Guys, lets look at the facts:
Its an unblockable move with a 33%/33%/33% option, that deals 15% ( I don't even know), with a KB addition, that has a requirement of 3 successful hits that deals what? 25-30%.
Now since the community has a mixture of players, with a heavier lean on new/casual players the "butt-hurt" factor is unavoidable. This sort of behavior is whenever someone, somewhere starts to abuse a move/character and a large number of players are unsuccessful at defending against it (we've already seen it). However, to the Sheeva madness, there is another factor.
Fun fact: during tournament play (which, lets face it: people grind the game to the point of losing connection with the real world for some time) were hopeless.
We've seen that from none other than the Vilan Foxy, exploiting (I love the way he exploits nrs failures) Sheeeva - reminds me of the Millennas b12 change during MKX days lol. Next thing you know, we have others, and the cherry on top was TitaniumTigerz making a mockery of the producer.
If not for the fact, that X numbers of people were looking at Shrek-like character with a nice juicy title "why you do this nrs" jumping carelessly, and another player had to desperately run for his life bar, NRS wouldn't be bothered taking a break from the massive project that they have been working on so hard, and change anything.
What do I think about it? - All MK games had something busted, but I have not seen anything so absurd like this. I won't be going with examples because its pointless.
I love the franchise. Been playing the series almost none stop for 10 years till MK11 came out. Prior to this game, I use to pay to play - we use to travel from country to country to tournaments, during MK9, MKX, and man we grind the shit out of it. We did it to participate, but also because we loved these games, playing was entertaining. Plus seeing the same people from different countries in other countries was a blast. Those were the prime days of Mortal Kombat, even Cyrax, Sonya, Kabal, Alien, Tremor, Smoke was not able to take that away.
Mortal Kombat 11, even before the Corona madness, was an online game, and as that it shall remain. There is a handful of things, that take away pleasure from playing - Shieeeeevea, is just one ugly part of those things. One last thought - I remember, when Boon was advertising the game as "neutral heavy style" kind of a game, and when I see the picture of that Shrek-like Monster jumping all over the stage I laugh, we all laugh. Like we lough on the breaker mechanics, Wi-fi connection competitive option, or lack of disabling it. The list goes and on.
I found a way to deal with this: I play occasionally, and focus on other game, waiting, hoping that perhaps the next game will ignite the passion again. I advise doing the same.
