Mortal Kombat 11: 10 Worst Fighters You Must AVOID

3. Kotal Kahn

Kotal Kahn is, by far, one of the coolest new characters the series has had in some time. In fact, Mortal Kombat X introduced a few great new characters, and Kotal Kahn was right up there. However his sophomore outing has wound up being entirely forgettable at best.

Kotal Kahn's role in the story has been lessened this time around, seeming to be little more than a way to fill in a few narrative gaps. However, his fighting abilities are largely unchanged, and the things that have changed are for the worse.

The problems here largely centre around the sacrifices he has to make in order to perform some of his cooler moves. For example, to use a totem like the sunlight beam you have to forget about using any offence and open yourself up to attacks. He's slow, bad against teleporters, and offers little in the way of fun, gory attacks. Lots of the lesser characters in MK11 get a pass because their moves are at least disgusting, but Kahn's are just bland. Somehow, he's the lesser of two Kahns.
