I agree with the message, if you practiced enough so you can fuzzy and punish everything.
Although in MKX your defense can be best there is but that doesn't mean you'll be able to compete with every single character, there's many characters that benefit off your opponent blocking. Build bar, spend meter on +frames or a mixup, rinse and repeat.
If you can't fuzzy it or don't do it perfectly 100% of the time a character with the best meter synergy (safe mid/mixup pressure into +frames after mixups or armored reversals or creating 50/50's during strings) will make your defense obsolete. From my experience, offense is rewarding and defense (blocking) is not, latest patch made sure of that.
