Kind of encourages gamethrowing? The Armorer could easily supply the confirmed Mafioso with Veteran-like abilities and BOOM Town loses.

'''Jailor and vig can do the same. Should we remove those roles?'''

VH is a hardcounter, and BMG knows it. They won't remove it. Vigilante and Jailor are important Town roles, that are very useful when played by an experienced (or sometimes even "lucky") player; meaning BMG won't remove those either. The occasional gamethrower only gets those roles occasionally as well. They get them as much as you and I would. Then they get other roles as much as you and I would. Try throwing as Medium or Sheriff. It's a lot harder.

As for the Armorer, that's an extra role for gamethrowers to be attracted to. They wait for someone to say someone else is evil, then protect them. Heck, they could even protect someone who is quiet, or use scum-reading, etc. to find an evil. It's even worse because they use up their ability, which could and most likely would be more useful in the late-game.
