It's surprising how killing roles care about survivor, when there are more important threats. I can understand that if the survivor is backing your enemy he must be killed, but makes no sense when he does nothing, doesn't matter how obvious the proof. I was in a game recently and claimed survivor on first night and used bulletproof vest night one and two, but not night three, and serial killer killed me. On another game i used my bulletproof vest on n1, n2 and n4. I needed to help my brother to carry some luggage and couldn't put the vest on n5, i came back when the night [on the game] ended and just discovered i got killed by mafia, who was probably planning to kill me when i used all my vests.

People from town also don't care about lynching a survivor, neither does the jailor has any regards into executing him, because "there's no lose for town". It got even worse with the werewolf. Now most games have a werewolf, and the investigation results appears as: You target is a loner, they might be a survivor, witch or werewolf. So unless the werewolf dies by midgame, assuming you claimed being survivor beforehand, then you are screwed. If you made it to the end with a werewolf and enough people to lynch you, forget about it.

Before, being survivor was, and it continues to be, an useless role. But now it really IS a survivor. We have to play like a hybrid of veteran and survivor: imagine when we're getting attacked so that you survive that night -> and you know you're being attacked because no one gives a shit about you.
