@Meddler I have a very valid question regarding champion tags

I'm not really good at writing formal paragraphs so I'll just ask this: if Alistar's role identity is a support, and @rito acknowledges that, why isn't he tagged as support? If Annie is primarily a midlaner, but acknowledged as a support secondary by most of the League playerbase, was it in her core design or is it expendable, like Nidalee's position as support, but then turning into fighter, if, god forbid, Annie ever got reworked. And if Annie's core identity is a bear mage mid, is her secondary support, or is she straight up a mage, according to you guys? The point of this thread is pretty much to ask: where do tags stand as means to identity because i read patch notes, but glance at a champion's tag, and they are something totally different.

TL;DR: could we please clean up tags, pretty please? I mean if Annie isn't a support in her core design, fine, do not add it as a secondary, but if it is, please tag it? Please?

tags are expendable.. remember Sona is tagged as a "Mage" but rito keeps nerfing her dmg, reworked her into the dumpster, and are still nerfing her dmg but she still has that "mage" tag...

I'd understand Alistar, but not Annie. Annie's got her passive, but the rest of her kit isn't really intended to be support-y. It's not how Riot designed her, so she doesn't have the label. She can be played as one, however, and that's the player meta at work.
