Here's the exclusive Faction Kill.
The whole Faction Wars thing is stupid. What's the most popular group in Mortal Kombat? The ninjas, the Lin Kuei. Given the choice, what group are most MKX players going to join? The Lin Kuei. The faction with the most people grinding points, what's going to happen? That group is going to win.
I really don't see how they're going to fix this without randomly assigning people to factions, imposing massive point-cap nerfs on Lin Kuei soldiers, and/or giving cool bonuses to factions nobody cares about, like Special Forces.
I'm not going to lie, when the prompt to pick a faction first popped up, I picked the Brotherhood of Shadows. BoS has always been one of my favorite Mortal Kombat organizations, it (along with the Black Dragon) would be very appropriate for Ryona enthusiasts, and now that Kitana is canonically a BoS sexslave, joining the Brotherhood just made sense. But once I understood what the Faction Wars mechanic was really about, you'd best believe I went Lin Kuei.
