I seee what you're saying and I do agree, but in my experience with random online matches I typically have to wade through 6-8 worthless fights to find one or two real fights. I don't know if its just bad luck on my part or what, but if I sit down.to play , say, 10 matches I'll get 6-8 that fall between too laggy to do anything at all, lagg tactic abuse (FA Jaqui or spamming in so much lagg its just gibberish) to the teleport/online abuse in general play that's just.. Random. I can't tell you how many Scorpions and Ermacs I've come across that LITERALLY just teleport, over and over and over, with too much delay to punish. I had an Ermac last.night that could teleport, I could block, and try to punish, but he could teleport punish my.punish to.his teleport. Dafuq? Lol. I do fine against most cheese tactics, I'll just cheese.back or turtle up and play patient, etc but I'm not really playing MKX in those situations and its not very fun.
I will have those couple of real matches (i always lose real matches lol) but having to slog through so much BS to find them has made me VASTLY prefer to find training partners and 'real' people to play sets against. Sometimes the connection womt allow.it, but once in a while.it does. Sadly I've lost the handful of folks I used to play against.
Again, II totally.understand what you're saying, I'm just explaining my reasons for looking for specific people and why random fights, I find, are difficult to learn from.
A quick note on my connection: I'm I'm Lexington, ky. 50mbs dwn / 15mbs up. Hardwired. At launch I didn't have much trouble, then it got almost impossible.. After some changes and patches it got a lot better, then it became a total crap shoot. I can't connect to and play a buddy who lives 2 miles a way but I played a guy from Kansas and a guy from NY the other day that were VERY solid. It's just random shrug.
