On one hand, a 1v1 like this would, reveal who has better roles. '''Better in what sense? Each team has something that the other team doesn't. '''But maybe one team is better at going against town then the other faction. '''That's... kinda what this whole debate is about.'''

i think it's a pretty good way, but not perfect.''' Far from perfect... it completely ignores more than half of the factors that make a faction "good", and misses the point of the debate again. the point of this should be who does better against town, but pinning them against each other would get you a rough view on which roles are better A rough view, perhaps, but rough isn't good enough when we can get a much more refined view.'''
