Here are the stats I pulled few minutes ago. Took me about 45 minutes. The ordee in which they give the stats in the online ticker is not random. The go over all character sequentially. Try and find out yourself.
Results are for number of times used. They are given in millions:

Scorpion 85.79
Sub Zero 59.37
Liu Kang 34.11
Cassie Cage 33.33
Takeda 32.35
Johnny Cage 29.62
Raiden 27.73
Kenshi 27.28
Sonya 25.72
Jax 25.65
Erron Black 23.84
Kung Jin 23.63
Jason 23.27
Mileena 23.19
Kung Lao 22.16
Ermac 22.14
D'vorah 20.86
Kotal Khan 20.32
Kitana 18.70
Goro 16.60
Reptile 14.15
Jacqui 13.76
Ferra\Torr 10.46
Quan Chi 9.28
Kano 9.22
Shinnok 9.15

Number of times story mode was completed: 10.88
 
1. Scorpion 85.79
2. Sub Zero 59.37
3. Liu Kang 34.11
This top three is not the least bit surprising. LOL at people on here who thought Liu wouldn't come back for this game. He'll ALWAYS be a part of MK.

4. Cassie Cage 33.33
5. Takeda 32.35
6. Johnny Cage 29.62
7. Raiden 27.73
Wow, wtf? Cassie is a lot higher than I would expect. I guess NRS pushing her as the new hero protagonist is working. Takeda, Johnny and Raiden are not unexpected, although I thought Raiden would be higher.

8. Kenshi 27.28
9. Sonya 25.72
10. Jax 25.65
11. Erron Black 23.84
12. Kung Jin 23.63
Kenshi is the unsung hero of this entire list. I mean, damn, the dude sucks in this game, but I guess his keepaway appeals to spammers. Sonya and Jax aren't surprising; they are hugely popular, contrary to belief of online forums like these. The other two feel about right.

13. Jason 23.27
Well, well. Must be the most successful DLC for NRS, ever. None of the MK9 DLC broke top 20. I wonder if Predator will catch up. He might be more popular, but Jason has two months on him and Jason was released closer to when MKX was released, at its most popular.

14. Mileena 23.19
15. Kung Lao 22.16
16. Ermac 22.14
17. D'vorah 20.86
18. Kotal Khan 20.32
19. Kitana 18.70
20. Goro 16.60
Mileena is ridiculously high considering how bad she is in this game, but she had an awesome presence in the story, which should help. Kung Lao and Ermac doing a lot worse than I expected; I thought they'd be top 10. The rest make sense.

21. Reptile 14.15
22. Jacqui 13.76
23. Ferra\Torr 10.46
24. Quan Chi 9.28
25. Kano 9.22
26. Shinnok 9.15
The unpopular character brigade. Kano and Quan Chi were similarly low in MK9; guess most players just don't like edgy personalities. Kano continues to be in games just because NRS loves him, mostly because of the movie. Also, people are sleeping on how awesome Kano is in this game. None of the others are surprising, except Reptile. Damn, bro, how far ye done fell. Nobody likes you now. I don't blame them. Thanks, NRS, for creating a shitty design for him, making him difficult as hell to use, and keeping him the go-to jobber in the story. Used to be one of my favorites, but I hope this is the last time we see Reptile in a while. He needs a long rest.
 
Can't say I am surprised at Quan Chi being so low. I hate how he feels in MKX; too big, too slow and no super easy spammy combos. I don't like any of his variations. He was one of my 3-4 most played characters in MK9, but I don't touch him now.

Shinnok isn't surprising either, given that you have to unlock him (I guess a lot of tourney players don't even bother with Story mode) and his Necromancer variations seems too slow to be particularly effective against higher level players. Interesting persona, average character, shit boss.
 
Ermac, Kitana and Reptile's numbers make me sad.
Shinnok will surpass Kano by next month, although Kano is great.
Also the fact that everyone is using Scorpion, his usage numbers are beyond bizzare. But no suprise here.
This is what happens when you have 25 great charachters and you only promote one of them.
MK11 will be the same...Trailer after trailer watching Scorpion killing Sub-0. I miss the days when Sub-0 was the most popular charachter.
 
As you can see that the top 10 all good guys and the bottom 10 all bad guys. People for some reason always prefer good guys. While the bad guys always more interesting
 
Very happy seeing Jaqui at the bottom. She needs the Hsu Hao treatment. Kill her off and be done with her forever. She is awful in everyway
 
This is how much they have grown in a month compared to last month's stats. I hae excluded Jin and Raiden due to their numbers being broken and untrue due to bug the first two weeks after launch or something
1- Scorpion +30,017
2- Liu Kang +13,95
3- Sub Zero +12,841
4- Cassie Cage +10,715
5- Kenshi +9,59
6- Mileena +9,234
7- Kotal Kahn +9,241
8- Erron Black +8,25
9- Kung Lao +8,04
10- Ermac +8,01
11- Takeda +7,379
12- Sonya +7,213
13- Jacqui Briggs +6,319
14- Jax +6,064
15- Johnny Cage +5,856
16- Reptile +5,617
17- Shinnok +5,05
18- Goro +4,767
19- Kitana +4,672
20- D`Vorah +4,59
21- Kano +4,573
22- Quan Chi +4,497
23- Ferra/Torr +2,58

LMAO @ Kenshi and Mileena sucking in this game. Best joke I've heard all day.
Well, I they don't suck. Any character is more than capable in the right hands. But there are many characters above them with more reward for less risk.

[MENTION=18253]Lord Greyjoy[/MENTION] Mileena, bad? Nah son, high/Mid at best.
Funny you say that. I always see you downplaying her. Did the patch really improve her or was new tech found? I haven't been playing MKX this week because of The Witcher, but last time I checked, Mileena didn't have much going in her favor.
 
Lolz people downplay characters so much on here. Buff Scorpion. He needs more meterless damage and better options to get people into his vortex. Give Quan Chi more tools. He's bottom tier. Mileena and Kitana are the worst in the game. Thanks Obama.
