Rain is known as both a fan-favorite and controversial character in the Mortal Kombat series, as despite his impressive weather-based moves and agile gameplay, he continues to underperform in Mortal Kombat 11. The royal purple ninja’s effectiveness could be considered inconsistent across the franchise at best. The recently confirmed and highly anticipated Mortal Kombat 12 has the potential to improve on Rain's appearance by shifting the focus to his new mechanics and shoring up some of his modern and classic weaknesses.
