Okay- my stance on roles is as follows:
Stonewards, and Bondsmiths are definitely the weakest roles. Stonewards get a somewhat decent redirect at ideal 4, and have a nice and easy ideal proc. Bondsmiths get neither of those things, having an extremely niche ideal proc and the adhesion surge (which I would refrain from using).
Willshapers are the thugs of this game, I feel. It's basically so heavily implied in the order ability. Not that thugs are bad, but still.
Edgedancers, likewise, are the lurchers of this game. They place mid-low due to the amount of role-blocked and redirects in this game.
The surge of illumination is by far the most powerful in my opinion. It puts lightweavers and truthwatchers at the top of my tier list for sure.
Windrunners and Skybreakers are very similar, but I would say Skybreakers are slightly better. Elim for either is also strong. Due to the scan on skybreaker 4th ideal, I would compare the skybreaker to a seeker.
Dustbringers are more akin to coinshot, in the way they have an incentive to try and hit elims. Their ideal proc is very village coded, and due to their extra survivability, they match more of a standard vig role.
An Elsecaller can screw people up in many ways. Without great foresight, the massive utility given by the surge of transformation could actually bite you. It places near middle.
So yeah.
Yeah I sorta went ahead and compared all the roles before the game even started sorry bro.
