No particular order within each tier since fights within the same tier can go either way depending on circumstances

Konqueror Shao Kahn’s passive is that his SP2 one-shots anyone under 40% health. However, any regular SP2 when unblocked is going to kill an opponent under 40% health anyway, unless your character is much weaker than your opponent.
So the only situation where Shao Kahn’s passive is useful is if he’s much weaker than his opponent, and his SP2 wouldn’t normally deal 40% of his opponent’s health worth of damage.
So ironically, his passive called “culling the weak” is actually for challenging stronger opponents instead of bullying weaker ones like what you would expect from the name.
I’m interested in learning Rogue but I’ve heard the cc changes gutted Rogue, is it that bad and is it still worth learning this character or should I just go for someone else
