Vanguards are also Divers

And divers can function as wardens when the need arises.

Prove me wrong on why this whole "sub-class" fiasco holds any substance or merit apart from conditioning players into a specific behaviour instead of just utilising the mechanics and numbers they have in accordance to what they can and have to do in order to win.

If you have an Akali bursting your ADC over and over again and you play Vi, you don't dive the enemy ADC, you protect yours. If you don't have any serious backline threats and you play Shen, you go deep and control the front line.

Simple as that. The roles are completely meaningless.

Just because you're more specialized for a certain task doesn't mean you can't do anything else. Sion is a vanguard, but I peel with him. Alistar is a Warden, but I can and often do engage with him.

Subclasses just give a better idea of how that champion is balanced.

Why are you bothered by that?

You know, I could spend my time typing a detailed response on why this is wrong, but it's really just not worth it.

of course they're worthless, most of the labels are stupid as hell

dota2's categorization does a MUCH better job in every way, telling what the champion does and not what they are.
