85% Scorpion players in Kombat League

[Jiraiya]

Hello

as said in the title - Scorpion is R I D I C U L O U S op (forget about my name)

Teleport cancel (he can even hit me when Im straight JF3 in the air) is a bad joke.
It totally restrics the options of the opponent because Scorpion WILL then teleport into your face.

Iis disappointing how one devs favorite can be on "eldergodlevel" in pvp lol we are in Mk11 and not the devs favorite game for this own satisfaction.
When I hear that Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Jade or Scarlet should be nerfed ...
Are you serious??? lol

Example: The second most famous Ninja, whats with Sub-Zero?
Why do I see 1 Sub-Zero player in 25 matches (when Im lucky)? Sub-Zero lacks extremly in neutral situations and he cant react quick enough ->He gets beaten up in the air and is much slower in comparison to Scorpion, Sonya, Geras or other Mk characters.Experienced Mk players can also handle Sub-Zero" - OF COURSE- but they could even do better with Scorpion- he got the options and skillset - everyone from noob to pro picks Scorpion and I see no other character more often than him.
You can take out the most out of him (easy to use nearly all crushing blows in one match, long combostrings where you can just hold "Block" until his chain stops swinging around xD ;one mistake and you get caged.

I think other characters need buffs or Scorpion should be nerfed (rather option 1).

My win rate is at 50% so im not that bad, hes cool but Im tired of the amount of ppl who play him.

Hope some people read it

Getting gud doesn't solve the problem of Scorpion being overused and just frustrating to play against. Since I've started playing KL most of my matches were against Scorpion players and I've only lost one time but it's still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ playing against him.

Just because a guy picks Scorpion that shouldn't mean that his opponent loses the option to control the match but since that piece of ♥♥♥♥, braindead character denies neutral by default that's exactly the case. It has gotten to the point where Scorpion players actively ruin the gameplay experience for literally everyone.

I think Scorpion players are in lower ranked because I'm encountering them less and less. Which is sad because facing Scorpions in Kombat League was the only reason I was playing Sonya because I could not beat them Scorpion cockroaches with anyone else.

Dont worry man...
We have this kind of topic everyday here.

Scorpion is not op. Thank god we have stats for prove that. In competitive scenario scorpion almost never get top 8 in any tournament, even with that many scorpion players and scorpions fans out there. NRS know that for sure.

Learn his mixups , they are tricky to counter , but once you do he is not OP to deal with , the only op character imo is Sonya because of easy really fast mixup that deals a loot of damage, but still not too OP that there is no way to win against a sonya player.

I really don't know what you want with any kind of argument that includes pro players. "Real MK" is not about pros playing against each other but about idiots trying to cheese out other idiots: that's why MK's population takes a very deep dive at the beginning, that's why people who are not used to playing fighting games online jump ship in the first week.

The problem with Scorpion isn't that he's too strong. It's that it's tedious to play against a character that controls the entire screen space and can walk themselves to the corner over and over again with little downside. It feels like you're constantly playing in a phone booth. I don't think he needs a nerf, he needs a redesign tbh.

Overall his teleport should be a bit riskier so that it wouldn't be a "gotcha" mechanic, with that he'd be fine. I think that if he couldn't amplify the teleport if it's blocked that would solve it.

His teleport itself is fine, the bigger problem is that he can choose to cancel it if he realizes he didn't use his tele at a good time. Which means he can punish at will what you do fullscreen, but if he screws up, he can still uncommit at will.

I don't see how scorpion is OP. I see that good players play a certain character more than others. I think a lot of these same players would probably still wipe the floor with most of us regardless of what character they picked.

Lol no, all of them are worthless with any other character.

I don't think any arguments like "Scorpion is boring" "My W/L ratio is fine but please nerf Scorpion" "His teleport is OP, because he's constantly abuse it" should be taken in the account.

Any move could be abused, and cheap players abuse crappy tactics to win, it applies to everyone. Online overall is boring, as you see players care about W/L and leave matches, being a jerks with teabag and so on. I mean it's their call, but have some standards for you and the enemy, if not then don't you complain if I use likewise approach next time. Respect is everything and I rarely see it in MK.

It's his design, MK was never balanced(and I hope MK11 at Ultimate edition will be), and finally after so many MKs Scorpion could be considered a semi-strong character.
Good, they should keep it, the more Scorpions you face, the less problems you will deal with him in future, as you understand his strategy and moves. He's easy to learn, he's easy to counter.

It's not a problem at all, problems are like some characters needs Buffs like really bad. It's always easy to nerf rather than Buff.

[Dood_Sanshiro]

Nah man, Geras is the real problem.

[GuRu Asaki]

hmmmmm...

So we could fix all our Problems in MK11 by simply taking away the ability to
Teleport Cancel with Scorpion? o_@

Thats it?

That is the whole Argument?

I know one thing, though...

As you guys said, above: They need to at least make
his Multi-Teleport Attacks more Risky...

I miss the days when I could block low to a Teleporting Scorpion,
& just Uppercut him without getting my butt wooped...

What happened to that Famous Signature Skill?
They completely ruined it now, ~_~
