Does The Demogorgon need a buff?
Honestly I love playing The Demogorgon I enjoy maining him but he could definitely have some buffs to his kit. (Please don't unleash the wrath of the internet on me for having my own opinion)
- Undetectable. The detectable status from his portals is very short and experienced survivors will just hear his super loud footsteps. I think that your detectable status lasts for 4-5 seconds instead of 2 on default, and while you're undetectable footsteps should be silenced.
- Shred. His Shred attack in my opinion is pretty balanced it's able be used to end chases faster and can be dodged by survivors.
- His addons. His addons aren't horrible in my opinion but I do think that there is quite a bit of improvement to be made in the uniqueness category and some of them are weak.
Tldr: To balance The Demogorgon I think that his footsteps should be made quieter or silenced while he is undetectable, and Shred is OK as it is, and his addons are subpar in the uniqueness category and some are under powered. (Keep in mind this is all my opinion.)

I agree undetectable should last much longer than it currently does, however he should still have footsteps. With how loud gens and other sounds are now, it should be fine just with the extended undetectable time.

I agree, and I'm not coming at you or anything, I main Demo boy as well :3 but I think the undetectable status is ok for maybe 3 seconds. I personally believe 4-5 is too long. And footstep wise, they should be able to hear it because they can't hear the terror radius. They usually don't hear me coming at them but everything depends on what map it is and how you place portals. I place mine 6-9 feet away from a gen and usually I get survivors

I agree with you agreeing with me. I just feel like undetectable should make footsteps quieter in general like for ghost face.

other than increasing the undetectable time, just make it to where you can't constantly hear him map wide for the entire match.

Yes.
- Silent exit through portals.
- Longer undetectable.

The only buffs I would give him is add on changes/buffs and make rat liver base kit

I have all killers and only demigorgon is at level 1...
He is just so bad and could use a buff. Main issue is that you can always hear him and tell exactly where he is. This makes him basically useless in looping. I don't even need to look behind me to dodge his attacks. Most demis i have seen so far where frustrated tryhards in their mission to get at least one kill. It's sad realy, but i think he is the worst killer so far. I have zero respect from him.
The only exception to this is his vaulting. This animation just looks creepy AF and always makes me nervous ^^

That's weird I've been getting almost nonstop 4ks with demo... But I do agree he needs a buff and he is garbage in some loops.

yes:
he needs to be quieter. whats the point of all the undetectable addons and stuff in his basekit when he sounds like a train is coming at you?
put rat liver aside and redo all of his other addons his addons are all trash except that one

Demo Add Ons suffers from the same issue Piggys do; the add ons focus way too much on the part of their kit that is supplementary, not the main part. Demo/Piggy need more add ons for their special lunges.
