Buff Demogorgon?

While Demogorgon is extremely fun to play, I think he needs at least a small buff. He does not really have anything going for him. His shred breaks pallets at a regular speed, and his recovery speed from missed shreds is extremely damaging. Another thing with his shred attack if he is on a incline and uses his shred and it is literally dead on a survivor, the hit does not connect with the survivor. Yet if he hits another object besides another survivor while on an incline, it seems to connect with that instead. His portals are fine it’s when he just seems to exit them the survivors have more than enough time to hide even though on their screen Demo’s head is already out of the portal. I don’t need to touch on his perks they’re practically useless.

I suggest a small buff to the missed shred recovery and his animation window for exiting his portals. The perks need to be reworked to be of any use, but I’m fine without them.

This is of course is in my own opinion and I still enjoy Demo, but at the higher ranks he easily gets picked on.

What do you guys think?

    I also forgot to mention for the buffs is his shred hit box to be looked into while on an incline.

    Hate to hijack your thread but consider this a small bump.

    Can you control which way your facing when you come out of his portal? I tried using him but I could never seem to come out facing the direction I was hoping for.

    i wish his portals didnt require him to go though one on the floor i wish you could put one down then just hold m2 and mouse over the portal you want to go to

    His add-ons are mostly garbage with the exception of three and his power, while not terrible, isn't impactful enough to allow a quick snowball. Demo is one of those jack of all trades, master of none type killers. Sadly, in a game like this, you need an overwhelming strength to offset the survivors ability to efficiently tackle their only objective. It also doesn't help that everything he does is highly telegraphed or noisy, which gives him away even when "undetectable."

    My only petition with him is to make rat liver base or give it the combat straps treatment and give him a proper add-on rework, because currently they suck ass.

    I agree with you. Also, I think some of his perks could use a rework.

    • Surge is aight... not that good but not completely useless
    • Mindbreaker should last longer, not just 3 seconds at tier 3....
    • Cruel Limits is not that useful, its not like survivors immediately vault a window after doing a gen anyways.....

    I feel like stronger add ons are needed, that alone could probably make demo even stronger, the shred recovery is tough but ultimately understandable.

    Now that Pyramid Head is out, Demogorgon definitely needs a buff or rework. Both killers are similar except Pyramid Head can hit through walls. On a map with many obstacles, e.g. Ormond, or short loops, Demorgon is literally an M1 killer.

    I think Demo is fine where he's at. I get consistent 4ks with him and I don't use any add-ons at all. I do believe his add-ons themselves need to be redefined. But other than that, he's a good boi.

    I’ve been playing him for sometime and I don’t think so. If there is I haven’t found it yet.

    He’s the goodest boi lmao. I do well with him as well, but as I said I just think he needs a small buff with the way things are going.

    Slap on Dark Devotion on him trust me. Even with his sounds you’ll get people. I don’t think any of his sounds need changing. The design team outdid themselves when it comes to Demo. But I get what you are saying and agree.
