No such thing as vet armor unless you mean 1 shot BP maybe a poll for your favorite town power role and later mafia power role?

New Poll Time!
Poll: What is your favorite investigative role?Parity Cop (10) 30% Watcher (8) 24% Detective (7) 21% Role Cop (4) 12% Tracker (4) 12% 33 total votes Your vote: What is your favorite investigative role? (Vote): Detective (Vote): Parity Cop (Vote): Role Cop (Vote): Tracker (Vote): Watcher
I'm not a huge detective fan since I prefer some degree of ambiguity with an investigative role. Framers and millers usually seem to punish a bad check with a mislynch, rather than force the detective to consider an invalid check. Modifying the sanity probably works better to solve this issue, but that has some problems of its own.
Parity cops have been really popular lately. I like that the usefulness of the checks are delayed, but the double target version of the role that we've been seeing is quite powerful. The single target version of the role provides less options, but it a lot easier to balance around.
Role cops are interesting when the role doesn't correlate with alignment and they are great with dealing with fake claims, but I prefer to see them on the mafia side of things.
I'm a bit biased against trackers due to Insane Mafia where I was told my tracker role was called a watcher and I didn't know better. They're great to fake claim and incriminate annoying serial killers though
Watchers are my favorite of the investigative roles since they serve as a deterrent to shoot priority targets and selecting who to target is a bit more interesting. Plus, they come with great stories if the watcher happens to be a crime fighting superhero.

Havent played any of these in my 5 games except tracker as scum...

Agreed, and voted accordingly xD

I haven't played many of them but I'm guessing I would prefer watcher most.
Gimme vigi every game and I'll be happy though.

Definitely Watcher. I am usually pretty good at making educated guesses about who'll die.
|
personally, watchers are far too strong and should never be present outside of themed games or games where mafia has ways to disguise their kp usage.
I usually prefer cops with sanity or parity cops that target a single person each night.

I like tracker but with a caveat. If its a town tracker I would hope the mafia KP is observable ( not factional) even if it means it still couldn't be roleblocked.
|
Tracker is my favorite in a game that uses it correctly. (Having a certain person on the team that delivers the kill)
it is also more ambiguous then cop and creates more #bigplays since scum can fake claim other power roles and stuff instead of just being like, you're scum, no im miller blah blah blah.

I was tracker once, and scum framed my (town) target so I saw him visit the dead guy and I misslynched him D2 and town lost...
...so yeah Parity Cop please (never got it though)
Tracker also sucks because you have like 60% chance to target a VT and get squat, maybe every single night. Works best in themed games with lots of visits and shit.

Pure luck though, it told me nothing

I don't think tracker would ever be in a game where KP was delivered factionally

Also, remember that time I claimed watcher when I was a Voyeur? Awkward.

Parity Cops are fun, and as cool as Trackers and Watchers are - my mind still hasn't fully grasped their awesomeness yet In fact, this poll makes me sad that I've never been blue before T_T
