It makes MK unique because there is no proxmity block and you can actually freely walk in and out of the opponents range, baiting and whiff punishing them.
They have patched it 3 times on all platforms and released 2 characters, Kombat league and a bunch of skins?
It's there for nostalgic purposes only. Scorpion had his teleport in Injustice and nothing changed.
Absolutely nothing was patched or fixed. How can you be so delusional?
Wut
this is maybe the biggest factor. but times are changing. look at arslan ash slaying korean gods in tekken, or punk dominating sf5 .
1 character, and nothing related to gameplay (just a few things so irrelevant nobody even knew about them)
So mid attacks and mid projectiles whiffing against all females isn't a bug. I don't care about the Towers of Time. No sane person bothers with such grindy nonsense. They should start fixing the things that matter first, and the things people are asking for. That includes character balance.
It's technically 3 communities in 1.
Im part of the Scorpion community. No regrets.
I think a lot of it comes from many wanting the latest experience for either the "fresher" experience or the experience of playing the newer game as it will be viable economically via tournaments, whereas the former will not. A lot of interest is focused into pro tours and their prize pools, and if people who compete (successfully/unsuccessfully bearing no relevance here) want to keep up with the scene they will tunnel all their attention and lab work into the new game. A lot of people will still be online but exposure wise it will dwindle as an inevitable consequence of releasing a new game. I still love Injustice 2 but I have played it maybe... once in the past 2 months?
Obviously they are going to patch things like ToT and krypt because that's what their publicity and articles are being written on right after the game drops. That's also what the biggest player base (aka the casuals that buy the MK brand in droves unlike other FGs) will latch onto about why the game is worth buying or not in dumbass videos like Angry Joe and whatever else.
Sad, but true.
My chests cost 4 billion rupies, rng, microtransactions, waaaaaah.
I have to actually play the game and earn koins to spend? Well, that's a waste of time! NRS is worse than EA!
I know right? lol
Yeah, as I play I earn koins and whenever I have like 1mil I go spend it. But I guess we were really impatient in the beginning to unlock stuff for our mains too.
Yeah, I don't mind earning koins and unlocking stuff randomly with it. But while you're playing you should unlock skins or gear for whoever you're playing with a la injustice 2. Seems like a step backward.
Yep, I agree. Random drops is a dumb ass system.
Right, but they're developing that worldwide reputation by defeating East Asian players, which is impressing people. Without any East Asian players in the mix, the traditional FGC at large doesn't pay a ton of attention.
I don’t think you understand that ‘fixing’ certain things is not as simple as just clicking a button and releasing a patch the next week. Some things are buried fairly deep in the engine and can’t be directly changed by a designer-level dev without having side effects that then break other things, or have other anomalies due to the way that things are tied together.
