Some OW skins are simply recolors of another skin, so IMHO they don't need 2 tags.

Also managed to catch a typo: raptorian_pharah should've been raptorion_pharah.

The only one I'm slightly hesitant on is Imp Mercy -> Devil Mercy.

This BUR is a mess. I googled some at random and ultraviolet vs punk tracer appears to have pretty obvious differences. Meanwhile I can find no comparison images of some of these for comparison (like b.va vs junebug d.va).

My main point is that the alt skins in the BUR all use the same 3D models with different colours & names.

I would prefer to have separate tags for separate cosmetics even if they're just recolors because most people, both artists and not, generally perceive them as distinct. Also, if we take the position that recolors shouldn't be counted, we'd have to merge all of the prestige league of legends skins for starters. And what about warhammer 30k chapter tags? Most of them are wearing recolored versions of a few different power armor models.

To be fair the prestige versions usually have pretty different designs. That's probably why they imply the base character directly and not through the base skin. Though actual recolors also exists in league of legends, as with many other games too, so I do think it's important that we set up standards on how they're tagged. Using official alternate color works in theory but it can quickly get unmanageable if the amount of recolors gets out of hand.

Alternate colors (not skins)

Most of these skins (except noche sombra) are in the "epic" tier of skin usually changes not just the colors, but also includes (typically minor) texture changes like how fortune mercy has a floral print, or outlaws brigitte has a team name and logo. cobalt mercy, ascendant zenyatta, and tricolore widowmaker are the only ones that fit neatly into the official alternate color box to me, because they are identical to the base skin except for the outfit colors.

That's what makes them an official alternate color - the base design/model is the same, all Blizzard changes is colors & textures.
