In a lot of video games, as well as most other media forms, there are usually two types of characters: Those who handle the main objectives (i.e. the main protagonist(s)), and those who support whoever is handling said main objectives (i.e. the main protagonist's various companions). Sometimes, it's in the form of the soldiers who fight on the battlefield, and the operators who guide their troops from the mission control room, or special forces operators and regular soldiers. Other times, it's The Mentor providing teachings to The Hero, who would make good use of said teachings to complete the rest of the mission.
Regardless, you can't have too many people handling a single job. Have everyone handle the combat role, and they'll die too quickly and easily. Have everyone handle the support role, on the other hand, and they'll be unable to complete their main objectives. Split the whole team into two halves, one focusing on combat, and the other focusing on support, and you've created a well-balanced team that can handle anything.
This concept is very much Truth in Television. Everyone can only do so much in modern militaries (and likely long, long past that...at least Older Than Print, since European knights had squires to take care of their equipment).
See tropes such as An Adventurer Is You for more information.

Angel
Combat: Angel, Gunn, Wesley, Cordelia
Support: Fred and Lorne - Fred was physically smaller and Lorne a pacifist. However, like on Buffy, the roles were flexible and Fred sometimes fought as well. Cordelia could also be support in the early seasons, but tended toward combat as the series progressed. Doyle was mostly support due to his preference to avoid fights when possible, but he did become combat a few times.

Combat: Salvador (fighting at close-to-mid range with his "Gunzerker" talent), Axton (mid-to-long range with aid from his Turret), and Krieg (A close-range Combat Sadomasochist).
Support: Maya (crowd-control through Phaselocking, and healing with the Harmony skill tree), Zer0 (sniping, distracting the enemy with Decepti0n), though both can be specced for Combat with the right skill tree.
Either: Gaige can be specced for Combat (through the Ordered Chaos and Little Big Trouble skill trees) or Support (through Best Friends Forever)

The Joy of Creation: Story Mode's memories:
The Bedroom:
Combat: Freddy, Bonnie, and Golden Freddy. The former two provide the most direct danger, and Golden Freddy's outright supernatural abilities exacerbate the danger of young Nick's fear and hallucinations.
Support: Chica and Foxy. Chica merely stuns Nick should he have his lamp on or pretend to sleep in front of her; and Foxy only kills Nick if he stares at him, but blocks the lamp and curtains.
The Living Room:
Combat: Freddy and Foxy periodically scan areas of the room, and they kill Val should either of them see her. Val must use the television to desynchronize their arrivals.
Balance: Bonnie behaves similarly to Freddy and Foxy, but he can't be paused, can't enter at the same time another animatronic does, and appears more rarely. He wouldn't be challenging to deal with by himself.
Support: Chica can't directly kill Val unless it's 5 AM, but she puts the pressure on her to not use the camera system for extended periods of time.
The Office:
Combat: Foxy and Chica. The former tries to get Scott through the office entrances and must be deterred through the cameras, and Chica can wriggle to the office, prompting Scott to find her cupcakes to fend her off.
Support: Bonnie and Freddy. The former can break Scott's camera (though Foxy never appearing at the respective entrances again renders Bonnie a Helpful Mook), and the latter enforces a requirement for Scott to repeatedly flash his light at him to escape at 6 AM.
The Basement's second segment:
Combat: Endo C instances are the most present danger, necessitating that you keep your eyes and ears peeled when searching.
Support: Endo R's occasional approaches put pressure on you to be able to reach the bathroom in time.
The Basement's last segment:
Combat: Endo B instances, as much as they Can't Move While Being Watched, are the more mobile and active threat.
Support: Endo C instances step back to this role, acting as a pair of roadblocks.
The Attic:
Combat: The Fallennote Endos B, R, C, and F. They're the most imminent dangers to you, as well as the game's main means of diverting your attention from the lower cameras.
Balance: Creation slowly approaches you and must be periodically halted with the camera lights. He's the memory's main antagonist and the one Michael tried to feed Scott to.
Support: Golden Freddy. He must be flashed with camera lights to make progress, but his only direct attack is to occasionally appear behind you, preventing you from using the side doors for too long.

Monday Night Combat
Combat: Tank, Assault, Gunner. Played with, since pretty much anyone with Juice is a good leader for an attack on the enemy moneyball and turrets (the Sniper and Assasin tend to be very good at getting it constantly).

In World of Warships, all ship classes can do a mix of this, though some are more suited to one than the other. Players who ignore this and prefer to engage in pure combat regardless of their preferred ship class are often sunk quickly and can cause whole matches to be lost for their team.
Battleships are primary combat vessels as one would expect, however at high tiers their numerous anti-air guns make them effective at support in defending carriers from enemy air strikes.
Cruisers have a strong combat role, but are also suited to anti-air support and anti-destroyer support, as their guns turn and fire faster.
Destroyers are primarily support ships, working best to capture targets and to harass enemy ships, although they can go toe-to-toe with battleships and carriers in direct combat with their maneuverability and torpedoes, but they will not survive long against cruisers.
Carriers are primarily long range combat ships, using their dive bombers and torpedo bombers to devastate enemy battleships and cruisers, though they can also provide fighter support against enemy bombers.

