Report because the Sheriff isn't that good of a role.

Why the Sheriff is NOT the best role in ToS

1. You can't really claim as Sheriff without someone saying "wOw eXE mUcH?"

2. The Sheriff's avatar's hat is dumb.

3. The Sheriff can only tell who the Werewolf is on full-moon nights, which is kind of pointless because unless there is a Medium or a Retributionist, even if the Sheriff finds out who the Werewolf is they will be mauled before they can put it in their will/tell the town.

4. If there's any other Neutral Killing as well as Mafia and a Serial Killer, (Custom game mode) this role is pointless once all of the Mafia and the Serial Killer are found.

5. Even if you don't want all of the killing roles to target you, you have no choice but to say you're the Sheriff (if you are told to tell the town your role) due to the only other Investigative results being Werewolf and Executioner. (I know this is only in original, but still)

6. The "Your target is not suspicious." is misleading and unhelpful. Werewolves on non full-moon nights get this message as well as Godfathers and other evil non-Serial Killer, Mafia, or Coven evil roles.

Everyone is going to scream at me, but here's another list.

Why the Witch/Coven Leader is one of the best roles in ToS

1. It's a fun role to play.

2. You get the exact role of your target. (unlike the useless, weak Sheriff)

3. The town doesn't care that much about your existence in a non-Coven expansion game.

4. You win with every role (except Pestilence) besides the Town.

5. Stereotypical witches have cats, and cats are cool.

6. In the Coven expansion, they are the first role to get Necronomicon.

7. With Necronomicon, they can kill.

8. They get a temporary night immunity.

9. They can force the Jailor to execute their target (especially helpful if their jailed target is a Townie), make a Vigilante kill a confirmed Townie, force a Doctor/Bodyguard/Crusader to protect them, force a Veteran to alert, and much more.
