tweektweak2145]

Honestly i was so surprised when you said that hypno is trash.

I have only seen one good disguiser play so far. The disguiser disguised the Mafioso as one of the vigilante. Two lookouts saw the "vigi" visit the maf and they got lynched. Second vigil shot one of the lookouts. That play alone singlehandedly won mafia the game. It was the most confusing game I've played yet. No one could figure out what happened. The chaos worked perfectly for mafia. Disguiser is a role that doesn't work often I think, but if it works, it works incredibly well. People don't suspect the possibility of disguisers. It's a very under the radar role.

[@frostyspikes7589]

One of the things i love the most as witch is to basically use mafia from the outside. Usually you basically consig a couple townies and by n3 you figured out who evils are, mafia goes for TI n1 n2 so if you found TP you witch maf/gf into them. I don't like perma witching jailor as theres a chance of them executing town, tho if there's a successful 1 for 1 in favor of mafia, ez witch jailor. There's nothing better than witching jailor into executing town.

[@GarlicPops]

Even though Hypno is a terrible random mafia, his presence is CRUCIAL for the sake of balancing because it is the ONLY role in the game who can consistently claim Transporter.

Hypno is there for balancing purposes, not because he is good

[@sleepylad3590]

YAY 😁 a much wanted video, smashed that like button

[@TheCrimsonTorrent]

I admit, I haven't played TOS with the new buffs and all that, but I have played A LOT of ToS. So here's my take. Information is power. And Lookout provides the most information in the game. It can basically confirm themselves pretty quickly and confirm several others. Spy is a close second. No the information won't matter if Mafia gains majority, but in the grand scheme of things Lookout does more for town than several other roles you put above it. I would put it in S tier. Like the TP's, who i think both belong in B tier. TP is an important role to have in the game, but they aren't really solving anything. They rely on everyone else to provide them information (which especially sucks when your teammates aren't that good). And it's hard to say whether Doctor or BG is better because it depends on the situation you're in, but I think Doctor is usually better. Sure BG can take out an evil, but they die along with them. It normally benefits town to still do so and can sometimes be game changing, but Doctor can save a townie and keep going to save more. Doctor being able to provide that protection for longer will keep evils off of your important roles for longer and imo is more reliable. Vigilante I do not think belongs in S tier or at least not above Lookout and Spy. It's a risky role. Especially with Witch around. If you're the perfect Vigilante and take out 3 evils yourself then yeah I guess it would be S tier, but that's not gonna happen that often. And Veteran should probably at least be B tier. It's an easy role to confirm and typically makes it far into the game to clutch out wins when needed. And if people aren't reading chat and are visiting you as townies, then that's just them being bad, not Veteran being bad. Everything else seems to have pretty solid placement. :)

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

lol I don't even play this game, but they way you talk about it is very interesting

[@potatoch1ps]

In my opinion, being Medium is one of my favorites, if not in my top personal favorite, roles. I absolutely adore the idea of speaking to the dead chat - despite the times there would be no information whatsoever. Talking to dead chat is such a unique concept for me because it gives a reason as to why players can still participate despite being killed off. It is my personal favorite role and probably will be for a long while. However - when I recently saw this game around the summer of my country, I never really understood why it is all it could do. It's just very disappointing to me because it takes such a unique idea but it never really goes further. I admit it is such a weak role, powerful if used correctly but I doubt a high possibility, that if I were to play a game of Town of Salem, I would have mixed emotions all throughout the game. And I noticed people don't really take the role seriously, which is understandable but kind of saddening for me, to be honest. However, I do agree with your statements. Perhaps liking Medium is my choice of liking weaker, more strategic, and non-killing roles that do not give me too much pressure. But it is my opinion and I agree with you. :D Also, I really like that Medium skin. I don't know why but I just really like it.

Interesting video! Don't agree on the disg tho, it's kunde powerful too! Say framer and disg, framer frame someone, disg disguises framer, spy won't see who the framer visits, ti call them sus. We lynch the townies for the 1f1. Vig shoots accuser, who is actual sheriff. Sheriff dead. Town hangs the spy who didn't see the framers visit 😂 Disguisers movements arent seen unless they disg gf I think 🤔 he can disg the known tp as himself and lo will see disgs name instead of the tps name. Still trying to figure the role out but it's fun! Hypno is also kinda strong I think, if used correctly. Esp with forger in game to hide hypnos maf visits etc 😊 You get 10/10 bananas for this video! 😘 🌸

As a casual (mostly ranked practice) player, some of these surprised me, especially ambusher in S.

[@rrett44556]

Coven all any makes jester instant win tier

[@ravengamingytloveboo3603]

if disguiser disguises the ambusher after the ambusher ambushes someone and people see the ambush, they will see the ambush as the person you disguised the ambusher as, keeping the ambusher hidden

[@CatQueen1323]

I've definitely had a couple games, not in high rank or anything, in which a disguiser messed up some results. I think if you're lucky and understand the role, you can buy another day for your team. But yeah, I agree with the ranking.

[@MarshalaYams]

*sees vigi + mayor in s, and medium in c* Me: *cries*

[@UnbornHeretic]

I would love to buff or nerf individual roles without making the faction generally more or less powerful. I do not think mafioso should be a role but instead that gf designates a mafia as acting mafioso for the night. But i also think that would make mafia too powerful. Also, spy just needs to be rid of that passive ability. Buff bug so that it gives the player's results from that night or something. Im fine with its strength but it does make the game less fun for other roles or invalidates them. There is no good options or plays with hypno that arent to blend in with town. Even then, they are not very good at it. Maybe medium should just learn the roles and nights results of dead town automatically instead of needing the dead to tell them. That would make it decent. Not any better if dead played like they should, but it skips the middle man. I do think disguisers do not play as they should. I think they should disguise random town constantly as it can make good will inconsistencies, and will inconsistencies are more reliable lynches than what the framer does. And it does 2 town members at a time. If a sheriff checks a mafia, they probably are just going to be seen as exe anyways.

