The only reason people still play this setup over the other ones is that we have newer players who don't like to think, and this is the least "thinky" competitive setup right now. Yes, it is INCREDIBLY town sided. What's funny is how often town STILL fails.
Yes, we all know massclaiming d1 leads to town autowin. This setup is unbalanced, and the only reason the stats don't show that is because there are a whole lot of failtowns in the world.
Massclaim only works if a blue is shot n1. If a PR is shot n1, massclaiming gives maf the opportunity to make it to 3-way lylo with no clears, which is only 33% town win. They do have to get someone ML'd to do that, but that's not the hardest thing to do. Good maf in that situation have two maf cc blue and one cc a PR.
Venser, assuming mafia can always get someone to be ML'd d1, the odds would be 3/7(shooting blue) + 4/7(shooting PR)*1/3(3-way) = 13/21 =~ 62% town win That's assuming town can't scumhunt and mafia will always get someone ML'd. Even in that situation this setup is broken.
