It's not that townies are too powerful. It's that this game is a bit too random for my liking.
For example, if the cop finds one of the defenders the townies pretty much win the game. The defenders can protect the cop everynight and the doctor can protect one of the defenders. It makes it almost impossible for the mafia to win.
On the other hand, if team Xbox forms, it's almost impossible for the townies to win. Three mafias--one which gets to kill every night--makes it nearly impossible for the townies to win. With two people dying each night, it's very hard to win even if the cop discovers who the defenders are.
To top it off, the downtrodden man throws everyone for a loop. If he chooses unwisely, the townies are screwed because three of them die. If he gets a lucky guess, up to two mafia members can die in a single night. But since the downtrodden man doesn't get to choose when to strike, more often than not he's going to be left taking a shot in the dark and hoping he gets at least one mafia member.
