Question Top 10 Zoners

Boneshaper should definitely be up there. He's good at keeping people out, and despite losing a lot of zoning fights, he can always make a good read with EX scoop to sway it in his favor.

Bags of mostly water
1) Quan Chi
2) Shinnok
3) Predator (HQT, I think)
4) Sonya Blade (Demolition)
5) Erron Black (Gunslinger)
6) Alien (Acidic)
7) Raiden (Thunder God and Master of Storms)
8) Mileena
9) Liu Kang
10) Kitana

Depends of the speed and the IAs. I would love to add GM Sub Zero and the others, but they're just the same.
He has this unique bolt stopping in the middle of its way preventing many opponents to get any near.

I would love to add Balanced Kenshi, but he's just broken due of his Astral Projection whiffing around.
Reptile can do the exact same thing, plus he has slow/fast and spit. Imo raiden should be no where on this list

Resolution through knowledge and resolve.
1. Summoner Quan
2. HQT Predator
3. Piercing Mileena
4. Acidic Alien
5. Grandmaster Sub-Zero
6. Sektor
7. Boneshaper Shinnok
8. Mystic Ermac
9. Gunslinger Erron Black
10. Royal Storm Kitana

Some of you may be confused by Sub-Zero and Ermac, but zoning isn't constricted to simply projectiles. Grandmaster and Mystic can control space pretty well.

Edit: forgot Acidic Alien lmfao
Good list, but HQT has to be in there.

The idea that there's no zoning in MKX is irreconcilable with so much of what we've actually seen in tournaments.

Just because your waifu or guyfu (Kenshi players, stahp) can't zone away a stiff breeze doesn't invalidate that there's really strong zoning present in this game.

It's not like there is 0 zoning, but the power of zoning is insignificant compared to rushdown in mkx.

Also many of the characters that are designed for zoning have been given shit tools to defend themselves up close, which is a situation they will have to face frequently specially because run button exists.

You can zone to get a life lead, but ultimately fights in MKX finish where they should - up close and personal.
