The sheriff can only detect mafia members(except GF) ,SK and WW(on full moon nights only).

A smart enough Investigator who is really skilled at filtering roles and results with the role list can find any mafia member(including GF), Serial Killers, Arsonists, Werewolves(even on non-full moon night), Witches, Vampires. harmful neutrals (Jester,Executioner) and identify fellow townies.

Sheriff is a good role but has a low skill ceiling, hence, he has limited investigative capabilities.He just detects something, then either announces it or writes it in his will blindly.

While the Invest has a high skill ceiling and needs a professional who knows to conclude from what he has got. High capabilities are seen with himn as he can (if he's pro enough) find the roles of every player he sees using common sense, role filtering, chance of role presence percentage or even info from other players shown in the day or in Last wills.

Investigator is a better role than Sheriff in my opinion, you just need to be good at it to show how powerful this role is.

I will admit tho, combining Invest and Sheriff would make a really powerful thingie here:

Imagine  an invest finding someone who is doc/SK/Vamp and the sheriff tells him he's NS, he'd conclude he be doc if the game has no vampires so far.

or when he finds someone who's invest/consig and he concludes what he exactly is without filtering or effort thanks to sheriff.

Seems pretty darn good don'tcha think?
