The wording for carry is kind of loose. It\'s not about what hero you play, but HOW you play him. The carry is the one, who has the highest priority to get farm and experience in the team. He can be a tank, he can be a physical damage dealer, he can be a caster. All that matters is, that he has the ability to carry the team to victory. Notable examples are Spectre from Dota 2, who is anything but a glass canon and Tinker(fell out of favor as a pure carry. Usually more of a number 2 nowadays) from the same game, who will just start throwing spells left and right once he gets rolling.

Is caster a role? Or is it more of a class? Your role in battle is to cast spells? So anybody else is not allowed to cast spells or how is this supposed to work? \

The jungler then states, that unlike the previous ones, this one somehow overlaps with other roles. All the roles can and will overlap. Yes. Even support and carry, if the stars align. A Silencer(again Dota) can start as a support, end up getting cash and transition into a carry build.
Again, the roles loosely define, what your job within the team is. It\\\'s not some rigid formula, you have to stick to.

Speaking of tank, that\'s more of a characteristic of a hero than an actual role. It\'s not like player aggro is managed as easily as scripted mob aggro. This is no RPG. If you pose no threat, you will be ignored. If you are tanky, you are either the initiator or the carry or {{The Load}}.

If you pose no threat, you will be ignored. If you are tanky and build yourself up to survive as many hits as possible, you are either the initiator or the carry or {{The Load}}.
