These roles lists are also under the assumption that you'll be the only person filling that role for the team. So, ideally, you'd be the best person for said role for any given configuration of players.
It's unfortunate that you decided to interpret this list as "you're terrible at jungling because I didn't put "jungle" after your name. That's really not helpful to this process. Note I have neither "melee" nor "support" after mine, but I think I can safely say I do perfectly well at either of those roles. I didn't put them because I think I make a bigger contribution to the team as a carry or melee dps. Do I enjoy playing ranged carries over and over again? No, I like to mix it up. But that's not what we're going for here. And no, before it's said, that doesn't mean "oh I guess that means I can't have fun." It means we're trying to be efficient and competitive with this. Not all of us fill all roles equally well on a competitive level. And no, that doesn't mean anyone thinks you're awful; if that were the case I wouldn't have just added you to the list before you even knew this existed (I can show you the timestamp on the word doc I copied this from).
So, again, given the above what three roles would you give yourself assuming a team has one of each of the following: ranged dps, melee dps, caster, tank, support.
I suppose I would say the list you put me on would be accurate in some ways. I still don't think I "excel" at support, in comparison to games of Malzahar/Kennen or Caitlyn (examples, not necessarily my best characters in those roles but simply the first in mind that I do enjoy playing). I think I'd bump support to a fourth and jungle to third. Interestingly, I have a rough time supporting "Jungle" classification from its actual role outside of jungle. I'm not making a classification argument akin to "But then Lux is also a Ranged Ap and not just Support, so what?" but more in terms of "Jungle" being the location they are doing their leveling. It'd be like specifying "Teemer play Dual Lane" (total example) or "Kaaden solo". Thankfully, jungler tends to alternate between three roles (which can be simplified to the first two, if wanted) of "melee dps, tank, assassin".
