It does, Rito just didn't implement their new classification inside the client yet. And honestly I started to like some of the newer classes (except for artillery/battle mage, the old good poke/tanky mage terms created by players are imo much shorter and more accurate):

Obsolete support is ambigously used for both the game role and position, leading to confusion- and  were officially classified as supports by Rito. With the new controller class this is not misleading anymore. Because even if controller class is most commonly seen in the position of support, it is not the same.

Obsolete assassin class refers also to champs (, ...) that just feel different from true assassins- the heavy ability casters. Rito's recently moved the autoattacked-based killers into new subclass, skirmishers, and the class was renamed into slayers to cover both assassins and skirmishers.
