The latest update to Mortal Kombat 11 has tweaked several key characters - but Scorpion's nerf has become the richest meme fodder.

Players have long considered Scorpion's Hell Port and its air variation to be one of the game's most frustratingly cheap moves. Scorpion teleports behind his enemy in a near-unblockable strike that is easily chained into a high damage combo, with players at all levels spamming the attack and sending their opponent's cortisol levels cartwheeling.But, as Eurogamer points out, the teleport has been turned into a high attack after the update, meaning players can duck Hell Port for the first time. This also means it's easily countered with a swift uppercut - and fans are delighted.So "YOLO teleporting" will now earn a swift strike to the jugular, and Scorpion mains will have to adapt their tactics. For now though, the message hasn't quite sunk in for everyone. Redditor Yoss4ri4n noted , "I was having a great time yesterday destroying Scorpions who don’t read patch notes."Another user, tomucci, seemed fairly nonplussed. "I don't feel like its that much of a nerf really," they wrote. "Its amplification is still a mid, and it's still so fast it can be used to counter heaps of stuff on reaction, or just hit you out of the blue which still forces you to constantly block, or i guess neutral duck."Still, the reaction for most players who'd made the most of the move is best summed up by TheDominantOne_ who wrote, "As a Scorpion main, this hurts," to which Gothichand replied "I didn't know Scorpion mains knew feelings."This week Mortal Kombat 11's development team addressed DDOS attacks that have been messing up the competitive leaderboards , and we also got our first look at Nightwolf gameplay.
