'''Exactly. The better line-up is locked behind a pay wall.'''

This doesn't seem like such a flaw (after all, the cost is only, what, 15 dollars max?) but the thing is most ToS players first came to ToS because for the most part it was free. Coven is a stretch for most players, including me.

'''It isn't a flaw, considering we're debating which role is more powerful as opposed to which role is more accessible. As said before, I personally like the mafia more, but I'm on the Coven's side because I think the Coven is better.'''

The fact that these roles you need to pay for, while you can play as all the mafia (save Hypnotist and Ambusher) for free, obviously gives mafia a leg up.

A leg up in accessibility, but not a leg up in this debate.
