Actually, it does, because their classification influences balance and design decisions on both champions and their items, so it's important to get them right unless you want to end up creating structural problems in the game's champion and itemization roster later on. Avoiding the acknowledgement of a support role, for example, makes no sense in gameplay terms, and Riot's not going to be able to apply their own classification to the letter without either overhauling their game or creating severe contradictions with existing (and healthy) game mechanics.
