Why ranked sucks

1. It is more one sided then tf2 comp.

What I mean by this is basically, if you get town, you win.

If you get non witch NE, you may win if your target is dumb or you get vfr'd, but otherwise rip..

If you get witch, you rely on town being bad and there being 4 vigilantes without an Escort.

If you get Mafia, then gg you lose.

If you get neutral killing, you suicide into jailor. Or be a good lil wolf and maul everyone for the Mafia.

Summary: Town wins, everyone else sucks.

2. It's boring for Town Protectives.

Yes, i'm saying it. TP is boring as hell in ranked. In Coven Gamemodes, usually the jailor doesn't reveal. In ranked, you click one button at night as TP. you don't have the fun of predicting who to heal/guard/trap/kill everyone who visits. You just click on the jailor claim. That's how you play TP.

3. Everyone blames the Jailor for executing a town, when clearly it's the townie's fault.

So I one time executed a Spy who claimed when there were 20 seconds left and had NO will.

We found Spy dead in their home last night. He was executed by the Jailor. We couldn't find a will. His role was spy:

Town: WTF JAILOR NOOB JAILOR REPORT JAILOR ASS JAILOR SHIT JAILOR

Bitch, how is that my fault? (Same way with Vigilante)

4. Retributionist is a good reason why town is OP as fuck.

Hey, remember when medium was basically impossible to confirm? Well, since Ret exists, all mediums are confirmed! While you can attempt to claim ret by whispering someone you think will be revived first, that is rare, and will get you shot/exe'd.

I've posted an okay ret nerf before, so...

However, despite everything said, ranked is about the only good gamemode where you encounter smart townies. AND PEOPLE WHO DONT FUCKING LYNCH REVEALED MAYORS AND JAILOR CLAIMS DAY 2 LIKE LITERALLY HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN PRACTICE.
