"A Tank should protect

A Marksman should deal damage

A Mage should Poke

A Support should make gold for the Jungler

An Assasin should kill"

How long have you been playing? League is not that simple.

Tanks have many jobs which range from CCing enemies, peeling allies, damage sponging, and/or forcing focus away from squishier allies.

Marksmen generally aim to stay alive while on the outskirts of a teamfight, auto attacking whenever they can but their primary goal is to kite.

Mages have way too many roles to really go into. They generally bring some sort of damage with a few exceptions which bring other things, they can sometimes be powerful CCers, poke damage, burst damage, supportiness, or anything really.

Supports again have many different roles, some protect their allies, while others set up kills on enemies. They generally try to build cheap items and gold generating items to allow their team to get the CS.

Assassins should flank and scout, roaming to ether kill or set up kills on enemies.

Also Olaf is none of those things, he is a bruiser. A champion which is a cross between a tank and a Marksman (or sometimes a cross between tank and mage). Bruisers aim to be a highly damaging threat while building tanky enough to survive the enemy's initial burst.
