ShadowBeatzInc is a popular Youtuber who streams Town of Salem. On June 26th, he has revealed information from BlankMediaGames about the upcoming 1.5.0 patch which includes buffs and nerfs on roles!

Here is his video.

Here is the information from the video. This information is copied and pasted directly from his video's description:

1.5 Patch Notes are here people! Here's a list for those who can't be bothered to watch the video:

Role Balancing Mayor: The Mayor will no longer be able to whisper or be whispered to once they reveal. This should help to prevent mayors revealing Day 1 and taking control of the game immediately.

Blackmailer: The Blackmailer will now be able to read whispers. This will help the Blackmailer to not be instantly killed when investigated, and will also help to prevent “Whisper” games where a confirmed town member gets claims from everyone and uses that information to roll over all the evil roles in the game.

Vampire: When a Vampire bites a Mafia role that Mafia member will now die instead of being showed as immune. This will help Vampires to not be so weak against the Mafia roles in the game.

Medium: The Medium is getting a large rework. More will come about this later.

Investigator Results Rework The investigator's results are in need of an update, and we realize this. Certain roles in the game are instantly given away when they are investigated, and we would like to change this and help give those roles a fighting chance again. This will help many roles that have results that essentially mean death for them.

Leaver Timeout Improvements The Leaver Buster system that we currently have in place would only punish players who left a game for 5 minutes. This new system will start with a lower timeout fso it does not punish players who had a crash or just disconnected as harshly. It will however scale up more and more as you leave more games within a given time period.

These improvements will help to discourage players leaving the game and ruining the experiences of other players.

In-Game Rules We are adding a very noticeable set of rules available in game. This will explain the rules of the game with more understandable language that the Terms of Use do. This will help to ensure all players know the rules of the game. This should decrease the number of people breaking the rules, trolls, and the number of reports that have to be filed. With the the help of the Trial System, which will be coming out of beta soon, games will be much higher quality. We also plan to add tips to help players improve. Explanations of things such as what game throwing is, or that multiaccounting, and sharing information outside the game is cheating.

Player Statistics and Leaderboards The player statistics page will allow you to view your own stats for things such as win rate, most popular role, most kills in game, players saved, etc. The Leaderboards will show the best players of each respective role, and the top ranking ranked players. This should create a more competitive environment, and help to promote the best players in the Town of Salem community.

Female Skins We have decided that we want to give away another female skin to all players. We will be giving away the Betty Parris skin, and will be refunding all players who have purchased it. This will bring us to three male pilgrims, and three female pilgrims as the starter skins. We have many female skins planned for release. This along with the recent Red Riding Hood, Uriel, and more skins that are planned should bring the number of male and female skins into line.

Lobby Icons Before patch 1.4.4.1 the only way to get a lobby icon was to be a Kickstarter backer. We recently released the Angel and Demon Lobby Icon, and will be adding more including the Godfather, Jailor, Jester, Serial Killer, Spy, Vampire, Witch, and Werewolf lobby icons. Randomize Cosmetics Option We all know that lynching your friends is one of the best feelings in Town of Salem. This fun is diminished when you get in game, and instantly recognize them by the cosmetics they are using though. We plan to add an option in the settings to randomly select new cosmetics every game.
