Of course, I knew people would bring up changelings being "supposed" to be the strongest in 1v1 combat, however that doesn't mean they should be almost impervious to all of the vampire's abilities.
tbh mixed isn't really my all-time favorite mode because it is basically just a lottery of which antagonist you get, if you get changeling then you are set.
Also everyone tends to carry lights around with them, so a changeling that is wary of vampires or just decided it wanted more light can get hit with all the vamp's abilities, acid spit + neurotoxin them, then eat them with eat them.
I think that vampires need to be removed from mixed and made admin-only again so that they are a bit more of a wild-card than a regular antagonist because they have a very non-harmonious dynamic with the other antagonists in mixed.
Mixed is basically rock paper scissors: Changeling>Vampire>Wizard>Traitor
Also the whole dealio that changelings can instantly disable someone with no weapons whatsoever, so can the vampire (to the average dude), but the changeling cannot be easily killed by the vampire's abilities, the vampire needs a laser to soften a changeling up into critical so that he can wait for the changer to go unconscious, otherwise the changeling will sting them when they get close and auto-win.
and then there is the fact that the changeling already has a range attack that does an instant KO. (especially bad since it can do this while stunned.)
Vampire = changeling lite.
