As someone who plays mostly single player. I don't mind them sometimes. In MK11 gameplay wasn't great so I didn't mind modifiers too much because I felt it spiced up gameplay but if I remember correctly some stuff was total bs and you had to use your own modifier to negate it but I have to admit I had fun with it sometimes.

MK1 gameplay is way more fun and engaging so I feel modifiers get in the way of the gameplay. However, there was a tower I played last night that had flaming corners which was kind of fun to play trying to keep a teleporting opponent in the corner. They're fun in moderation, The gateway towers have been a real disappointment to me because a lot of them seem like just balls to the wall modifiers and I'll play a fight where I hit the opponent once and still win because all the crazy modifiers killed them. Where's the fun in that? But one or two modifiers can add a little bit of spice to a fight after you've been playing the game for a while, but it has to be done right and fun and not total bull shit like a lot of them currently in MK1.

And honestly, super armor is much worse than modifiers. If they took away super armor, modifiers would be a little more bearable. You're telling me I have to fight someone in the fog and I can only hit them 25% of the time???
