Thanks for your comparison and review!
I too think it would be good for EA to make an official guide to skills and abilities. That is, how to use them correctly and in what cases. Because at the moment our experience of use is only based on the description of these skills.
I think I've heard them say they don't plan on doing that as it will just lead to people micro-optimizing their builds, which I guess is fine, that's their choice, but in the end, good players will figure out what's strongest either way.
At the bare minimum though, it would be nice if there was a way to get a bit more information about how some of the situational ones like Shutdown activate. Would also be cool if they could prove they all worked lol. It would also be nice if there are ones that only work against CPU Players for some reason that that was specified and they were potentially removed from EASHL, but I don't know if any of them work like that, that's pure speculation on my part.

You'd think maximizing user engagement would be a goal.
The lack of clear, concise and simple explanations about all X-Factors leads me and many others to simply not care about them. I apply the ones I think will do something to better my playstyle in WoC, but I never really notice them.
Same with OVP - I try to recognize who has what XFactor, but I hardly factor them into my gameplay because I'm just not sure what most of them do, how to activate them, etc.
As long as we know what Close Quarters and One Tee do then that is all that matters haha
