The Sad life of Demogorgon

So anyway, I want to talk about the Demogorgon. (No, he's not weak, and not op) the main problem with him, is his own perks and addons. As a PS4 player, my experience says that nobody using him, but why? He is a pretty good killer, balanced in one word. But still, the two main reasons is his own perks, two of them are completely useless, and the last one is very situated. The second problem is addons, which are boring, 80% of them are only buffing portal and the other ones is for shredd. Poor Demo need serious perks changes, addon changes to give him more build's to play.

    I can't remember the last time I saw a Demogorgon

    Demo's perks could have been good had the Devs listened to the community.

    Cruel Confinement was OK at 32m but now it's garbage at 24m. It would have been ''decent'', maybe, if it blocked all vaults with the last Gen.

    Mindbreaker is only good for Sprint Burst, I have never seen any Killer run this perk unless it is a new Demo.

    Surge is OK, it could be better but it is OK.

    Overall Demo's perks are bleh and I would only ever run CC on indoor maps and with high mobility Killers. I've heard if you time it right with Freddy using Tinkerer you can get a good play but I haven't tried it.

    I see him from time to time. I see a good variety of killers but I’m apparently not in the norm because I see Legion quite a bit.

    He’s a fun to killer to play as and fun to play against. He’s not stupidly OP or utterly weak. I don’t think his personal perks have anything to do with him not being used because Huntress has terrible perks and I see her all the time.

    I have actually seen a few ghostfaces run mind braker and as someone that uses sprint brust it caught me off guard but soon learned to play against it but was very interesting to say the least.

    The ghost face player really played with that perk beautifully actually made me consider buying demo so I can get the perk for my piggy but still got far to much to work on.

    I never see any demo it's sad tbh ?

    why buy and play demogorgon when you can play billy, which is free and stronger?

    If I could change his perks id say Surge is just fine.


    Cruel Limits should be like bitter murmur or Dark Sense. the first 4 generators it blocks vault within 24 meter range from the generator. When the last one is completed all vaults are blocked for 30/45/60 seconds.


    Mindbreaker I'd simply make it so it gives 2/4/6 seconds of exhaustion and the exhaustion trails for 3 seconds so regardless of walking or not it doesn't go down for 3 seconds. Also id increase the requirement to under 75% because if it was under 100% that would be ridiculous

    I can relate to this post. Demo turned out to be pretty underwhelming. He's definitely balanced, but I guess that's why he's not really exciting.

    I really enjoy the sound design though, it's very satisfying! (Except those loud, stompy footsteps lol)

    Mind Breaker on Ghost is pretty good. Would recommend.

    I'm on pc and I had at least 2 games with him in it today. I love the demogorgon... not that he's easy, because I died in both matches, but he's fun to go against. I like the music, the stomping around and his roars.

    You're right though... I don't see him a lot. I see a lot more Ghostface, Meyers and Legion in my games.

    Unless they fixed him, his pounce REALLY lags console. That might be why you don't see him.

    I think I'm gonna get him whenever I get my cells back from the rift pass. Hope his perks get buffed a bit.

    As a fellow ps4 player. I wont play Demo anymore since i got him to lv 30 and unlocked surge. Dont have any desire to unlock his other teachables and I dont want to grind BPs to sink into him just to unlock other killers perks on him.

    When i do get an itch to play him (they did do a really good job on the atmosphere he provides I.e. sounds etc) its often short lived. I struggle to hear much of anything with my headsets because his feet stomping around muffle out anything else.

    Could do with much better addons- do wish portals would activate without them actually being seen by survivors- like sneaky cameras 📸

    I agree.

    There's just something about him that makes him less fun to play.

    His leap is cool, but clunky to use since you can't launch until it's fully charged and it's difficult to gauge that in the heat of a chase.

    The sounds and footsteps are wildly annoying as well.

    His portals would be better if you could recycle the oldest one. The placement limitation isn't balanced with the ease at which they can be sealed.

    In the end he really is just a more obnoxious and less effective Hillbilly.