Hey!! I suggested this! Lmao thank you Pipetron

[@cadenjacobs8837]

respect the list a lot! i'd argue that ret should be at bottom of B teir tho based on my experiences. i once played a game as ret where the bg and doc both died night one. i put bg on the jailor and killed 2 evils night 1. another game i mained the escort and roleblocked maf from killing 4 nights in a row. but definitely agree that the strength of the ret depends on dead town! :D

[@mr.okanefan3218]

AYY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I DO ENJOY THIS CONTENT PLEASE MAKE MORE

[@Velawynn]

I think Spy should be S tier, probably right below mayor and above all the RM. Spy is very powerful being able to find the witch/exe if hit by maf and confirming who was visited by maf. Having a spy also prevents a lot of RT maf roles from claiming their town counterpart, like consort claiming escort. Spy makes a big impact on the game.

[@LucyTheBox]

I think Medium is the only role I'm in disagreement with. Contrary to what many people say, it's pretty easy to confirm yourself in a way thats pretty hard to fake. You have the ability to copy paste text from death chat. All this text combined is often more than what can fit in your will and you can copy paste it faster than you'd be able to from external programs. And death chat is where all the info goes that Mafia didn't want to come out. Appart from the info the dead get from when they were alive, now that they are dead, they are no longer distracted with keeping their will up to date and worrying about their own life. They are often able to more accurately scum read and have more time on their hands to cross reference wills. Whenever I'm Medium, I often take the lead by D4, I've had occasions where town followed me over the revealed Mayor and even the Jailor just because I was so active and had so much information from the dead. As a result of my activity in public, more people stayed when they died and paid better attention to the game because they knew they could still have an impact of the game, which in turn gave me even more information. You also don't really have to fear for your life as medium because the Medium role is automatically near the bottom of the Mafia priority list. And even if they kill you, you still have your seance. It took me a long time to find the true potential of the Medium role, I think I can even say it's the role with the highest learning curve, but once you get good at it, it can become one of the most powerful roles. The main weakness is that you still have to rely on others. Even if you play optimally and try your hardest to steer the town in the right direction, if they don't cooperate or if the dead never talk to you, you're basically useless. (Then again, the same can be said for any investigative role)

[@FlaminKanami]

I think they should just remove the "Framer" from the Random Mafia List.

[@thenungod]

nah it makes sense to have an "anti town" like cons for esc and maf for vig and consig for inv - it makes sense they are in pairs if u get what i mean

[@mcbain7392]

You need to be good at fake claiming with it and be a step ahead of sheriff, the role is trash but his skill ceiling I would say it's high.

[@lucasmontenegro9852]

I had a framer game today where I got 2 towns killed (both sheriffs). One of them were executed by the jailor so he lost his exes. We clean sweeped town with 0 mafia members dead. However, this is one of the few times I've actually succeded with the role. It really only works against Sheriff and in some cases vs Invest which is only 2 roles and therefore makes it a low tier role.

[@thenungod]

@@lucasmontenegro9852 never debated it being low tier, although my strategy puts it into solid c tier, only arguing it shouldnt be removed works best in all any - but claim framer bait as jester

[@superskellyftw3230]

I agree with where you put Investigator. I don't think you should've put blackmailer in the same tier as investigator. You can read whispers, but you won't get any useful information if you blackmail, because town will immediately know that you did. Even in games where there is no spy, you confirm living townies and expose that one of the random mafias in Blackmailer. It's important that you keep random mafias a secret so in no spy games you can accuse Investigators of being consig or escorts of being consort etc. I would argue he is only slightly better than hypnotist because he can read whispers.

[@blazeyy3210]

Disguised is very based on certain situations. It needs confirmed roles etc, and the other mafias to be able to false claim

[@jamiemccollin438]

I think framer would be so much better if spy didn't see them bc they could frame someone without visiting them, and could visit someone else separately (so like they could frame someone but still go on the jailor in order to claim doc)

[@danielarchibald9409]

HOLLLYYYH SHIITTTT HE ACTUALLY DID IT WTF. I’m very pleased with you today, 👍👍👍👍😁

[@thekoalacat4246]

If there's no spy, me, as a framer or a disguiser always visit the jailor to confirm myself as TP.

[@supbruh7793]

If blackmailed targets can’t vote, it would be a pretty decent buff. As for Framer, would be nice if the ability would persist for 2 or 3 nights. For the hypnotist, i honestly don’t know how to buff this except by making hypno invisible to spy

[@remidees]

ive been waiting for this one yay :D

[@milogwynne4667]

First ever game I saw new disguiser, I was mafioso and just attacked jailer, fooled lookout through being disguised and got the investigator hung. Strong B role.

[@sasaetsurikomiashi4454]

I love this kind of video, especially the parts were you stopped to explain how each role plays and/or should be played. As a fairly new player who is trying ranked for the first time stuff like that is super usfull. Did you think about doing some guide series on each role? Or some videos were you are explaining why you are making each move, how you find people sus etc.?

[@raeliciousx]

Ooooh a spicy video! Can’t wait to see what you tier them as!

[@williamjaku5410]

Pipe is blessing us with these uploads

[@SpeedDemonisk]

Ive had experiences with the disg. I saved one of my members from being sus and got a TI voted out Thats it

[@Viscellaneous_Rim]

[@jfast8256]

A transporter who is controlled by a child = Straight up D tier for town.
