I guess I'm not sure what you mean as I feel there is plenty of battlefield support. Is the important part there "role" and not battlefield?
D&D 5E So whatever happened to the Tactics Variant/Module or Whatever

Not everything is a comparison and 4e will not always be better- it cannot be ubiquitous like it was in chainmail (nor as absolute) so giving it other subtle control like the control I added which fit flavorwise seems a compensation for the indirect control it used to get.
OK, it just threw me off.
FYI, I do give my dragons some control as there BW leaves an area of effect and often applies some conditions (sorry the fireball just reminded me).

Adjective is battlefield indicating type and noun is role ... could call it combat role too.
( though in theory you could actually have a non-combat tactical expansion)

Controller was as much an excuse to grandfather in more of the wizard's favorite toys as a role, but, the rationale appeared to be that large-area damage would limit enemies' tactical options. Thus minion-sweeping also fell to the controller.

And the early edition had fighters become minion sweepers too as they levelled (if the DM used them zero levels it could in theory make fighters feel pretty badass)

Ha! I didn't ask which was adjective and which was a noun, I asked which you thought was important.
I still don't know which is important to you from your response.

I don't disagree there is some control implied with a fireball, but I was trying to point out that the spell is the same in 4e as it is in 5e.

Adjectives cannot stand alone they describe the other and I pointed out you could in theory also create a non-combat tactical module which might be very intriguing to be honest.
