Mortal Kombat X: 10 Most Underpowered Characters That Need Upgrading
3. Reptile (Deceptive)
Pointless. That's the only word I would ever use to describe Reptile's Deceptive variation. Yes, being able to turn invisible is a trademark move for the character, but has it ever actually been useful? Both Nimble and Noxious bring with them time slowing and continuous health drain as powerful pressure abilities, making Deceptive look tame in comparison. Not helping matters is the general similarity of Reptile's combos and special attacks across all three variations, making invisibility almost moot due to players familiar with the character being able to generally predict what he'll do despite not being able to see him. Coupled with the fact that a single hit from any source will knock him out of invisibility immediately makes using it a waste of time and especially risky - Reptile's options for escape are few and far between.
