so as you may know demogorgons addons are in a weird spot where his commons are so useful that they out class all of his other addons. so i want to suggest some changes that would make the addons feel worth there rarity


commons


rat tail: slightly decreases the time taken to open portals (50% form 2 seconds to 1)

i would first do the same thing that they did to pigs combat straps by change the base portal opening speed to 1.3 seconds down from 2

new effect: slightly decreases the time taken to open portals (around 23% form 1.3 seconds to 1)


rat liver: slightly increases movement speed (9% from 92% ms to 101% ms) while channeling of the abyss

it's so integral to his gameplay that it out classes all his other addons so i would make his base channeling movement speed 100%

new effect : slightly increases movement speed (3% from 100% ms to 103% ms) while channeling of the abyss


Rare


violet wax cap: slightly increases the duration of the undetectable status effect (0.5 seconds from 2 to 2.5 seconds) applied to the demogorgon when emerging from a portal

undetectable is a worthless effect on demogorgon as his footsteps can be heard way before reaching a survivor

new effect: survivors within 24 meters of a active portal cannot hear the teleportation sound effect


very rare


vermillion wax cap: moderately increases the duration of the undetectable status effect (1 seconds from 2 to 3 seconds) applied to the demogorgon when emerging from a portal

as i said with the violet wax cap undetectable is not worth it on demo

new effect: the demogorgon no longer makes a sound when teleporting


lifeguard whistle: survivors under the effect of a portal suffers from the exhausted effect. once out of contact with the portal, this effect persists for 5 seconds

this addon only really effects injured survivors but they tend to avoid portals. you may get a free hit on a healthy survivor but then they will just run to a loop and walk for 5 seconds to get rid of the exhausted effect. which just makes the addon redundant

new effect: survivors that cleanse a portal will remain oblivious for 45 seconds


Ultra rare


red moss: tremendously increases the duration of the undetectable status effect (8 seconds from 2 to 10 seconds) applied to the demogorgon when emerging from the upside down. tremendously decrees the power recovery speed (10 seconds from 14 to 24 seconds) of traversing the upside down

this addon. this f'ing addon. it's probably one of the least useful ultra rare addons in the game

new effect: allows the demogorgon to traverse the up down to a portal from any location, doing this will tremendously increase the power recovery of traversing the upside down (so if you use a portal to teleport it will be the normal recovery speed)


leprose lichen: reveals the aura of all injured survivors while traversing the upside down

this addon is pretty limited as you can not look around when traversing the upside down and it doesn't feel like a ultra rare addon in comparison to all the others

new effect: survivors that cleanse a portal will have there aura revealed for 4 seconds and will suffer from the exposed status effect for 45 seconds


these are just some ideas on some changes i know other killers need changes more but the fact that demos best addons are commons just shows how poorly balanced his addons are

    A few things.

    Leprose Lichen: The exposed effect/anything instadown related is something that shouldn’t be put on every iridescent addon(we already have Slinger’s iridescent Coin, Huntress’s Iridescent Head, and Blight’s Iridescent Blight Tag). The aura reveal for Leprose is decent, but if people now that you’re running the addon then they’ll avoid breaking portals.

    Rat Liver and Rat Tail: Might as well make them basekit

    Red Moss: Not a bad idea, but the tremendously increased power recovery might not be as good in execution as on paper. Maybe using the any-location-teleport ability should break the portal you teleport to as the downside instead

    Life Guard Whistle: Lingering Oblivious after breaking a portal is pretty decent but only after breaking a portal? Well, can’t complain much but maybe it should be applied from coming into contact with the portal instead of only applying after it’s broken(only other downside is that Oblivious makes Object users more powerful).

    Vermillion and Violet Caps: Not bad, kinda like apex muffler but without the TR requirements.


    Overall, some of your ideas are okay. Some are aren’t as good, but that’s why there’s a thing called refining. Overall, 6.5/10
