Mortal Kombat 1 has undergone some construction in recent days as a John Cena’s Peacemaker was introduced along with a surprise balance patch that has shaken up some of the tiers.
True Under Dawg Gaming feels the changes are significant enough to produce a whole new tier list, which we have waiting for you after the jump below.
True kicks things off by addressing the characters who’ve been atop the general tier lists most prominently: Johnny Cage and Kenshi. These two powerhouses have felt like they’ve been a full head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the pack, but is that still the case?
It seems Johnny was hit a little harder than Kenshi, though both received nerfs in the patch. The distinguishing factor, however, is the way Kenshi doesn’t tend to rely on Kameo partners as much as Johnny to do his dirty work.
Johnny, as a result, was hit a little harder because his best Kameo pairings also lost a little juice. The pair still make up the top two, according to TUD, but Kenshi is now a clear first place pick.
True offers all his thoughts on every cast member, including Peacemaker, who is proving to be a formidable force thus far, in the full video below.
