I do not believe that the Assassin role is what causes Town to lose. I think Chris just wants to live past Night 1 more frequently. Mafia teams tend to win solely on the docile nature of the players they leave alive.
And with an extra unblockable kill they get to an all docile game quicker. I am not going to disagree with you, but unless you offer some solution to the docile nature of players than it is useless to point it out. I am looking for solutions not statements.
Let's put this in a "common scum power role power rankings" format, if you will.
1. Roleblocker
2. Detective (Basically 1a., which is why I have learned that you can't give scum a multi-use of both. You give one, then one jack use of the other, max.)
3. Untargetable
Here's where it becomes more YMMV, but I'm leaning
4. Scum Tracker
5. Godfather
6. BP
7. Mafia Doc (okay, it's not that common)
8. Jack (depending on abilities)
9. Assassin (basically, it's the most powerful of the one-use powers)
10. Revenger (stronger than Mafia Vig because you can't roleblock the dead)
11. Mafia Vig
12. Bomb (less powerful of the extra killing roles because of the limited selection)
13. Strongman (It's not an extra kill.)
14. Silencer (although if you use it you will probably get kicked in the nuts, hard)
15. Paralyzer (Useful only at lylo)
This is a rough copy and certainly up for debate (and I'm probably missing stuff), but maybe it'll help out on this "Is assassin too powerful" topic.
