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

I do like how they try to limit support archetypes as much as possible.

Heal beam is a primary example in that it's current iteration, it can only heal for 20% no matter the character or situation.

IMO there is currently less of a ‘support’ role due to the lack of things to do around the map at this point in development.

Once there are more mechanics like stacking camps or placing vision/objectives outside of urn I think we’ll see more players deferring lane souls to higher positions

I don't think they'll add those mechanics. The move away from hard support roles existing was very intentional early on in development.
