Yes you have all roles which are limited to the frame you play with in a given mission. Just like how in a standard mmorpg you have well defined classes, you can make multiple characters with different classes but that doesn't mean that all if a sudden you get to play your tank class as a damage dealer because you have one on a different account or character slot. Warframe is made nice and liberal to to suit the needs of the western player, it's because people are trying to be the best at both offense and defense and support at the same time, that we have massive confusion over what each frame us supposed to do within the community. You sir are free to do whatever you wish but a trinity that does not heal is defeating the purpose of the frame.

Again, because you have every frame, you should instead be able to grasp the role if each one far better than the regular person who has not played the frame yet, so do please consider what those are instead of laughing at the concept. Truth is that games with well designed and implemented roles are successful, they force the player into a box and that player must then be content with what they get.

A common analogy is that of the grocery store and the cereal section, a store with 5 brands if cereal will allow the consumer to make a quick decision because of the lack if choice and be content with the cereal they bought which required little effort to choose, while a store with 50 brands of cereal will leave a consumer confused and uncertain as to which brand to buy, left with a feeling of uneasiness as to whether they made the right choice or not.

Warframe is the same, you are given too much freedom, most people are not used to dealing with freedom.

Again, stop and think about what you should be doing with the frame you have chosen for a mission, with the weapons you like to play with, stop and think about what your team members are doing and what their roles are as well. We are now given a list of equipment for party members for exactly this purpose.
