Now for you to know, there are actually six official riot classifications. These are the Marksman, Mage, Assassin, Tank, Fighter, and Support. To be more knowledgeable regarding the topic, here are short yet concise descriptions of these six.
Marksman
Marksmen are also called as "AD Carries." If you are to choose a class which is a range champion or that which can deal with physical damage even when not going near to the opponent, you've got to be the team's marksman. Likewise, marksmen are usually good at dealing sustained damages during the late game than in the early game, especially if it has already been equipped with the necessary items. Marksmen's forte is actually destroying the enemy turrets. However, they have a weak defense. In the game, some of the marksmen are Miss Fortune, Varus, Ashe, and Caitlyn.
Mage
Mages can sometimes also be called as "AP Carries." If you are to choose a class that deals with a powerful magic damage skill and has also its support skills, you've got to be the team's mage. However, mages have a weak defense and low mobility which could be an easy target your opponents. If you are the mage, you can have your own tactics such as attacking enemies from afar. Mage's special skills can really be damaging that is why during clashes, mages are very much important. Some famous mages are Lux, Swain, Karthus, and Lissandra.
Assassin
Assassins are best when it comes to killing a foe the fastest way possible. If you are looking for a class that is of excellent mobility, you've got to go with being the assassin. However, it has a weak defense especially once one got caught, though it still opts to go after an opponent's AD/AP Carry and those classes with a weaker defense as well. The most common assassins are Fizz, Zed, Katarina, and Diana.
Tank
Tanks are literally just the same with its lexical definition. This type of class is very much hard to get killed. They are usually the team's shield as they absorb all the damages supposedly aimed for its team members. Although its defense is best, it has a less damage dealt with. However, it can be a great source of crowd control as it distracts enemies and keeps the enemies attack tanks first instead of its co-champions. The most common examples of tanks are Sejuani, Zac, Malphite, and Rammus.
Fighter
Fighters are usually best at fighting near the foes. This type of class blends the attributes of a damage dealer and that of the tank, and sums up a moderate survivability with damage dealt. To be able to win against its foe, it must stay close enough to its target.
The most famous fighters are Wukong, Jax, Rek’Sai, and Xin Zhao.
Support
Supports, as the term suggests, are simply the support system of the team. This type of class is actually intended to aid the rest of the team by offering them the buffs they need, healing them with their ability and other forms of support. The most famous supports are Nami, Taric, Alistar, and Soraka.
