Demogorgon Thoughts and Tips
So, with the release of the Demogorgon I'll give my first day impressions.
Note: TL;DR's are highlighted in bold
Overall, Amazing! Really fun to play, for sure requires knowledge and skill but is mega rewarding. I also enjoyed playing against him as he was very imposing and the new music makes him ever more present.
In terms of abilitys and playstyle, he's not high tier, he's not low tier but a nice middle area that is highly dependent on the user. He has in my opinion the strongest endgame of any killer along with contesting Bubba for basement pressure, all in all he is a passive through to agrresive hybrid of Hag and Trapper.
Now, some little features/tips that I discovered in KYF and my thoughts on them:
The portals only become visable when they are activated: until then they remain invisible to survivors, meaning at the cost of speed and pressure you can choose to set up the board first without survivors knowing.
Enduring and Unrelenting dont affect his lunge ability: however Enduing foes work when stunned out of lunge, I am yet to test Fire-Up and PWYF; I wouldnt mind if Unrelenting sped up the miss lunge animation, but I get why it doesnt.
You get insane range when you Lunge of a height: If a survivor has BL or they have a head start over a hill or any sort of drop, Lunging off that height will net you way more range in much shorter timeframe; honestly I love this and is one of the nicer little things about him.
Lunging into walls from a height will bounce you off them: If you lunge from a height and hit a wall the Demogorgon will either slide along or bounce off the wall and you'll only be given the missed attack cooldown.
Surge and Huntress Lullaby stack for 19% regression: if you run both Surge and Huntress Lullaby when Surge procks you will get the 5% standard regression, the additional 8% from Surge and the extra 6% from Lullaby for a grand total of 19% for all afflicted generators. Honestly, I love this perk combo, any reason to run Lullaby is a good reason.
You can grab survivors off portals: If you sneak up on a survivor cleansing a portal you can grab them straight off it like a generator or vault, it's a niche little addition that may make the differance.
Finally, thanks for reading and to reiterate I think the Demogorgon is fantastic! Good job BHVR, you hit the nail on the head with this one!

He seems reasonably strong from the handful of matches I played against him, but since almost no one is playing him it's hard to judge or get used to him.
