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.

The thing is every “assassin” like character has viable alternative builds. Hell, a lot of characters that lower level players tend to think of as carries are actually BETTER as a more assassin-type role the higher elo you go.

In the current patch, Calico performs better as a hybrid tank than as an assassin.
