I think this list might have been started when the troop assignments first became a thing (did @Shimrra compile one? I could have sworn someone did I’m going to do some sleuthing if/when I find time), but then again, maybe not, because, until now, the assignments were largely ignored by any serious player, I think.
Because, until now, troop role was just an annoyance—an extra bit of clutter in the sort tool to get in the way of things—but, now, these roles have actual affects on gameplay.
So now the roles that make no sense are much more of a problem.
EDIT: the links I could find are below—
Devs did a great job with assigning roles to almost 700 troops, I just want to ask about some specific cases.
Obsidius is “Mage”. As we know, this role is about AoE damage, but Obsidius deals splash damage, maybe it has to be “Warrior” or “Striker”?
An opposite example: Blade Dancer is “Warrior”, but it deals scatter damage, i.e. AoE as it is. It has to be “Mage”, has not it?
I’m still aggravated about the new troop roles.
This addition serves no real purpose other than to prop up the “troop suggestion” feature, which is already best described as flimsy. But in the process we add yet another thing to the troop cards and to the collection menu, spaces that are already overcrowded - if you can’t find the “troop role” filter, you will have to scroll to see it like I do.
(If you’re going to add needless stuff like this to the card display, at least show the magic stat …
I bet I can break it faster than you:
Black Beast is a “support”. I won. Devs did it first.
I mean… if we’re stuck with a catch-all for the odd troops in the game, at least put them there where they belong. Black Beast should probably be a warrior.

I don’t know if the new Roles field was supposed to solve my problem finding troops, but is definitely does not.
I’ve never thought, “You know what this team needs, an Assassin!”. When I do filter on “Assassin”, I get great troops like High King Irongut and Kraken, mixed in with terrible troops like Wandering Monk and Gnoll Hunter, along with a bunch of super specialized like Gob-Chomper.
I don’t even know what half those roles are supposed to mean exactly and even if I did many of the troop…
The former.
Say you want to have all your “quick start” troops, i.e. empowered AND 50%-to-that-type troops. You go and favorite all the Forest Guardians and Tai-Pans and so on.
Or if its “delve troops” you have all the things that give … whatever you want, huge scaling stats and barriers for instance.
League does it pretty well:
