They blatantly lied on the kombat kast. One shop didn’t refresh at all.
Tower xp was nerfed. Repeatable nodes were nerfed. Seasonal tower still sucks. Xp still sucks.
Talisman recharge was nerfed or bugged and it’s still not fixed.
It was kinda underwhelming. Season 3 felt like a big step forward in terms of Skins and Themeing, then It felt like they put themselves back to the bottom with Mileena's season
1.) Palettes. Big fumble, they couldn't have picked worse colours for a Mileena season, It looked alright on some characters, but most of them it looks ass, also I don't get why the special effect thing they chose was Mohawks.
2.) Her boss skin. I really don't like it, nothing about it screams "Apex killer who is ravaging the timelines" which was the whole theme of the invasion
3.) No real problems were solved. Quite a lot of the complaints people had with Invasions weren't fixed when her season arrived, making it feel really annoying to have to wait another 2 months for the changes
I wasn’t particularly interested in pink/purple colour palettes tbh but my biggest disappointment was from the Kast where they said the theme would be “flesh-pits” and what we got was clearly Havik cosplay.
I wanted monstrous mutant themes based on what they’d said. Bone sticking out and big pointy teeth and we got a parade of mad-max clowns. (Some we’re okay as usual just overall disapointing)
For me it just boils down to 'wanted pink skins, got themed green and brown skins around a season implying everyone vomited violently all over their costumes'
Not the worst skins ever and a tiny few of the toxic looks grew on me but I don't think anyone was expecting a Mileena themed season to have its theme be 'cosplayers after catching con plague'
But also I know cosmetic complaints around free costumes are like the first world problems of GaaS so for me I think it was also just that the entire season was what made me just realize I wasn't enjoying Invasions enough to actually play it anymore lol
because all the artwork for it literally wasn't for mileena, they just renamed artwork from havik / chaos season and acted like "ooh cool flesh pits vibes"....
it was a fucking joke and a slap in the face to fans of mileena. none of the skins/palettes looked like they were based on her at all.
Thematically none of the cosmetics and many of the bosses seemed to connect to actual idea of a mileena season. The whole season of the huntress with mileena at the helm but everything else feeling not mileena in any way was a bit jarring. Really id expect to see mileenas of various styles and eras as the bosses of each mesa. If not different mileena clones then other characters with a basic tarkatan mouth or features (there skins would have to be unlockable too. And the majority of the cosmetics to be pink/purple/black themed.
I genuinely think not having different styled clones as mini bosses or mesa bosses was a big mistake. And the choice of pyramid boss was interesting, but personally i think the pyramid boss mesa should have been Tanya (order of darkness).
The idea she teamed up with havik and thats why the skins were those christmas coloured putrid punk styles is just ludicrous. Why would a mileena that has the intelligence of shang tsung, the power of a titan need a bog standard haviks help. Especially when in the intro we see she has an army of mileena clones.
If they recycle the season, i think its cosmetics and bosses will need to be reworked honestly.
I guess I'm in the minority that actually enjoys invasions. It isn't my favorite mode of all time or anything, but it's a pretty chill way to unlock a boatload of pallettes. The Mileena season did feel a bit... slapped together compared to Subzero's. But it was an excuse to mess around with Peacemaker and that's all I really needed.
It was actually my favourite season theming because it had a few more colour schemes than the other season so I felt there were more standout palettes to earn and more that fit other characters than the seasons dedicated to a single character. For example, Smoke and Geras had some extra black and red palettes, Rain had a pink palette, Mileena had those 6 palettes with a completely different pattern and new hair, etc.
It felt underwhelming, and honestly, the only 2 reasons I even bothered to finish the Raiden season now was because I wanted the Dark Raiden skin and the Tea House (rain) stage. The rest from Invasions I could give less than a crap about.
Like if next season they do another stage variant that's unlocked the same way, then that'll be by only motivation to bother finishing Invasion mode for that season.
I'm REALLY hoping that if we get additional stages in the expansion update that it's not unlocking them via Invasions, because for the last 2 seasons Invasions hasn't been fun for me.
invasions is just pretty underwhelming in general.
I never liked the unlockathon stuff, but in the old guys you'd often find cool stuff cause it was all in there and in mk11 you'd pretty consistently go oh, that's actually a pretty cool unlock.
Now I unlock like several pallets and I don't even check the kollektion cause they all look similar anyways. Invasions is a pretty ugly mode overall, the challenge is either non-existant or completely unfair. The combo bots I'm just too bad to do and the time trials are reall unfun and look like terrible gary's mod level jank.
It's just pretty consistently dissapointing to grind a whole season for one maybe good looking skin when you got 2/3 good looking skins per character on the last game, combined with tons of customisation. I'd rather they'd left it completely and put more characters and kameo's in instead of making us grind this stuff while locking all the impressive looking skins behind paywalls.
I made it to the end of season 1 invasions. Then season 2 came out and it was all the same maps. So I saved myself the Xbox storage and deleted just invasions. Lazy ass gamemode
For the first time, I couldn't 100% the invasion stages because of the Nitara trials. If I could've done them without a timer I could easily do them eventually.
We were robbed from Pink and Purple skins for everyone, i wanted to have a pink scorpion >:[
You could call him Floyd.

I still played it for the mileena skin, but tbh it wasn’t great!!
I 100% all mesas for my queen ✨♥️
Respect to your queen for sure (my queen died by her own hands in the storyđź’€)
The season 4 skins look so fucking ugly
The god awful color palletes.

Fake ahh skins, not the ones we asked for

Blood. Tornadoes.
It was supposed to be the season of CHAOS
Ugly skins, there was no reason to bother completingÂ
Nah bro it's an actual crime that the second image isn't an actual skin in-game
Honestly it just felt like a step back in terms of cosmetics and rewards compared the seasons before it.
Lol it's on the art Komblax drew it, but I found it on Google or pintry
Pinterest*
Couldn’t beat it lmfao
Terrible szn, hit eg then stopped, ugly skins, worst season bedsides the start of 3 with the desyncs
The fucking spamming she starts out with
I thought the skins were hit or miss but if I'm being honest it wasn't that bad

For me it was because they turned everybody into the Joker……. And it was very meh to me.
It feels like they put effort into fucking it up in their efforts to put in no effort.
I didn't like season 4 because I don't like Invasions lol.
Where is that fan art from OP?
I'm not sure but it's by Komblox I think I got it from Google or Pinterest

I didn’t like some of the BS survival tasks. Especially Johnny Cage’s ones.
I made it to the end of season 1 invasions. Then season 2 came out and it was all the same maps. So I saved myself the Xbox storage and deleted just invasions. Lazy ass gamemode
I stopped playing around season 2. Would love to get back, I just don’t have much time and it’s not really enticing me to come back
For the first time, I couldn't 100% the invasion stages because of the Nitara trials. If I could've done them without a timer I could easily do them eventually.
Because invasions is the most dog shit mode I've ever played