Marvel Cinematic Universe's Eternals is about a Super Team of ageless aliens who have Been There, Shaped History for, uhh, the entirety of history — which is why all their names are related to mythological characters, which their exploits inspired. While they are 7,000 years old and typically know how to handle themselves in a crisis, their power sets still divide evenly down the middle, and — probably not by coincidence — when they do their lineup at the beginning of the film, all the Combat types are on the left and the Supports on the right:
Combat: Ikaris (Superman Substitute, Number Two), Makkari (Super-Speed), Thena (Spontaneous Weapon Creation), Gilgamesh (Boxing Battler with Power Fist), Kingo (Hand Blast)
Support: Ajak (Healing Hands, The Leader), Phastos (Technopath, Gadgeteer Genius), Druig (Mass Hypnosis), Sprite (Master of Illusion), Sersi (Transmutation)

Star Wars: The Old Republic's character classes
Combat: Jedi Knight and Trooper (Galactic Republic), Sith Warrior and Bounty Hunter (Sith Empire) - good for main damage and tanking
Support: Jedi Consular and Smuggler (Galactic Republic), Sith Inquisitor and Imperial Agent (Sith Empire) - excellent for supporting damage and healing
Note that any class can pick from two advanced classes, and each advanced class has three specialization trees. Meaning a Sith Inquisitor, for example, can pick Sorceror (Damage/Healing) or Assassin (Damage/Tanking). There's a lot of options.

Team Fortress 2:
Combat: Scout, Pyro, Heavy, Demoman, and Soldier.
Technically the Demoman counts as support, but his presence on the frontlines makes him a combat class. He's the closest thing in the game to artillery.
The Scout and Pyro also arguably blur the lines. The Scout is good in 1v1s but decidedly too squishy to hold his own in mass combat. The Pyro finds his greatest utility in keeping projectiles and enemies away from her allies, getting behind enemy lines and distracting them, or prowling tight quarters where it's hard for enemies to escape its flames, none of which lend themselves well to direct damage in the thick of battle.
Support: Engineer and Medic for direct backup, Sniper and Spy for precision elimination.

OMORI's main party exemplifies this trope on a sliding scale. From Combat to Support:
Aubrey makes powerful swings and counterattacks with her bludgeons; she's the party's tank and the most combative.
Omori relays fairly strong attacks and inflicts Damage-Increasing Debuffs on enemies, making him a strong overall contributor to the party's offense.
Kel's speed can be exploited for multiple purposes. While it's an element of his infamous nuke strat, the more obvious use is to quickly use items to aid the party in battles.
Hero is the Stone Wall who can cook to heal the party without using Snacks, making him the main supporter.

Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II:
Combat: Merchant (Tressa, Partitio); Warrior (Olberic, Hikari); Thief (Therion, Throné); Hunter (Ha'anit, Ochette). What these characters have in common is that they have a Choice of Two Weapons.
Support, meanwhile, only get to equip one weapon natively: Cleric (Ophilia, Temenos); Scholar (Cyrus, Osvald); Dancer (Primrose, Agnea); Apothecary (Alfyn, Castti).
Zigzagged in that, fairly early in the game, you can unlock the ability to assign each character one sub-class, and these classes can be changed at any timenote Though you still have to spend Job Points to unlock abilities. Also, you have to jump through some hoops in the second game to get extra "Licenses" before you can equip the same subjob on more than one character; the first game does not let you do this at all. While it's totally possible to keep the Combats and Supports segregated, you can also run around with eight Balanced characters, or even mix-and-match at your discretion.
Finally, there are secret classes that can only be equipped as a subjob:
1: Warmaster is Combat; Starseer and Runelord are Balanced; Support is Sorcerer.
2: Armsmaster is Combat; Balanced is Arcanist and Conjurer; Support is Inventor. Notably, the other three classes are reworks of the first game's Warmaster, Starseer and Runelord, but Inventor has nothing in common with Sorcerer, which was basically an Exaggerated Black Mage.

In the Assassin's Creed franchise, Support includes:
Assassin's Creed: Vigilantes (or mercenaries in Assassin's Creed II) for better combat and scholars (or thieves/courtesans in Assassin's Creed II) for better stealth.
Assassin's Creed II: The Villa (Rome in Brotherhood, Constantinople in Revelations) for an income of money, an influx of tourists, and procurement of such items as medicine, weapons, and armor.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: The assassin apprentices for team attacks and retrieving new gold and items. They can also level up over time as if ACB were an RPG.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations: Assassin's Dens, which need defending in Tower Defense-style gameplay. They are great for renovating each home city too.
