Mortal Kombat 11players are getting a lot of new content to play with, including leaked DLC characters and a new skin pack for female fighters. The most recent patch notes make some character-specific adjustments that players should make a note of if they plan to play as these characters in-game after thisMK11update.
AnyMortal Kombat 11player knows that what seem like minute character adjustments can have a huge impact on how they play the game. Any change could completely break a character or make it way overpowered. Still, mostMortal Kombatcharacter updates are visual, like the newKlassic Femme Fatale Skin Pack, or are just minor move tweaks. Either way, players should know what to expect when they open their updated game files. Here are the changes fans should know about in the 8/25/20 patch notes.

General Gameplay Adjustments
This list was so short that it only had one update: “move list corrections,” with no examples given or elaborations. This could mean the devs fixedawkward in-game typos, reordered the lists, or adjusted button combinations. Whatever it is, it’s likely very minor and minimal since the patch notes didn’t say what exactly the devs changed.
Shang Tsung
Players can hope that theseMK11character changeswon’t shake up the metagame rankings too much, but Jacqui fans should look out when fighting against D’Vorah and Kotal Kahn while Jacqui is airborne, since those two other fighters now have another weapon in their arsenals against her. Cetrion, Shang Tsung, and Sonya players who faced the issues devs just fixed should be excited to see their moves acting like they should. However, opponents who took advantage of these glitches should watch out.
As always, balancing the metagame is a tricky task, and it’ll take a little while for the new changes to play out and forMK11players to see what the true extent of the changes is. Add a recent leak revealing thata ton ofMortal Kombat 11DLC charactersmay be coming to the game, and the balancing act just got a lot more complicated.
Mortal Kombat 11is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, Switch, and Xbox One.
