Balance Changes
This season has gone incredibly well, and we are really happy with the current win rates overall. We feel that we have nailed down a really solid role list with this season, and that small adjustments can be made with the current win rates to bring certain roles up or down a peg to be exactly where we want them to be.
We are going to be starting with a change that we believe will give evil roles the ability for more a interesting play style in game, and will allow the Jester to have more impact on games.
The Jester can now kill any player who does not vote innocent on them when hanged.
This change allows the Jester more options on who to kill, and can allow the Jester the potential to remove roles that are more impactful from the game than before. This should make players more hesitant to vote guilty on a potential evil role as well. This has always been the general idea behind the Jester, but certain play styles have made the Jester less impactful on games than we had originally hoped. We believe this change will be good for overall health of the role, and will help it be the role it was always meant to be. A role that makes you second guess yourself when trying to hang someone.
Thanks for being involved. We are looking forward to seeing how this season goes, and we will be keeping an eye on everything.
Happy Hanging from the BMG Team!
