The Mortal Kombat 11 update patch notes aren’t the typical patch notes since they don’t come alongside a downloadable update. The game just needs to be connected online and it will pull the changes. But they are somewhat significant enough to cover, especially since the game hasn’t seen many balance changes since Ultimate’s release in November 2020. Here’s what the MK11 update patch notes are for May 13, 2021. These changes are only on PS4, PS5, and Xbox for the time being.
Mortal Kombat 11 Update Patch Notes: Sheeva nerfs abound
NetherRealm has nerfed Sheeva pretty hard, which was easy to see as players disliked her quite a bit. Her infamous Dragon Drop now has a set delay and has 30 more recovery frame on whiff or when it hits armor. She, along with Joker and Cetrion, also now have 950 health like Jacqui, Cassie, and Sonya. RoboCop, on the other hand, now has 1100 health like Shao Kahn.
Cetrion’s Deadly Winds also does less damage on block. Shao Kahn got the most changes as his You Will Never Win has fewer recovery frames and can still be special canceled on Flawless Block. His Hammer Lunge and Ground Shatter have also had a few changes to be overall better moves. Two of Rambo’s strings are also a bit better and one of RoboCop’s also got slightly changed.
