Will Demogorgon ever be passed over by devs?
While us Demo mains appreciate the Mindbreaker slight buff, will the devs ever consider giving a slight tweak to the Demogorgon's main Kit?
The character is a jack of all trades, master of none. Seem great, until you run into the inevitable purple/red ranks, the core of the DBD community. To live there a Killer needs high mobility, stealth and/or map pressure. All of which Demo falls under the bar. It's undetectable for 2 seconds, but has ridiculously loud footsteps... It has shred, but fails at mindgames as the tallest stature and noise... It has portals, but using them provides visual and audio cues. It has 115 speed but requires a -1 addon with the mandatory Rat Liver.
There are countless "Suggestions" by the community to give some love to the Demo, but has there been an official dev response to them? Will the demo ever get looked at again or is it far on the backburner as a low B/C tier Killer?
Should I just keep using the A team of Killers if I don't want to be bullied in Red ranks? I hate to because since 2018 I've wanted to love and use the Demogorgon. Just not at the level of frustation and lack of balance it faces at high ranks
Any "git gud" troll comments: I've already watched Bronx's, DOWSEY'S and other popular streams to improve my game as Demo. I'm a consistent level 1 Red Rank as Doctor/Spirit/Freddy/Ghostface/Hag. The Demo skill ceiling doesn't cap to stay consistent in red ranks. While your anecdotal comments are appreciated, please post multiple streams as evidence.

They said on the last stream that the next Killer to be looked at after the Clown is the Demogorgon.

Thanks. I missed that.

He had an addon pass coming soon.
I am hoping they just make rat liver base kit in the process.

Yeah it was an add-on pass and number tweak for his kit I believe they said.

Yeah.
If I had to make a prediction it would be making rat liver base kit, replacing it with something new. A lot of his other addons need to be seriously overhauled so they will hopefully do that. I doubt they will be too inventive with creating brand new iri's or anything but will probably change them enough to be decent at least.
Probably do some dumb nerf no one asked for that makes no sense; but still buff him overall a little, and somehow he'll start getting stuck in portals for like the first entire month after whenever they update him.
Suddenly everyone will want to play Demogorgon again of course, so naturally he'll get nerfed like 3 - 6 months after that.
BHVR will just be like "This is the way"

It seems that the final word was a "probable" add-on pass. On paper Demo is a true "balanced" Killer, it just fails at higher ranks, which is unfortunately the bulk of the community, as you will eventually reach and live in purple/red if you play enough. Hopefully it gets a vital add on rework, rat liver added to base kit, and or/lowered footstep audio/reduced audio/visual portal usage.
Hopefully no unnecessary, untested nerfs along with it.
We'll see I guess.

I main demo and a strat that gets the 4k almost every game is to just portal a 3 gen and then keep your portals on the gens and activated. Then you can just hold ur shred to see when they're working on them and then tp. If there's no one working on them then I usually portal an extra gen or look for survivors.

What he needs is changes to his audio, I have no problem with him having audio cues for just about everything, but they need to have an actual range instead of pretty much global.

Can't believe, he is getting changes. I hope they're not gonna turn him into M1 killer like Legion with 4 sec cooldown. He's already a balanced killer.
