I suppose the answer to that is.

We already have plenty of champions who are very offensive that have a few defensive abilities. Kalista just has mobility at the end of the day. You want to talk about a Marksman that delivers a lot of damage while being sort of hard to kill and fairly defensive to boot that would be Jayce and that's why they changed what the roles mean in a nutshell. It only means what it means. It doesn't define role or pigeon hole design. Any character can have whatever they felt fit the theme and the player decides where to make that champion most effective for them.

A marksman is just a champion that does most of it's damage in ranged auto attacks. There are certain champions with designs that make it more likely to fit that role but a bottom lane marksman could just as easily become a top lane bruiser.
