I think you underestimate just how much damage game removal did to morale of townies.
I get it, RN and Melkor should have been our lord and saviours but those two simply aren't calibres to be active, follow the game and respond to problems.
Also when you saw RN be afk and not play why didnt you allow me to craft anti-game removal?
Oh i understand TAC's role because i had the same one with Joker in Batman game, but my Joker had clear weaknesses and counters, Joker to the very end was possible to lose the game but Zem played it very well and she managed to win.
TAC's role fundamentally didn't have any counter to it what so ever, and since we didn't have enough invests to know what it is about we couldn't react to it in any way
You can't expect town to play 100% right just to win, that's not how it rolls
