PUT FORCED COMPETITIVE BY DEFAULT NRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, they're killing their own game with this level & gear ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t... Every single newbie jumps into matchmaker and just presses "play"... They don't know about level and gear and how to make matches even...

Who in god's green earth had the insanely STUPID idea of doing this?

You need to make it so that the "forced competitive" is the default option, and fighting with stats needs to be chosen... Otherwise people ragequit and uninstall... u_u

Oh and also, next game don't call it "forced competitive", it sounds bad... use "standard" or whatever... leave the word "competitive" for the ranked matches... jesus it's like monkey's are making these kinds of decisions... ¬¬

Honestly, I only ever play competitive. When people forget to pick competitive versus, it's no biggie and I bring up the screen to change it to competitive. Almost everyone accepts. Once they lose, they go back the the character screen to turn competitive mode off, and end up losing harder to my Legendary gear.

TL;DR don't rely on gear, kids

Yeah, you... but the problem are NEW players... they probably don't even know the difference, or that a "forced competitive" option even exists and what it does...

Whenever I see a new player I pick a character I don't know well, but that doesn't even matter when 1 combo or a couple of strong hits will drain their whole bar... =/

The point being, that is a REALLY bad game design decision... They probably won't change it for this game (since it's basically dead... or dying), but it would be really good if they didn't do it on the next one, wether it's MK11 or IJ3...

you have to manually chose to play with stats on...
