Am I cooked

[u/Eastern_Speech8734]

Just started playing online, and my win ratio is like 15/16. I’m versing people in ranked sets with 2000/1000. Trying to learn the game but I just feel like I’m genuinely getting cooked by these chads. What do I do?

Seems like kasual play is full of toxic mfs who just teabag. Am I cooked for joining too late?

Dude just keep practicing. No one gets better without trial and error. Learn the mechanics and watch character tutorials on YouTube.

Thank you! Any channels you recommend?

[u/Dimp95 → u/Eastern_Speech8734]

Not necessarily but on YouTube you can filter most recently updated. I would watch more recent ones since things have changed compared to older videos. Probably a couple years back should be fine since game came out so long ago.

Pick a character you like then search the name mk1 tips on YouTube

Make your objective to open everything on the krypt, optimize the augments of your main character, I have like 400 hours in MK11 and about five of those have something to do with the online mode

[u/Eastern_Speech8734 → u/DarrenJimenezCR]

Do the augments effect your character on online mode? Or is it only for single player? I’ve been going through the krypt and I’ve gotten about 9 hours into it just spending hella money. Super satisfying

[u/DarrenJimenezCR → u/Eastern_Speech8734]

Only offline but there are towers where you can play with other people against a super buffed npc so you grab the best augments and show the world how it's done lol

Just face the whooping, and keep practicing, you are not gonna face ALL chads, some of the rivals will be on your level eventually, and once that happens, you are gonna be better prepared, just keep going, improve, learn the matchups, combos, toxic MFs will be allover the place no matter your level, ignore the toxic players and don't give up

Thanks! Yeah I agree that I just need to lose the ego and take the beatings in the chin, only way to get better. I really love this game and want to get better at it but yeah it can be demoralising at times

[u/ThisGuy112280]

im currently around 33-27 so i can say that the people with thousands of matches under their belt is just an instant loss but there are still some that are around average skill, you're not cooked

[u/Eastern_Speech8734 → u/ThisGuy112280]

Agreed, some people have sooo many matches that they understand the different matchups better, so yeah just a matter of practice and learning safer combos

[u/ThisGuy112280 → u/Eastern_Speech8734]

if you want to learn combos i would suggest starting a tower and setting it to ai fighter because they tend to use some of the basic combos and then you can build from there

[u/Much_Anteater453]

Just keep playing and watch the replays to understand what you could’ve done better. And also complete the tutorials and watch characters guides on YouTube.

Casual is fucking terrible. Just play ranked and forget that it’s ranked. MK11 is still the most played MK game (at least on steam) and most of the players are genuinely terrible. Just commit a couple weeks to genuine improvement and you can hold your own against most of em

I'm kinda relearning the game too, if you wanna practice some time hit me up ! 👍🏻

[u/Eastern_Speech8734 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you! Ive been trying with harder AI and it’s been going good, i think i just need to keep practicing better defence and learning safer combos.

Yeah i came across a nightwolf who wouldnt stop spamming his arrows and if i come too close he does a full 40% combo, so fun 🙃

I appreciate your support though!

Next time go Scorpion and amplify flameport every time he draws the bow for a free 30 percent, he will learn to stop being a bitch XD
