Forgive the brevity of this post, though I would like to spark what I think would be an interesting discussion.
When people speak of individual classes, they have an idea of what role the class is supposed to play. For instance, wizards are supposed generalists while Barbarians are supposed damage-sponges.
But I feel these assumptions are made without much depth. Perhaps because the evidence is thought of as self-evident. I.E. why would a barbarian have the highest HD if they weren't damage sponges.
So my point of discussion: What role, in your mind, are the classes in 5e meant to fill in a party? What features/traits supports your stance?
