    I'm just curious what everyone thought. The addons to move faster recover faster seem to help a little but the time increase for being undetectable and increase to seal a portal are absolutely worthless. Perhaps the increase to seal a portal would b viable (with a decent increase to time) but the killer undetectable is complete trash. They can hear u coming!!

    The devs clearly planned for Demo's gameplay to center around his Portals while in reality the leap is the most powerful part of the kit and the reason why you choose to play the Killer. Just read the description from the Killer select screen:

    The Demogorgon is an unidentified Killer, able to open multiple Portals and traverse between them to cover large distances. Using its Power, Of the Abyss, it can detect any Survivors within a close proximity to the Portals then unleash a leaping attack to inflict damage from a distance.

    The leap isn't even mention until an afterthought at the end of the last sentence. So it makes sense for the add-ons to be focused around Portals. Unfortunately, the Portals are far too unintuitive to use even with the best addons. Compare it to the other teleporting killers; Freddy and Hag. Demo's portals have a traveling speed, can be comparatively easily destroyed, don't fulfill their full purpose (detection) until they've been traveled through at least once which also happens to place them on cooldown, and can't be used from anywhere on the map (must be at a portal to teleport).

    Sure, Hag is 100% focused around her teleporting; clearly her traps should be stronger than Demo's portals. But I always felt that Freddy's gen warping was just a nice touch they added to the end of his kit compared to Demo who seems like the portals were meant to be the crux of their kit. Yet Freddy's gen warping functions much better than Demo's portals and feel natural to use, at least until endgame when all the gens are done.

    I guess the upside is that Demo isn't an addon dependant killer and performs just fine without them. Hell, Demo does fine without ever use their portals. Now, if Demo's addons were focused around the leap THEN you'd have a truly broken killer in all likely-hood.
