online is awful

[Mundi]

online is bad in mortal kombat yet again, I cant decline an opponent from bangladesh for all I know and I have to deal with a smoke whos already glitching around the screen and im unable to predict or read anything because hes glitching all over the place. they even told me before the match he had 250 ping.

Im not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on this game the gameplay is good and the game itself is good but the online is completely unfun to play

So, the online really is balls? What percentage of the online matches you've experience, have been playable enough to be fun; versus those which you've just endured because you (apparently) didn't want to D/C (Bangladeshis using a steel bowl for a satellite dish, aside)?

Also, how long does match-making take?... You're on PC, right? Is every second player Scorpion and/or Sub-Zero, like the Kens and Ryus in SF6? How much do people mash low jab in the game? How broken are teleporter characters online -- can their spaz attacks be countered if the connection 50~100ms?

50% are actually playable, they dont even match you with people from your region by default

Haven't had an issue with it yet in KL. Outside of KL...woof I've gotten some stinker match ups.

I've had maybe four matches that timed out after one or two minutes when there was just a black screen when the match should have been loading. Other than that it's been good. For some reason going online initially will reconfigure your graphics settings, and it has shut my vsync off several times. I end up having to go back out and turn it back on in settings. But it's pretty annoying.

90% of matches are fine, 10% laggy and sometimes unplayable. It reminds me of tekken7
