Better add-ons and perks for the Demogorgon

I've begun maining Demogorgon and I love it already. The shred ends chases quickly and portals can give you a good map control if you place them in the right spots. There's only one thing that bothers me with it and that is it's very bad add-ons and perks.

====================================

ADD-ONS: The Demogorgon has two powers, the portals and the Shred attack. The Shred is used a lot more frequently than the portals because it's usable in chases and helps with catching up to the survivors, so why do we have only 3 add-ons that affect it?! I and hopefully most of the community want better add-ons for the Demogorgon. Since shred is used so frequently you could make add-ons that affect the movement speed when activating Shred to catch survivors at corners and the penalty could be shorter Shred distance. You seem to love afflictions so why not give a survivor a mangled state when they're hit with Shred and so on. The Demogorgon's iridescent add-ons are probably one of the worst in the game so I propose these new changes.

LEPROSE LICHEN: You can see all injured survivors anywhere on the map and healthy survivors within a 32 meter radius while traversing the upside down and you are also able to look around while traversing the upside down (unique to this add-on.)

RED MOSS: You move at 115% speed while charging up the Shred attack at the cost of having 3 portals less

====================================

PERKS: Perks are a more important topic because it affects all people playing the game since every killer can use them but sadly all Demogorgon's perks are trash so that's also the reason why more people aren't buying the DLC. Here are my propositions for the perk changes.

SURGE: Surge is fine as it is but maybe you could up the numbers from 32 meters to 40 and from 8% regression to 10%.

MINDBREAKER: This is probably the worst perk that the Demogorgon has because the opportunity to use it is so rare.

I think that the perk should activate when the survivor leaves a generator that has more than 25% of progress. The survivor gets afflicted with exauhstion for 20 seconds and has their aura revealed for 8 seconds. This would mean that the perk can be used more frequently and it could give the killer a choice when it sees a survivor leaving a generator to unhook a teammate.

CRUEL LIMITS: This is defenitly the Demogorgon's most interesting perk but also the most useless. Unlike Mindbreaker it can be used 5 times in every match but the effect is so small that it doesn't affect the gameplay at all for survivors or the killer.

When activated, all windows on the map and all pallets within the 30 meter radius of the generator are blocked. Windows are blocked for 30 seconds while pallets are blocked for 15 seconds. Tvat should give the killer enough time to use the perk and the effect can be just powerful enough to maybe change the course of the game.

====================================

Thanks for reading this discussion and I hope that you've accepted it with an open mind. I also want to say that I admire the developers at bH because they created such an amazing game. Sadly with great power comes great responsebility so I hope that the devs once realize how much this game matters to us and that we just want to help them.

Dear devs, I wish you good luck.

    i love Demo but I only use 2 add ons and it's a shame.. mew's guts and black heart.. everything else is a big meh. I also love how Surge is in direct conflict with how you're supposed to use demo.. use shred to down people, but Surge won't proc lol.

    They need to do something about "undetectable" on him though, it's pretty f'ing useless when you can hear his footsteps across the map

    I hope his addons get changed and his perks get buffed, i love demoborgondorgon but he's sucks at red ranks (or maybe i do) i also think that his red moss addon as it is currently should be base kit and that his REEE when he teleports should be removed. I think making him abit more stealthy would be great.

    I HIGHLY agree to this! They should do all this immediately in my opinion! :D

    Btw, Fun little idea for changing the lighter and lifeguard wistle addons:

    Lighter: you charge your Off The Abyss slightly faster

    Lifeguard wistle: you charge your Off The Abyss considerable faster

    Hope ya like it C:

    Of the abyss already needs less than a second to get charged up for the short Shred attack I think.
