I played several games for the first time on 1.5 ever since MM was added.
Since I'm the best and most experienced Mafia player on Battle.net, here's my input for improvement and sensibility:
1) Add an "Exclude Blackmailers" option for "Mafia Support".
(Blackmailers are far more op in pub than Consig and Consort and have always been so. Since Framers now give a random read (which is so fucking stupid... towns are dumb enough and now there's no logic to Framer's night action and playing as a non-detection immune Framer now (which is the typical pub option) is weak as shit since Investigators detect their exact role), Blackmailers > Framers, so putting Blackmailers on par with Framers is just bad logic. Blackmailers are the most powerful Mafia troll role since you can mimic your victim's effect during the day, which almost always ends up in a no-lynch day.)
2) If possible in code, under "Town Random", add an option for Coroners to be enabled only if there's a Janitor and/or Disguiser which cleans.
(This should have been done long ago if it's possible, honestly.)
3) Make -lw (text here) possible again.
(Having to use a mouse/trackpad to type a -lw now is retarded. It's almost worth no longer even bothering with -lws anymore, it's such an unnecessarily slowing inconvenience. This isn't an APM game here. The new -lw system is a huge step backwards. Keep it for those who like it, but make it possible to type -lws old school style as well. At least make it so it can be managed entirely through the keyboard using the Tab key or something if possible.)
4) DR, put in a request to Blizzard to allow a created private game to become "Open to Public" like every other custom game out there and like it's always been.
(SC2 Mafia is nearly not worth playing anymore due to troll hosts being impossible to prevent from the get-go now. I've always been host 95+% of the games I play and everyone has always appreciated it; I have the most balanced save template and I waste no time. Now... it's a complete mess trying to get a decent game going.)
5) Ban me from being allowed to play as MM.
(This role is op and I am far too op with it. This is now the most fitting role for me using my day play style. MM is basically a roaming vet that can pick targets like a BG (I'm not a fan of bgs--op and gambling and skypers own with them). I got MM for the first time and killed 7 players on n2 pointing a finger on who to check and calling him maf (i was lynched the next day, but I just wanted to see how many sheep i could shear).)
P.S. Don't ban me from MM. I love being MM. MM > Vet now by far.
