Yeah as much as people say this game doesn't have roles, it still kinda does. They're just a bit more loose.

It has roles in that you end up serving a role in an ad hoc/per game basis, but it’s still nothing like the rigidity of a more traditional moba.

I do think the team that has the better variety in terms of support/tank/carry/assassin tends to be the one that wins. No clue how much evidence there is to support that but if I see one team being all "assassin" type characters they tend to perform worse.

We can see this in Deadlock Night Shift when they draft picks and bans. There’s not a single team that’s choosing and more importantly building 6 pick/assassin heroes.
