Reptile: Fixing Mistakes
Reptile’s recent unintentional nerf has been addressed with a fix to his Force Ball’s damage scaling. This means his combo damage is back to normal, making him a more viable option again.
Peacemaker: Balancing the Powerhouse
Peacemaker received nerfs to his Human Torpedo, making it possible to duck under the move. Additionally, his health has been reduced, making him easier to defeat. However, concerns remain about his teleport’s power and chip damage.
Homelander: Combo Potential and Mixups
Homelander’s flight cancel glitch has been patched, impacting his combo potential. However, he still maintains solid damage output. His mixups have also been nerfed, as flight cancel is now only possible on hit, preventing it from being used after a blocked jump-in attack.
Chameleon: Punishable Moves and Health Nerf
Chameleon’s Ball Roll has seen reduced pushback, making it more punishable on block. However, a glitch allowing her to start combos even after armoring through an attack remains. While she received a slight health nerf, some players believe further adjustments are needed.
Johnny Cage: Combo Damage Reduction
Johnny Cage’s combo damage has been reduced when using the Hop Punch or Hop Skip Punch. This change aims to balance out the character’s reliance on these moves for extended combos.
Final Thoughts
While the recent balance patch for Mortal Kombat 1 addressed some issues, many players feel that further adjustments are necessary. As we await future updates, it’s important to voice your opinions on the changes and contribute to the ongoing discussion.
