All the League of Legends roles

Hello guys my name is Brady and I just want to ask something that is not your everyday question.

How many ROLES are in league of legends?

This will include every lane and every role a champion can have.

example: Caitlyn is a Marksman, that's played ADC, in the Bot lane

I just want to see how many different roles are there in league, and also if you can list them on this thread.

The main reasons why I want to know this is:

I want to learn more roles that I probably don't even know about but still exist.
And also I'm really curious, are there more than 10 roles in League of Legends?

Thank you

Not entirely sure if this is what you want, But typically champs fall under one or two of these roles:

Mage Marksman Tank Bruiser Fighter Assassin Enchanter

Some champs can fall under multiple categories, or be reasonably built into multiple different categories. Each role can also have more specialized sub roles. For example mages fall into burst-mages(syndra, lux) Battle-mages(swain, vlad) artillery-mages (xerath, velcoz, zoe kind-of intersects with burst) and also dps-mages (cassio, azir)

The amount of sub-roles is pretty arbitrary and can change depending on what you actually count as a sub-role.

yes exactly that's what i want to know.

As you said there are the normal roles like Mage, Marksman, etc.

And then you have those burst-mages and battle-mages.

I want to see how many are there exactly, also I just found out the role "Roamer" was a thing as well

edit: forgot to say, thank you! pardon me.
