This BUR adds the _(league_of_legends) qualifier to every League of Legends character that doesn't yet have it.

I will let the posts of other higher level members explain why I think this should be done, as they have expressed it well already.

Here is a post by evazion explaining why games with lots of characters should have every character qualified: forum #185636
Here is a post by Hillside_Moose showing it doesn't apply only to gacha games: forum #424208
Here is a post by Damian0358 saying this specific BUR should be carried out: forum #210236

(To explain in short if you do not want to read the posts at the links, it would take a lot of time and energy to debate which characters should get a qualifier and which shouldn't, which is especially a problem for gacha games, but also for other large cast games like FE3H. Because of that, it makes sense to have a general policy of qualification. LoL has a lot of characters, with some of them qualified, some not. It would be more consistent to qualify all of them.)

This opening BUR aliases every character on list of league of legends characters except three.

Separate split BURs to follow to decide between aliases or renames for singed, fiddlesticks, and trundle, as these all have (varying) potential usefulness as tags of their own.

If this is well received, and others think it should be done, I will put some BURs together for the skins to be qualified too, but 1) I wasn't sure if that made sense, and 2) it would be a bit more work getting those together so I don't want to do it until there is some signal it would be useful.

PersonalFowl said in forum #447540:

The closest thing to singed would be burnt.

Thanks for posting that. Helps people decide whether they care to keep singed available.
I would go out on a limb and say burnt is probably close enough for anything that is singed. I don't think we really need to be able to tag with any granularity "how burnt" something is.

Kind of interesting that Danbooru aliased the American "burned" to the Commonwealth "burnt". I've never stopped to think if we should prefer one form of English over the other, or if it's like Wikipedia where a mix is OK.

At the risk of stirring the anthill, given that these are simple names with a long qualifier, what do we think about using (lol) or (league) as qualifier? People rarely refer to this game by its full name. _(league) is probably better.
