Talk:Role

Jungler and Tank are not roles, they are properties. Junglers have the ability to spend the laning phase in the jungle. It however has little relevance after the early laning phase, when everyone has the ability to jungle.

This isn't LoL. there is no "Tank" role. Any competent team will focus the tankier heros last, or even during the fight, as in Dota, stacking health and armor has diminishing returns compared to carries that stack dps. Going around "having everyone's attention" is hoping that the other team is bad. Tanky can be used as an adjective. Heros such as tidebringer and pudge can be harder to kill in the earlier game, but during the fight, they don't do much after they use their ults. One the flipside, heros such necrolyte, death prophet, and lesrahc build tanky items because their skills allow them to dps during a fight. The exception being Axe who can actually force enemies to focus him.
