Okay, here's the thing about Investigator

Usually, the list of roles the Investigator gets correlates with what is easy to claim for an evil role

For example:

Escort/Transporter/Consort/Hypnotist - the Consort will usually claim Escort since they can prove that they can role block people, whilst a Hypnotist can claim Transporter which is an easy claim, as they can hypnotize the players which they would claim they transport themselves with

Spy/Jailor/Blackmailer/Guardian Angel - before both of them could read whispers, of course this was changed, but both Spy and Blackmailer know who Mafia visits which would be an easy claim for Blackmailer.

Investigator/Consigliere/Mayor/Tracker/Plaguebearer - of course a Consigliere can claim Investigator, and a Plaguebearer can claim Tracker since they have a rough idea of who his target visits by who is infected.

Vigilante/Veteran/Mafioso/Pirate/Ambusher - an Ambusher or Mafioso can just claim Vigilante or Veteran, it's an easy claim as they both can't really do anything, and can claim they don't have enough leads to shoot or they haven't used much alerts yet.

Bodyguard/Godfather/Arsonist/Crusader - An Arsonist can always claim to be doused, whilst a Godfather can claim Bodyguard since it's an easy claim, they can also possibly claim Crusader.

Medium/Janitor/Retributionist/Necromancer/Trapper - both Mediums and Janitors will know the dead's roles.

Sheriff/Executioner/Werewolf/Poisoner - the Executioner can claim Sheriff and get his target lynched, Werewolf and Poisoner can't really claim anything other than Sheriff in this case though. This list is unfair though, I have to admit.

Doctor/Disguiser/Serial Killer/Potion Master - A Potion Master can heal and hence claim Doctor, Disguiser's investigative results change all the time so that won't be a problem

Lookout/Forger/Amnesiac/Coven Leader - Yeah I admit this one makes no sense.

Framer/Vampire/Jester/Hex Master - I guess this is just the messed up list which occurs when you're framed/hexed.

The only ones which are unfair is Werewolf, Serial Killer and Coven Leader's claims, but apart from that I think Investigator is fine.
