Seeing how the Genshin Impact renaming effort ended up I think it's only fair we did the same about League of Legends, a similarly game-based franchise that suffers from the same problem.
To get you up to speed, some LoL character tags use their full names, some of which start with a completely different name from their unique in-game name. This makes these champions (characters) borderline impossible to search. I can assure you that you could set up a contest with Faker, some other top five pro players worldwide and a couple Riot employees to give away a million dollars to whoever guessed the names of either LeBlanc or Miss Fortune and nobody would win. I cannot stress just how obscure they are.
First I want to address champions whose names are canonically correct but different from what everyone knows them by. Out of 155 champions (counting multiple-entity champions as one), 94 champions don't have qualifiers. Of the 155 champions, 16 don't use their in-game name, 5 of which have names that are impossible to find with autocomplete. The old autocomplete behavior made some characters searchable, but as it behaves differently now, this is no longer the case.

The names were sourced from the official wikia page, which were sourced from the in-game store, but are otherwise 100% identical to the names that show up while playing, the only names the players know the characters by.
The following parts will address the qualifier (which could be different) and the inconsistencies, but for now this should do.
