My truly unpopular opinion is that removing leg grabs was good for the sport and if you think leg grabs would improve your Judo then your Judo sucks to begin with.

I mostly agree but I miss being able to knee tap or kata garuma. My go to technique used to be using kouchi gari to feed the foot to my hand and throwing from there.
