I don't get the people moaning and whining about Sheriff. It's so minor that you shouldn't be giving one f about it but then you proceed to make noises loud enough for the heavens to hear. Get a room.

One thing that no one mentioned is how if a Town targets, say, an SK over the mafia for example, the KPN for evils is straight up halved. This severely hurts mafia's chances of winning and buys Town a lot of time. The change now provides ambiguity that messes that tactic up for Town, they can't pull it off with Sheriff alone any more.

In your typical Ranked game, one Sheriff can identify at least half the evils alone, which in itself is pretty big. This minor change does nothing to that, a Sheriff can still identify at least half of the evils present in a Ranked game all by himself. The changes has negligible effect on the Sheriff's value, so why in the world are you people still moaning?

Do bear in mind that while the Framer buff didn't go through, a buff/rework for Framer is still inevitable because of how downright garbage the role is. This is greatly valuable for NKs and mafia in terms of deception because they have more potential and opportunity for making plays, a problem which these factions have suffered from for the longest time especially with Town possessing roles that can shut them and their plays down. So put your thumb back in your mouth and just wait, this change will eventually prove its value when the complementing part of it comes along.
