Dredge vs Demogorgon
Been a while since I did one of these killer vs killer threads. So the usual two questions for you:
Who in your opinion would you class as the better/stronger killer of these two and why?
And which one of them is most fun to play?

Dredge.
If demo had preset portals and could teleport then its be much closer, dredge may still have the advantage but I'd definitely enjoy playing demo more.
I'm sad about the tinkerer nerf, making my hit and run demo weaker so I'll probably play him less

I think Dredge has better map control, but Demo's better in chase. Locking lockers is so fast and its teleport prioritizes locked lockers in the group, so you don't get that much use out of its power in chase, even during Nightfall, unless you've broken all the locks or they didn't lock them. Shred is infinitely more useful in chase and can get you hits M1 killers couldn't get very often. However, Dredge's ability to traverse the map beats Demo's due to no setup involved, so checking far away lockers is much easier for it.
So ultimately I think it comes down to which you value more which is stronger.

I would say Demogorgon is a stronger killer. It has stronger chase potential with its power due to being able to launch itself to lessen the distance quicker and cause survivors to have less reaction time from the attack. Dredge has a little chase potential with its anti-loop power, but it slows it down enough for a survivor to leave the loop. So for the most part, Dredge is an m1 killer and can be looped as such while Demo can easily alternate between m1 and m2 and make looping a bit more difficult. Demo can also place more strategic portals. Sure, Dredge can teleport at will, but maybe not exactly where it wants to go. I will say that survivors can definitely feel the Dredge's presence more though due to Nightfall and being able to quickly come to them with their teleporting.
Despite me thinking Demo is stronger, I like playing Dredge more simply because I like teleporting around a lot and the teleport power being its entire ability means its cooldown is a lot less and can use it at will. The concept of Dredge and the Nightfall mechanic is also very interesting to play as and against as well.
Overall, I believe that Demogorgon is stronger in chase and has decent map mobility, while Dredge is decent in chase but has very quick map mobility.

Demogorgon is the stronger Killer.
Demo having to set up his Portals isn't as big of a deal as most make it out to be, and they grant more information and consistent Map mobility than Lockers, and they also work as passive slowdown.
Demogorgon has Shred, which counters the majority of loops, while Dredge has a situational antiloop that only works if the Survivors are bad.
Demo also has better Add-Ons, and is more fun to play

Demo is stronger. Dredge has, functionally, no anti-loop ability. Demogorgon has one of the stronger anti-loop abilities.
I think they're both about equal on the fun aspect.

I like Demo more.
Yeah, his portals have more counter play, but sometimes his portals act as a discount RBT.

Close really my vote still go to Demo.
Dredge has better map control with v the locker teleports and nightfall makes him sneaky. Chase power is kinda lacking.
Demo requires set up and has slightly longer cool down. Much stronger chase with the shred lunge. Very noisy and stomps loudly compared to Dredge.

I don't know how I'd rate them in terms of power, but Demogorgon is definitely lacking in the QoL category imo. All of Demogorgon's camera swaying from placing portals to missing shreds is way to bouncy and swift for me, and the first person vault animation doesn't even visually represent what the Demogorgon is doing. Dredge meanwhile only has to contend with remembering which direction they'll be facing after returning to a husk - everything about teleporting into and out of lockers is very smooth - along with the vault animation, among others.

Demo is boring. Hands down I'd pick Dredge.

Dredge is better for overall map presence and mobility, but Demo has much more control over where he wants to go, has a bit more slowdown and a better chase power.
