well, because some streamers from the early days of Valorant misheard the developers say "new hall", if this Reddit post is to be believed. He also told me it's commonly called "U-Haul", because. He told me that Lamps on Bind "is now sometimes called Kitty Cat because a friend sprayed over it with a cat spray and it kind of stuck".

It turned out he meant here, in the part officially marked B-main. He didn't tell me where he meant and I spent a very enjoyable five minutes trying to figure out where on earth he was talking about. Jason Coles (editor of The Indie Game Website) told me that his friends "call one of the areas BBQ", even though "it's definitely not a BBQ". I will lead with what other people have come up with, because honestly they're far more inventive than us.

These are important, because you often need to very quickly communicate where an enemy is. A nice side benefit, though, is that you wind up with your own private and superior ways of describing parts of the map. Friends are a key component of Riot's snazzy new wizard FPS, primarily because they won't (usually) swear at you when you do something stupid. Valorant is great, when it isn't making me sad.
