It certainly doesn't make them objectively good or even competent (The Last Jedi, or MK2011's story comes to mind). People hate D'Vorah not only for killing two MK veterans in her first appearance but because even when she loses a fight she is able to scamper her way out of the situation like the grotesque bug she is. And then not only does she best and nearly kill Kotal, but she does successfully kill the face of the series himself. Again, all without facing any real consequences aside from young Scorpion slicing off her Ovipositors which can probably grow back. She's one of the worst characters introduced in MKX if only because she seems to be favored by the writers.
