Team Doc

BG

- Max 1 Successful protection

- Can protect anyone

Doc

- Can hypothetically protect every single night

- Cannot protect revealed Mayor

Bodygaurd is literally a one-and-done. The only person it really hurts is Neutral Killing, simply because Mafia will have more people. However, if it gets on Mayor, well... you have a fully protected mayor, right?

Wrong.

The thing is, a ton of town roles can confirm themself. Escort, Transporter, Jailor, Veteran, Vigilante.... and all of these can be protected by both. Except when you're a bodygaurd, you can only protect once before dying, and with doc it's an infinite ammount.

On top of that, as Professor Arceus noted earlier, Bodguard will literally kill all nks, which have the lowest winrate of all time. They are a solid half of the reason why Arsonists leave games chronically. Doctors, on the other hand, help neutral killings, which helps balance the game.

This isn't really a contest tbh
