Overwatch character tags

Posted under General

Blizzard announced their new IP just a couple of days ago. http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/

How should we go about tagging the characters? Most of them have a code name and real name, which do not seem to be spoilers. I'm in favor of going with the code name (with Overwatch qualifer) being aliased to real name. The exceptions would be Reaper, Winston and Bastion.

It's been forever but I feel like code name is better in this case after having researched the game to some degree (and it's closer to actual release.) Nobody really uses the real names so that's highly likely to cause confusion with no practical advantage.

Also the skullgirls flip where we went from real names to aliases.

d.va is currently one of the most frequent missed searches. Is there a reason to have _(overwatch) when there's no other character with the same name?

Tag length?

But tbh I'd rather keep the qualifier, lots of searches probably from users who don't use autocorrect properly.
