Crusader isn't really that bad. It's pretty obvious who they're going to visit, and usually town doesn't have any buisness visiting the person a Crusader intends to visit (Excluding other TP's, unless they are aware of a Crusader's Pressence) At most, town should only lose members to a Crusader once, because they don't know one is in the game. Even if it usually doesn't kill the attacker, unlike BG, They also don't usually die when there is an attacker, unlike BG. (Excluding if the attacker is either a Werewolf, or Pestilence).

Ambusher, on the other hand, is worse than almost every other mafia role. They are very few times where an Ambusher is prefferable over something like a Janitor, Consigliere, Forger, or even a Framer. The only time where Ambusher would really be prefferable is in a match with 4 Doctors / Bodyguards, or if you already have one of those roles. Even if that dream scenario occurs, there are STILL scenarios within that scenario where, say, the doctor heals someone you attacked, alerting them who you are, and getting you killed the next day. You have to get into such a specific scenario for Ambusher to compare to the other mafia roles, that having one instead of a different mafia role itself harms the mafia. You poor poor soul

Also in what world is ambusher preferred over the consig and janitor even forger at least framer makes sense That was my point. Ambusher isn't preferred over any of those. hence "are very few times where an Ambusher is prefferable..."
