I agree. I believe the change in name was at least partially to make it easier for IT to sell to management.

I don't envy the person trying to convince their manager to switch to Riot.

But 'vector' sounds fine and cyber. Or 'scalar'.

They could at least go with 'LMNT' (leet manager's new tool) and make the logo a cyber ambigram, like this: ` |_|\|\|¯| `.

As you can see, I do sympathize with their struggles XD

IIRC, I saw in a discussion somewhere that most of the math related names are already taken, and Vector was moved off of for search rankings or some such thing.

And yeah, Element is a pretty boring name.
