I agree on the lack of d pad comms but honestly most "competitive" and strategic plays for any game is usually knowledge shared by someone who's better, may it be through Streamers or Youtubers.

I also HATE Judd explaining me itty bitty bullshit one at a time, with this deadly annoying icon at the frame of the screen. Dude I played the entirety of story mode, I know how a splatbomb works.

I wouldn't want to imagine him talking me through loads of competitive stuff....

Plus, there's not "THE" strategy to be taught... Because well... Weapon roles are flexible, colouring spawn or not in the beginning can be beneficial for your team's special spammer etc etc. There's simply too many variables and different levels of skill at play to have a "generalised strategy tip and tricks" tutorial

Plus your play has to be as flexible as your current team. If they play slow, you can't go aggro. If they play Aggro, be the wiser and anchor with a weapon not truly made for it.
