That is a very convenient and slanted view of how the Kitana community has been conducting themselves.I'mma add to this salt report, my own salt(this was recent too)
Kenshi players
Nrs Community
- Lol my character is bad
Kitana players
- Yeah we know, sucks bruh hope u get buffs
Nrs Community
- Lol my character is bad
Kitana players
- OMG U GUIZE WHINE SO MUCH, SHE'S NOT THAT BAD GET GUD I MEAN REO SAID SHE HAS A SHENANIGAN THAT FUCKING WORKED SO SHE'S CLEARLY GOOD AND YOU ALL DOWNPLAY HER SO MUCH. GOD SHUT UP.
- :\
A more accurate picture is that you have a clique within the Kitana community that pulls Mean Girls and outright attacks players who dare try and say anything remotely positive about the character.
Never, since the release of MK9, have i seen a community as toxic as The Kitana Community for MK X. It's as if they all felt entitled to have a high mid or lower high tier character and can't even begin to fathom the idea that their character could ever be bad in any game, ever.
The Nightwolf Community and Stryker players of days yore were never this aggressive and poisonous as Kitana players are now.
It's so bad that whenever a top Kitana player does well, while they get props, it's always with the added caveat of, "The opponent obviously didn't know the match up. Kitana should never win."
I remember, as a Quan main in MK9, we would be thrilled when Insuperable, Shujinkydink, or Hidan did well. We never backhandedly suggested that our top representatives won only due to match up ignorance.
To go back to an earlier point, to highlight any positives about Kitana is basically a death sentence to these people. Even if you acknowledge that she has problems but highlight something good about her, they go on the attack.
Comparatively, Shinnok players had a bad character before the patch and weren't nearly as aggressive and destructive. The same could be said of Shazam players in Injustice or Baraka mains in MK9.
Now this isn't to say everyone who posts there is bad. There are a few who conduct themselves as sane, not spiteful children, who are genuinely friendly and easy to talk to. This is the exception, not the rule.
If, as a Kitana player, you perceive yourself in a position of persecution, you might want to take a look at the conduct of your fellow community members. If Kitana players hadn't created the, "Live and die by The Princess" narrative pre-release and then all but jump ship after with the occasional return to complain about how badly NRS must design characters because Kitana doesn't have d1 xx Cutter, then perhaps the blow ups wouldn't be as severe.
Again, there are exceptions. Those players should know if the above applies to them or not, but it's one of the most unbearable things about MKX TYM right now.
