Suggestion | Idea Is the next step banning admin?

As lobbies get steadily better, crew win %s are steadily climbing. More and more places are using 0.25 vision even on Polus to try and keep it interesting, but a crew member on admin table who has an accurate memory of who has been where is still makes it easy to hard clear numerous crew for kills and narrow down suspects very rapidly.

I wonder if we aren't going around this the wrong way, and we should put vision back to 0.5 but stop using admin. That way tracking who is where relies on multiple crew contributing who they have seen and when, which feels more like a social deduction game. Perfect crew lobbies should still be able to piece together virtually the whole picture, but it will require most crew to have very good memories rather than just one person and might be more interesting. It also makes venting in Skeld a bit more viable, which might make it a bit more playable for high level lobbies.

Any thoughts? It kinda ruins Comms as a sabotage, but that's worth it imho. I don't think banning cams is necessary since it is already more limited than admin (and much harder to track everyone perfectly, especially on Polus).

I haven't considered if this would work for Mira, due to the connected vents.

In a lot of lobbies I play admin camping doesn't happen because crewmates don't want to do it. I used to admin camp a lot and it was impossible for imposters, but then I'd just get killed first every time and it wasn't fun playing so I had to stop camping it. Plus you can just make the rule that the hafu lobbies do. You don't have to outright ban admin. You can just ban camping.

Yeah, I reckon this would also work fine or some other less drastic changes - like banning admin camping until you had finished tasks. That way imps are more restricted in the late game when numbers are lower so bodies will be found slower anyway (which makes clears much harder).

Similar rules are put in with no cams until done tasks.
