Should we kill [tag:teamfight-tactics] and repoint it to [tag:league-of-legends]
I don't believe we should make it a synonym for league-of-legends as the game play is vastly different for TFT than for any other game mode in League of Legends. It is essentially a different game, it ...

Can we rename the [mgs-5-online] tag to [metal-gear-online-3]?
Personally, I don't think it's a good idea to outright change the tag to metal-gear-online-3 from what has come to be known as the more common title: mgs-5-online.
However, I would definitely see ...

Rename tags zerg, terran, and protoss to starcraft-zerg, starcraft-terran, and starcraft-protoss?

Can we get a "black flag" tag synonym for Assassin's Creed 4?
Now that we have a 35 character limit for tag names, I think a better solution would be to rename assassins-creed-4 to assassins-creed-4-black-flag.
