We brought back the most OVERPOWERED role in Gmod TTT!

[@enderhugo]

The assassin's biggest weakness is when they have to fight someone who isn't their target they're at their strongest when people aren't paying attention and end up not fighting them, so, not to throw too much shade, but it's always going to be overpowered against the yogscast lmao

[@owenchafer1083]

Honestly, I kind of like the idea of a fellow traitor being the target. Makes them have to prioritize extra damage, or having their traitor buddy.

[@sleep8527]

Maybe the assassin could have a scanner (defib-style item) to "confirm" their targets kill before they get another target? So that they can't immediately jump ship to another target. It would force the assassin to potentially reveal themselves while they fiddle with the body - similarly to the risk/reward of a traitor defib or mad scientist play. Could even have a calling card function, like the body indicated as "ASSASINATED" to reveal that there's an assassin to the innocents if they find a body. Just my thoughts - the roles potential is there.

[@Caipiranha89]

I had a similar train of thought, but my idea was that the assassin is forced to use a special gun that one shots the target but does zero damage to anyone else. Also, the assassin has no idea who their target actually is and has to find out by taking pot shots at people. This would add additional confusion amongst the innocent, because someone who does no damage could now either be a pink role or an assassin.

[@georgehh2574]

I think the defib idea might make them *too* vulnerable, but I like the idea about placing calling cards.

[@falloversideways]

My idea was a 30 second cooldown between targets

[@falloversideways]

It would be a cool idea if that gun is different each round.

The quickest/simplest way I can think of fixing the Assassin would be to make them either take more damage or have less health. Force them to be more careful and less brazen. The debuff of not being able to attack non-targets just isn't enough, assassins are just able to get through their list of targets too fast for the Innocents to figure them out and take advantage of the debuff.

[@PanSpaceman]

My thinking for leveling out the Assassin, (other than a slightly bigger gap in Next Target'ing, 7-10 seconds maybe,) is making it known to everyone who the next target is. Then you get a sort of Get Down Mr President type panic of "are they really staying so close to protect me? Or is it to kill me?" Plus of course the pink role plays in the confusion.

[@spicychichentaco9961]

Only problem with that is it would essentially clear anyone who is a target so people know they are innocent (or possibly a brown role to be fair)

[@JohnJohnson-sc7hn]

Maybe if it only tells the target and not the whole lobby

[@Odyanii]

Duncan’s right in that the Assassin not needing any toys is part of the problem. I think maybe the Assassin should get a shop of powerful weapons with big tradeoffs. Like one will kill almost instantly like it is now, but only at extremely close range. Maybe another that’s two shot but long range and with extremely slow fire rate. Maybe one is a fake free kill gun that won’t explode but people will of course potentially kill you. And all regular weapons do very little damage even against your target, so you have to risk exposing yourself to get kills.

[@nessle420]

i mean these kinda sound like the old DB shotgun / tec9, and the base scout Rifle (two shot at any range, low firerate). if someone snipes you across the map with a regular rifle they generally call it out 'zylus is in a sniper tower!' so idk if making it a unique weapon would be much different though it would be a 100% confirmation of them being bad

[@freneticriot]

I like the idea of a stable rail gun that doesn't explode. Just make the charge really really loud so people can hear it from far away.

Pretty sure the problem is that double damage is insane. Most single fire and semi-auto guns now oneshot at any range and any body part, and most automatics do it in 2-3.

[@AtomixKingg]

I think the best solution to the assassin is for the target to know they are the target. It'd make them much more defensive about people coming near them, and may have other innocents defending them. It would also force the assassin to get much more creative with their methods.

[@irregularassassin6380]

It would be a fun idea to make an Assassination Contract item that only appears in the shops of non-assassins. So, your traitor buddy (or the Glitch) has to put a hit out on a target before you can get your bonus. Maybe before you can even do damage at all. The hijinks could be increased by adding it to the shops of Detectives (probably the Marshal), the Faker, and the Mercenary. Not only could the innocents potentially screw each-other over (providing great content), but if they correctly guess the other traitor, the Assassin would lose their extra damage forever, because it would only apply to their buddy.

