I've always been a rushdown player, never liked zoning, never liked playing against zoners but i accepted the fact that zoning is something that i need to learn to deal with (in moderation) if i want to continue considering myself an above average player, however, here is why you shouldn't even be worried about the alleged zoning meta you think will dominate the game:
We've only seen 5 from 25 characters, from the looks of it, Liu Kang, Kung Lao and friggin KABAL look like they will most likely be playable characters. Do you really think those characters ,who've always excelled at being up in your face 24/7 without giving you a smetheren of a breathing room, will just somehow get kept out and away by whatever means of zoning there is??
Besides this game is completely different, for the 1st time, there is no actual reward for zoning other than safety. no crazy meter builds nor infinite breaker simply because both of those two mechanics are gone, All you gotta do now is work your way in and do what you do best from there.
Also i want to emphasise that NRS listens to the community, The vast majority of players wanted the mk9 experience back and NRS listened and did just that with MK11 but with some added elements from injustice. Therefore i highly doubt that mk11 meta will boil down to fullscreen zoning fest after the huge stink that was made about it in injustice2. Not going to happen.
tl;dr~ zoning is a reality you need to accept, but it wont be a dominating reality. There will be characters who fly over zoning, crawl under it, teleport behind it or flat out walkthrough it Jason Voorhees style. Guaranteed!!
Keep calm and let Mortal Kombat Begin!
