Look at it this way - when you’re a power role, you have to be careful. You don’t want to draw too much attention to yourself because you don’t want to get killed too quickly. You have to balance when to claim, whether to breadcrumb, all that stuff. And that’s fun, sure. But when you’re vanilla town, you don’t have to worry about jack all except playing your best game. If you get mislynched, well, it wasn’t a power role. If you get nightkilled? That’s an honor. The earlier you get offed by scum, the more you scared them.
Power roles are glamorous because you get to claim and often make big plays for town, but VT are the heart and soul of the game.