[@kelaestheicts6207]

Okay, after having watched a few videos on the new server, I'd like to suggest a few balance changes for some roles: -The Announcer. This detective role feels almost more like a facilitator for Traitors and Fakers to frame people, rather then traitors getting caught out for buying items. I think something that could work is that while they get the same announcements, they get informed WHO bought at least ONE of the items after a minute passes to encourage them to sit on their information they have until they know who bought it...and it encourages traitors to gun for the Announcer fast before they get revealed. Obviously, with the Faker, Veteran, and other roles with shops, it's very possible the traitors might not get randomly picked by the new feature, so it's a risk/reward thing. - The Spy. Much like in TF2, not being able to talk to the people you're trying to trick severely limits how convincing and how long you can keep the disguise up for. As it stands, the spy has had a near universal lose rate since it's introduction. I'd like to propose a change that I think would make it more powerful: The spy spawns with a single-shot flare gun that burns bodies, and they can STORE disguises of people they've killed, allowing them to disguise as say, Ben, fire a shot, then run away and de-equip that disguise, easily framing people. An additional buff is that they're immune to location-revealing tools while in disguise, so they can more easily maintain their cover. And yes, this would let spies get away with using the Death Note, but the Death Note is rather weak as is with how easy it is to just rush traitors down, so I think it would be fine. - The Assassin. Much like it's former version, the double damage against a successive list is far too strong for a group that's as infamously distracted (sorry guys, I love you) as the yogs. I think a version that would be more balanced would be that The Assassin has ONE target they get double damage against...but ONLY if they're using a single-shot weapon that reloads upon kill. They miss the shot, they're stuck doing half-damage against everyone else, and they don't get a shop. They land the shot, they get another bullet and a new target, but the shot is very loud and distinctive, so they'll be "known" after the first kill. This way, all the innocents are encouraged to dive them...and the assassin's fellow traitor can take advantage of the chaos to get kills themselves or employ anti-movement tools to net the assassin more kills.

[@skunkstripe5487]

The assassin role could be replayed by a role such as the whaler, where they will get a harpoon gun (cross between the railgun and harpoon) and a target to hunt. Charging the harpoon gun allows for the harpoon to travel faster and do more damage but will explode if over charged. The whale starts with one harpoon shot and will only get another after a successful elimination of a target with the harpoon gun, but if the whaler misses, kills someone that’s not there target, or if the harpoon gun explodes due to over charge, their role will be revealed to the whole lobby.

[@duncanjala]

Maybe a way to keep the spirit of the assassin while making them more balanced is give them one target and after killing them they are a traitor with extra credits.

[@anonymouscommenter2425]

Assassins should probably be announced at the start of the round, make it a somewhat lower chance of being assigned than other roles and force the player into a “1”v all until they die

[@OfficialJamion]

Assassin should be a neutral role (minimal dmg buff) that can ONLY damage their target. That way people may assume they area jester. Also longer delay between target updates, and they have to kill X number of people then survive till the end of the round to get a joint win with whatever team.

[@omegaRST]

The two options I see for the assassin are either to make the new target cooldown longer (maybe it should be slow at the start and get faster) or make it like the summoner but gets all the good 1v1 items like freeze gun and car gun

[@brasslion4176]

Maybe make it so that the assassin has a special weapon that 1-shots their target, and everything else they try to use deals 0 damage and/or can't deal any damage to anyone but their target

Assassin should do no damage to non-targets so they can imitate the jester. Longer cooldown maybe too

If they had added the sponge with the assassin... then I could see it being more balanced. However as things stand, it is so broken you physically cannot ever lose. Even if they were on a more basic version of ttt, it would be absolutely busted. I have to wonder why they added it back knowing just how ridiculously OP it is. Especially since the assassin then doesn't even take double damage in return for the double damage. Least if you can do double damage, you should receive double damage in turn from all sources.

[@Frogger601]

Think a simple fix to balance Assassin is to change the damage buff to +25% to target, change the damage debuff to -50% damage to others, give the Assassin 60s to kill their target before it goes into cool down for 30s and changes target, and if they manage to kill their target have it select a new target in 10s. That way it they won't be able to 1 shot their target, but still do significant damage to them. It would also prevent them from chain killing with the longer kill cooldown, but also makes it so if they take too long they have to wait to kill the new target, slowing the game down a little bit. The target icon should also be changed to green with a green outline, this would allow the Assassin to go back to thinking green (innocents) is bad, and red (traitors) is good.

I think it’d be a good idea to get rid of the damage buff and replace it with maybe an outline of their next target and replenish the Assassin’s health and ammo if they kill their target. And maybe they instantly get a credit without having to go to the body for completing the kill. The damage buff breaks way too many guns. And don’t make them have a damage debuff to non-target. Maybe do something like, if you kill a non-target you get outed as the assassin and you lose your target and no longer can receive a target.

[@afallingmoose]

Orrr. Make him have a similar situation as the informant where the longer he views the target it ticks up the damage buff. So it can still lead to one-shots but you have to patiently wait for the buff to tick up.

I believe the assassin currently does double damage? The gun Lewis had if I remember correctly does 50 damage... To double the damage in a mode like TTT is actually quite insane.
