Retributionist is the worst town role balance-wise, as far as I believe. I don't know why Escort gets called useless and Medium is completely ignored, but ok. I'd also rather ignore the value of fun when properly judging a role, as it is subjective and also fully irrelevant to balance.

The opinion on Pirate is quite subjective, as fun and the criteria filling it varies between one player and another. I've heard a few people in-game and somewhere on the wiki saying Pirate is actually fun, directly contradicting your statement. RNG =/= not fun. If that really was the case, games like BGO and Settlers of Catan would barely have players since they have a dependency on RNG, which clearly isn't the case. There's no stable basis for deciding what is fun and what isn't for your viewpoint.

Best is a very vague term, and you used the subjective value of fun again. There's barely anything to agree with for the 3rd one.
