I will just post this here:
Says a lot about how much MK11 players actually enjoy playing this mode. I understand why they locked recolored skins behind the KL, let's be real, majority of the players would NEVER touch it and would have probably moved on by now.
Yeah let's hope NRS comes to their senses and gets rid of this shitty ass mode in the future, you want to keep ranked? Ok sure, let those people keep it was it was pre MK 11. But don't hide cool stuff behind this mode, literally the dumbest idea ever in NRS history.
I think that the idea of having an online experience that give you exclusive rewards is amazing on paper but really poor executed in what we have now as the Kombat League.
Basically, Kombat League is a "bad online player" propaganda now and it's all because of the psychological aspect of it and also because human beings are a bitch when encouraged.
Lock content below skill level is wrong from the start because people try to avoid this in every possible way (bad connection, quitting and so on...) just because they REALLY want that skin/gear.
Let's be honest: who can consistently reach Elder God every season? Very few amazing players out there.
Some suggestions that comes to mind that can improve this mode:
1) make a Kombat League shop where you can buy whatever you want from that season with the online points that you gain.
People can buy the skin/gear that they want just by playing.
Maybe top player can have some exclusive badges but skins/gears can be unlocked by everyone that play online and do good without trying to cheese the ranks.
2) make online points a thing even in competitive casual matches, so, people can take a break from ranked and maybe trying something new instead of playing 1 character from all the game life because they are uber strong with him.
With the Kombat League shop that I describe, it will be perfect.
3) deranked because you are not playing for a few days is total bullshit and needs to go away.
We play what we want and when we want.
4) if we can't have wi-fi filter or region filter, then we can't lose point if we forfait the set because the connection is awful.
5) people can't see the opponent's character and we can't change character until the end of the set. In a FT2 ranked as it is now, there's an awful counterpicking meta that promote cheesy way to win a match. Never understand why people like this thing, expecially in tournament.
6) no finish him/her screen in competitive. No teabag allowed, no shame dance, no fatality, no bullshit... we win, we lose, move on to the other set.
Doing these simple things make the toxicity away for a good 70%, IMHO.
As it is now, KL is a bad 3/10.
Yes, exactly my point! Majority even very good players are NOT going to get God and EG consistently, don't care what anyone says. I've seen even tourney and "professional" players stream KL and they only reach Demi God most of the time. This idea is beyond flawed, I really believe NRS smoked some serious shit when they came up with this idea. If people want to do ranked, they do ranked but don't force us to play this garbage against toxic people, cheaters etc which as you said you're probably going to have more cheaters because they want the skins and in a way I don't blame them given the insanely difficult circumstances, not that I'm approving cheating but for this mode I get why people would feel the need. The way the game works now with patches, I believe if someone quits, pulls whatever the other player gets points but the one who leaves just doesn't lose nor gain anything so I've read. I think? Then you have lag switchers who increase their chances of winning, that bothers me more than anything because it's like ohh I get matched up with someone, smooth connection then match starts and WTF is this swimming through mud shit?
I agree, the deranked thing is beyond ret@rded and just stupid. So to add to the already insane amont of bs hill we have to climb there's that, ohh so NRS is like "oh btw you can't have a life if you miss a few days you lose points haha" Yeah fuck that....
I totally agree and felt I was the only one who feels this way, they seriously have to follow SF's method with this. NRS you want to be like other games? ha forget stupid shit like breakaways, how about making it so that in ranked you only see YOUR select screen and not the others, so the whole counterpicking game won't be a game of chicken forcing both to go invisible. I mean I find it hard to believe that we're in MK 11 now and nobody at NRS thinks of this shit.
Wifi yeah that's an issue but hell, give us the option to accept or reject anyone. Example, why I say this is toxic assholes. You can block someone and guess what, still get matched up with them and forced to play them....this happens all the time, so whats the point of blocking someone? lol And this is multiconsole btw, works for other games but apparently not this one rendering block option 100% useless.
Yep, totally agree. The down animation doesn't not have to work during Finish him. And I know they can do this because of the simple fact that they don't allow other moves(for whatever stupid reason) to work on finish him such as ex moves or amped whatever same shit. So they don't allow that, but they allow D, D, D, D, D, D. NRS logic...Yep, I'm cool with no fatals they waste time.
They need to get rid of this exclusive shit behind ranked, if they pull this bs again I will not be playing their next game. Also a real scummy move by them if you ask me was the fact that they WAITED until they got their millions with buyers from this game then were like "ohh btw haha you want more skins players, you have to play this toxic ranked mode called Kombat League where it's ranked but with "goodies" we call it incentives"
Ha, I call it a bs gimmick.
And how is the SP content unlocks any different? I'd rather play online any day to unlock things in that mode instead of wasting time having to deal with armoured/poisoned/buffed bullshit modifiers and trying to figure out which inventory item i need to counter it just to get some skin that frankly i don't give a shit about. The only reason i do occasionally bother is so i can say that i've finished that part of the game.
And half the time it's being done by AI... so yeah...
Dude, it's not even comparable. SP assuming you mean single player tot etc, bro I've done the gauntlet and as hard as it is, it's not NEARLY as bad nor stressful as KL. KL there's so much bs to put up with, single player towers for one it's easy as pie to unlock assists, mods etc to help you out, two umm nobody will be pulling on you, you don't have to deal with wifi, lag etc at least I can actually be able to play the game as it's supposed to be played, your complaints can be helped with using proper buffs, assists etc such as health regen, more damaging moves, assists etc. You don't play naked without any help otherwise you're goign to lose. It's just common sense with certain tot and Gauntlet especially, and some holiday towers. I don't see how that's worse when the amount of stress, grinding and bs you have to put up with every damn month in KL to get 4 skins is not worth it, nevermind the extra gear....they could have easily put this for sale 1 or under single player modes 2. You can't do everything by AI, lol you can't do the Gauntlet rewards by AI or a lot of tower events, character towers.
you're cool though so win or lose, I wouldn't get pissed lol. And that's a great point lol, I've noticed Raiden, Shao Kahn, Skarlet etc have some sweet skins even better question why do they put low tier skins in fucking demi god...lol It's like ok NRS, you already punked my character, now you're just trolling and trying to piss us off even more?
