Retributionist
So, why not remove this role entirely? For real, literally 95% of my games as Retri every townie leaves. So there is no use, why even keep this role? Same as medium. Everyone just simply leaves.

Reti should be able to revive while alive or dead. That'll have them stick around.
Yes! Exactly! That would be quite awesome tbh.

This role should be removed because it's stupid broken, not because everyone leaves as soon as they die lol.

You must have some super bad luck to have people leave that often.
Imo I think it's an okay role, would just be better if people stopped leaving. Happens like, 9 out of 10 games for me. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying... :(

To be honest, many people will disagree, but retributionist is the most overpowered role in the game. At ranked games around 1900 elo nobody leaves, so it is easier to experience out how much roles are the actually useful. Retributionist is one of the roles with which players can instantly confirm themselfes (and a medium in many cases), PLUS can bring back a very important person for the town, a jailor, a mayor or anyone else. The roles which can confim themselfes are usually overpowered (like mayor, LO, trans), but retributionist is at another level. He can even confirm mediums at that game AND bring back a really important person to the town. MUST be hugely nerfed asap.
What you are describing, OP, is a community problem, not a role problem.
I know it's a community problem, just thinking because the community, atleast the games I end up in, doesn't seem to change, only gets worse. Hence why I said imo it might aswell be removed.

Either way, it's frustrating as hell none the less that people leave overall, either because people doesn't want their role so they just leave, or just simply die and they leave.

In Ranked, people don't leave. And it's an arguably OP role since...
1) you can bring back a useful townie (and play the numbers game)
2) you automatically confirm the one brought back
3) you semi-confirm yourself
4) you can confirm mediums (well, the dead dude can)

@burningmime people do leave, but nowhere near as often as it seems to happen for op. And the ones leaving tend to be evil, due too how strong ret is.

Retributionist is the strongest town role in the game and frequently wins games in high elo by just reviving night 2. In fact, all of the TS roles are very strong in ranked high elo.

I was being hyperbolic. Yes, some people leave, especially neutral roles, but it's rare in high elo for town to leave until they have no chance left.

This is the Medium's happiest day.

Med shouldn't get too happy, their strength comes from being paired with ret or other meds.
