A small but meaningful change to Demogorgon, let him teleport without a portal.
I've been having a ton of fun recently playing the Demogorgon, but I feel he just doesn't have enough snowball potential to keep up with a decent group of survivors. Where I think the issue is lies with his map pressure, I find it very cumbersome and time-consuming to get set up, leaving me a 115% killer with a nice lunge for a good portion of the match.
What I suggest we test out in an upcoming PTB is allowing demo to teleport to portals without having to be above a portal. Perhaps increasing the teleport cooldown to 20-25 seconds (correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it 15~ seconds now?).
As it is now, his setup to use his portals are fairly lackluster due to this reason. They make him go out of his way to try to teleport, which any time wasted as killer is money thrown in the trash.
I don't think that this particular change would be too overpowered with a larger cooldown, but I do think that this would make him a more aggressive killer that can go against a good team without having to spend so much downtime walking to a portal then teleporting.
Thanks for your time.

I could see it being a rare/ultra-rare addon that increases the cooldown by ~20 seconds. I think that would be a fair middle ground as having it be in his basekit makes him a much better Hag.

So a 115% movement speed Mint Rag Hag but instead of setting off traps he can sense people next to them. Insidious Bubba has some competition on the Basement game.

I think the cooldown time can be reasonably increased, I'd honestly be fine seeing it at 40~ seconds if it can make it to basekit.

Given we can negotiate the cooldown of the teleport to say 40~ seconds, I don't think it would be better than hag with mint rag, considering he still burrows into his tunnel and travels. In that frame, I don't think it'd be as good as mint rag.

Ah making the teleportation cooldown longer, I missed that in the post, my bad. Yeah that would be ok because it would be just like Freddy can also manually teleport to a fixed location; I like this idea a lot :)
