The inability to kill early in the game is the extreme weakness of the Plaguebearer/Pestilence. From what I've heard (I don't own the expansion), the win rate of the Plaguebearer/Pestilence is already low. I'm assuming that if the roles were spawnable in ranked practice, it wouldn't only be easier for the Town to win (there would be no early deaths from the Neutral Killing), but it would also make it harder for the Coven to win (for the exact same reason). I also believe that roles that rely heavily on visitation (Werewolf, Plaguebearer/Pestilence) should not be Neutral Killing because of their inability to reliably kill.
