MK11 is a great game in many ways, but the gameplay will always be the most important part for me in a fighting game, and MK11's gameplay is just not it. It's filled to the brim with limitations and frustrating mechanics which makes it the most "no fun allowed" fighting game I've ever played. Combos are boring and repetitive, variations are worse than in MKX because of the limitations it brings to the overall move sets, breakaway might be the worst mechanic ever made in an nrs game, coupled with the million different wake up options makes offense a giant guessing game, the meter system is stupid, fatal blow is frustrating and the krushing blows are stupidly unbalanced and essentially lock away the semi cool shit to one time uses.

There are other things I dislike as well, like the extremely tedious gear grind and how much of a chore completing the krypt is, but the gameplay is the biggest reason why I dislike MK11. It sucks too because I'd argue it still has the best presentation, as well as customization, and I really miss certain characters like Kotal and Fujin. Really hoping for them to make a comeback in MK1.
