No it doesn't.

Also I don't see how this is Gamethrowing

I'll explain later, but it's not really "gamethrowing" but it is similar to gamethrowing.

Does it make the game more difficult? Yes. But it doesn't encourage people to cause their current group to lose.

Yet people leave the game D1 constantly, making the game more difficult, but it encourages people to make themselves lose because they didn't want to be the framer.

If you start as doctor, then end up as SK... oh well, you're rooting for SK's now. But that's not gamethrowing because you're not causing yourself to lose just by rooting for yourself. When you switch roles, no matter what role you end up as, you're still going to try and win. Just like any other role, the level of gamethrowing depends on the player not the role.

Except when people leave because of the role they get.
