Topic: [REJECTED] Tag alias: d.va -> d.va_(overwatch)

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Feel like this should be the other way 'round. Character tags generally only get a subtitle like that, if there's multiple characters with that name, so the subtitle is to differentiate between them. Like "spike_(mlp)" versus "spike_(the_land_before_time)" for example. So, basically, until there's another character named D.va who has nothing to do with Overwatch, I see no reason for the alias to be this way, instead of d.va_(overwatch) -> d.va

Well, all the other overwatch characters have the _(overwatch) suffix, so for the sake of consistency, I believe that keeping this tag as d.va_(overwatch) is preferable.

Do they need the suffix, though?

Feels more, to me, like somebody should do a BUR requesting ALL the Overwatch characters get the inverted alias. Well, unless there are any who have the same name as another character. Those ones can keep the _(overwatch) suffix.

Not all of them need a suffix, but some definitely do - reaper_(overwatch) and mercy_(overwatch), for once.
I just like consistency. It's a matter of preference, I suppose - I have no strong feelings one way or another about flipping those aliases.
