Very controversial thread but in my opinion MK 11 is game for total idiots. I remember MK 9. That game needs a little skill. Combos wasn't so easy, matchups need some serious knowledge.
NRS made mistake and MKX was much easier game to learn. All you must to learn is be like a tank and attack all time and.....guess
Also some characters like Liu Kang were totally braindead (nobody plays that orb variation which needs some skill).
I remember when I try to learn character in MK 9. That cost me a little time and hard work in practice.
And what we have in MK 11 ?

- combos are totally easy. You don't care about timing or space. I have feeling that normals "suck" opponent character and don't let you drop. Do you remember Sonya combos in MK9 with instant dive kick ?
- bar managment doesn't exist,
- you don't need to choose wake up attack (all characters have two simple options)
- in MK 9 I could use maybe 3-4 characters. In MK 11 I can play whole roster coz every character is MEGA EASY TO LEARN
- some characters needs.....just two moves for win,
- FB doesn't need any skill. Some of FB are so hard to react. Remember MK9 ? You coulnd't just press button coz X ray before activated had little glow animation. Opponent had little chance to react and block.
- some mechanics are easier for low skill players - late time jk is + on block so everybody is jumping. Its very hard to AA. Remember MK9 ? Have you tried jump on Jax, Sonya, Kabal, Scorpion or Kenshi ? It was automatic punishment
- MK 9 was perfect but it needs support and balanc patches
- MKX was easier, faster, based on offence. Some matchups were totally unfair. 50/50 made that game much more easy
- MK 11 is a game for total idiots. That game doesn't need any skill, mechanics are poor and even without MU knowledge you can win.
