Shred QoL suggestion
Am I the only one who feels very "uncomfortable" that you can't turn the camera after using Shred (his M2 attack)? It feels even worse than nurse fatigue.
My suggestions: let him turn his camera the same like Billy. Billys m2 is more deadly and he is overall the stronger killer. So it doesn't make sense to give demogorgon this restriction.
It wouldn't even make him thaaat much stronger, it's just a QoL change I would appreciate. It's probably the number 1 reason why I don't play him as much as I want to.

No, don't let him turn his camera freely
It's frustrating, but I understand it.
If he could turn the survivor would only gain about 8+ meters of distance which might not be enough to get away from another shred.
The camera limit gives them time to hide their path enough to get another chance to dodge the next shred or make it to a loop.

I understand what you mean, but I think one thing he has nice compared to Billy is that he can cancel his M2 faster and do better fakes, so I feel like he shouldn't be able to turn if he has that for an advantage. Ig either predict at loops better or do more fakes? I'm not sure. Maybe I'm wrong about the M2 ability lol.

A little freedom of movement doesn't really give you an advantage it just makes it more smooth to play in my opinion.

So, then Billy needs to get that restriction aswell? Because not only can he hit, he can instantly down and look for others to slug

Billy can do a lot with his chainsaw aswell to fake survivors. There is a whole video by ohtofu (just a suggestion if you are interested, he covers pretty much everything about Billy)

Yes. Survivors have gotten enough acknowledgement about his shred that know it's just prediction. Moving freely I advocate for.

Thanks for the suggestion, man. And Billy does great mind games, too, but I figured if a Billy 99% commits to a chainsaw compared a Demo who can immediately cancel it's just nicer if that makes sense? Like when I loop a Demo and I'm already injured, I get a little nervous because most of the time they're doing their Shred animation and wait for me to run around like a Huntress would holding a hatchet, so once they see this, they just cancel and M1. Billies I feel can't do this, so they either let go of their chainsaw or commit patiently for you to mess up ig? Some Billy's commit and wait for you to run into them and saw you, but I feel that's harder than what Demo has. To me it's like a trade for not having a turn ability. That's just me. I haven't played the both of them, I just play against them, so I may not know the whole picture.

A pounce doesn't allow you to turn on a dime, that doesn't really make sense to me...
Also, you can actually turn him, but its only around the end of the pounce, that's about it... The difference between Billy being able to turn and Demogorgon being able to turn, is that Demogorgon is pouncing in a straight line and wouldn't be able to even consider turning in mid-air.
Billy is physically running, which does allow him to turn when doing a chainsaw sprint.

Yes, it feels super awkward sitting there not being able to do anything for those few seconds.

It really should have that extra control like Billy's, especially seeing as it's not a 1 shot. It's currently too easy to dodge.

Only if he hits the survivor should his camera turn freely, otherwise no I already use it to get real close to survivors and I think it would be too rewarding.

I don't really care
I abstain.

So, is Billy to rewarding and needs a nerf? Honestly, just think about it. Billy has this aswell and he is much much more powerful and at the same time everyone who plays this game enough has the opinion that Billy is the most balanced killer in the game

I see where you're coming from, but killers can have separate weaknesses, Billy chainsaw has a long charge up, demogorgon has a short one.
Demogorgon's lunge goes double the speed for less possible distance.
Billy can one shot, demogorgon can't.
Billy's chainsaw is much more reactable for the survivor than demogorgon's lunge is (Unless billy's going for the snipe of a lifetime, than maybe not)
Demogorgon's ability is a quick dash, Billy's is the killer version of sprint burst.
Billy's is more punishable while charging it (Time to react to it), demogorgon's is more punishable after using it (Slower turning).

If you let his camera move freely he would be even better than the pig's ambush

Yes, let him turn his camera freely
But billys long charge up gets compensated by 1 shoot and curving ability which us stronger imo

I just want them to lower the recover. Good Lord is it punishing when you miss. Too risk for such low reward as well.
