Are SKs Played Wrong?

Yes, but that is actually not in any way responsive to what I just said. Players don't get to choose their roles.

then just don't play sk setups if they are not your cup of tea

serial killers provide an additional layer of complexity to mafia, thereby raising the skill ceiling beyond the ones commonly seen in informed minority vs uninformed majority

I don't think setups where the sk has an astronomically low % chance of winning are inherently bad setups because you can also say that they are a true testament to the extent of one's capabilities

ok so I'm gonna ask what's the story behind the nk immune Miller vig

[yessiree]

If putting an SK makes a setup impossible to balance around, it looks to me the setup wasn't bulletproof to begin with ie. 1) there's an over reliance on specific

roles

and interactions, or 2) there's an over reliance on specific numbers and ratios.

So the introduction of an SK isn't the cause of the imbalance - rather, it highlighted the flaws already present in the setup

[yessiree]

I think the SK is fine for overall game balance. In fact, my balance philosophy is probably a bit more cross kill heavy than most mods would be comfortable with, but from an individual balance perspective its inherently bad.

true. micro vs macro perspective

I think a lot of people are simply not looking at the macroscopic view, or make over generalization that since sk is bad from a micro perspective that it must be bad all the time

necrobump, give SK the respect it deserves by learning how to play it properly.

since we went there, im gonna summarize it more elegantly
