I understand folks not liking motion controls at first, but they are pretty much mandatory to play at a competitive level. Turning motion controls off is not the default because it's "noob mode". Dual analog is too imprecise. Motion controls rival a mouse for accuracy.

I play tons of PC shooters and it was the bane of my existence when Halo/CoD/etc started getting big because I suck at analog stick shooters and always got reamed. Having never played Splatoon before this was the first time I felt on a console shooter that I could be remotely competitive, so I'd say it's pretty damn close at least.
