Voodoo in ranked

deletedover 9 years

Is voodoo allowed in ranked ? I am asking because of this setup I made. Voodoo is not the most important role, but it's definitely needed, and I would like to see this setup be played as Ranked.

Could a potential modification of the role make it so that the ban is lifted?


There's really no way to make a role that randomly kills people for saying a word acceptable in ranked play imo. It's a sandbox role.

It also has two guns, which is traditionally left for unranked.

I added some of these roles to Main since there was nowhere besides sandbox to use these roles in an unranked environment. Voodoo has its place, but it is not in ranked play in Main Lobby.

There are a lot of setups that use roles that are popular as unranked setups (not closed role), which is why I enabled them in Main.

While I agree that in most cases, voodoo makes people talk less, that is not the case with this setup.

We played 200+ games (unranked) and people talk a lot, and voodoo kills can be used for towns advantage because of ORC's, who reveal someone when they die, meaning that no guns have to be wasted.

Infact, sometimes orc's attempt to get voodooed by saying the most obvious words in order to reveal the maf.

Trust me when I say this, Voodoo works perfectly with this setup, it makes it balanced.
So before it is completely disregarded, I would like it to be tested out.

No, we don't allow voodoo in ranked (I love the role too though), because it makes people concentrate on how to type and troll instead of playing. It also discourages talking.

It also gives unfair advantage to mafia, cause you can't really factor in the "luck" what a voodoo death does to a setup.
