Protective Synergism :)

Combined protection of Doctor (Doc) and BG was a common complain at the early phrase of game development, back in the year 2014. Players acceptably recognized the issue of Docs healing each other but expressed different degree of detestation towards the joint protection of Doc and BG, with the reason saying that Werewolf could break the force of 2 Docs. Most of the players still claimed to be tolerable of these circumstances, notwithstanding of the annoyance, empathically reasoning that “It's more common that they don't find each other in the game or they do towards the end”. Responding to this issue and its proposal (see section below), “nothing will be done. It's a strategy, and it's not gonna change anytime soon,” says Naru2008, a Global Moderator, supported by players stating that this scenario can be countered by the mean of strategy. In the meantime, a reddit user named out all the roles that could possibly break the combination, including Witch, Jester, Transporter, and role-blockers (including Arsonist), with footnote saying that: “The Doctor/Bodyguard combo is good, but it isn't indestructible,” while another user reminded that the second attack towards Doc will get through. With the community being more acknowledged to the facts behind the alleged unbreakable combination, this issue was spectated to lose its place as a trend, and the complaint has yet to be seen after the release of Coven expansion, which consists of role who can potentially unchained the protection bound, such as Coven Leader, Hex Master, Poisoner, Necromancer, Juggernaut, or even a Hypnotist.
