What is the niche of every champion? [Riot focused]

As we all know now Riot is working on the Assassin Update coming this preseason.

They have said some small teaser-like things on the boards to give us an idea of what we can expect. One of the main things they have said us is what niche the type of Assassin delivers (e.g. Talon is THE roaming assassin, Katarina is THE teamfight assassin) so you can think about what strenght you gonna deliver to your team.

But now comes the big question: What is the niche of EVERY champion? Yes, Riot did release a board about Classes & Subclasses a while ago but that doesn't say what niche a champion gives (especialy the hybrid-classed champions) like:

-What niche do these Maokai Yasuo Jax MonkeyKing bring making them different from others? Maokai feels very similar toMalphite Rammus by being an tank that builds mostly defense to soak up damage and can engage/disrupt.

Yasuo is known for his heavy hypercarry 1v5 lategame style, yet so does Gangplank MasterYi by murdering everyone on the screen with huge crits and AoE.

Jax, infamous for his lategame splitpushing and hybrid kit, but why pick him when there isIrelia Shyvana who can pretty much do the same thing the same way.

MonkeyKing is scary because of his hard all-ins and disruptive power alonge with damage yet there isXinZhao JarvanIV with the same concept.

As it seems some niches seem to overlap eachother, there are even more examples like Lux Xerath orAnivia Syndra etc, so does Riot have a list that says:

"Aatrox does 'X' so pick him when u need 'A', Ahri does 'Y' so pick her when you need 'B', Akali does 'Z' so...etc"?

I would like to know if you guys know what champion does have what niche and type it below. And if a Rioter is reading this, please make a list so we have more clarity ^_^

-Thanks for reading and for your time.
