Why are Demogorgon players so damn admirable?

I've come across some sweaty demos. And have def. smashed more than been smashed by them. But I never really had any toxic ones. And by toxic, I mean actually saying offensive stuff. Tunneling and camping isn't exactly toxic to me.

Demo is such an underrated killer (but some buffs are still needed) and people should learn to use his powers better that's all.

Mastering Demo is easy you can have fun without sweating.

I can confirm, Demodoggies always provide fun matches. I have only seen them tunnel toxic survivors. Otherwise, they play very well.

Not really. There's a difference between trying to win and being sweaty. Most try to win. Sweaty killers are like not as common.

This is so true. The demogorgons are always really polite Chad killers just doing their best, in a good mood. They're the backbone of our society.

Demo is such a meh Killer that he inspires people to be nice :)

I think Demo is balanced to the point that you can do really well with him, but you have to be a good killer to do so. That coupled with the high fun factor means you're probably running into a confident player who is just vibing on Demo. Someone with a chip on their shoulder or something to prove isn't picking Demo.

My group of friends played against a ranked one demogorgon last night, and he proceeded to camp the first hook he got, and slug all of us that tried to come for the rescue. To make matters worse he brought in party streamers, and because he played the way he did the match didn't last any longer than 5 minutes, and every survivor walked away with less than 10,000 blood points (not including what the party streamers added). Even the killer barely walked away with 20,000 blood points.

It was rare to come across a camping demogorgon, but to see that playstyle from a supposedly "rank 1" player was really upsetting.

There are definitely some mean demo players out there, as there are with every killer or survivor. As to why your seeing a majority of demo players play nice I don't know. I play nice just because I have no reason not to, I stopped getting mad at this game years ago and demo became my favorite killer overnight when he came out, I sucked initially and would sometimes have to resort to some scummy plays to try and get more kills, but I got a lot better with him and I haven't had a reason to play "toxic" for a while. I think the main reason people do it is because they want to win, and they aren't at the level of experience to do that consistently yet, so they resort to other strategies to get more kills and make themselves feel better. In reality people can play the game however they want, if a bubba decides to facecamp and lose the game just to kill me, then so be it.

I just think most experienced demo players and experienced "low" tier killers in general have more tolerance for difficult games because of how used to it they are. Playing a "stronger" killer slows the learning experience because you will run into less tough situations, and therefore learn how to play around them slower. I just think lower tier killers tend to be nicer in higher ranks because if they've gotten to the point where they can comfortably play a weaker killer in red ranks they are usually much more experienced at the game then someone who is playing spirit in red ranks. Of course this has some exceptions and no one should be exempt from playing stronger killers, I love Blight, Oni, and Huntress, but I can't help but think most of my experience in the game has come from playing weaker killers like Demo, Myers, or Wraith.

Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant.

Its the risk of failure from those other killers that makes them play that way. If you say....miss a nurse grab, or miss a nurse hit in general you're punished for it severely. Now its not that many seconds, but it adds up and it adds up fast. Spirit, if you miss your guess where the survivor is headed or are thrown off in any way, you're punished hard hard. Hag practically lives in the punishment zone and her FOV doesn't make it any better. If she doesn't get a trap off, you will be hard tilted, especially if you really...really, REALLY needed that last trap. Deathslingers punishment is obvious, you miss your shot, doesn't matter if you thought you hit it or not, if it doesn't hit, you're boned, and your recovery time from throwing your shot just compounds things over time. PH? I have no idea why Pyramid head would get salty, his kit is completely binary and suffers no real punishments.

But for those other killers I just mentioned....of course they're gonna play as if they wont get another meal if they don't play well....because its TRUE LOL! If you start throwing bricks as spirit, nurse, hag, or the cowboy, its a wrap. For all of those killers their power is NOT a bonus, it is A REQUIREMENT! They're all sub 115% killers so out of the gate if they miss anything thats time on the clock. Using their powers the wrong way punishes you, again, their powers are not bonuses so it leaves plenty of room for the player to get extremely tilted if they don't focus.

Demogorgon on the other hand is built in a way that if you play him even slightly effective, you have room to fail. Even without add ons. Everything about demogorgons kit provides a BONUS to the already effective existing base killers set of skills. He's 115% out the gate, he has a decent FOV he has the bonus of map travel, he has the bonus of detection. Everything about his kit is optional to use, it is not REQUIRED which means if you mess up your punishment is basic and doesn't compound itself into your skills as "He doesn't need his power to be effective"

Need vs Greed, Hag, Nurse, Spirit, Cowboy<---NEED

Demogorgon, Hillbilly, Oni, Doc, Pig, Wraith, Trapper, Ghostface etc etc etc <----Greed, all of their power sets are bonuses, not requirements to function so you don't have any reason to sweat while playing them.

They are voluntarily picking one of the least viable killers against strong survivors, so they clearly don't give a ######### and just wanna play their own style. Against well equipped groups on voicecomms this game has two playable killers, Nurse and Spirit (specifically because non-interaction through their powers is the only thing in the game that beats an optimized squad)

So if you ######### yourself to the point where even a rank 5 squad shouldn't have a single death against you by picking Demogorgon, clearly you're not playing to win, you're playing to have a good time and let others have a good time. That's the only take i can offer on it.

^us

I don't know what anyone here is talking about, playing against Demo for the most part is boring, and I don't mean in the sense they're "unfair" to play against.

He's just to predictable of a killer. His lunge is worse than pigs because it's actually way more predictable and can't be hidden, he has to slightly commit to it, and it's a heavy punish for him everytime whether it hits or not, so you're mostly better off not using it for anything but to down.

His portals are wack, you have to hold down a button to use them to detect when that should just be inherent to them like Victor, imo (after all, they basically only notify you when someone is actually on one, and it only benefits SWF over him because it's super easy to say "hey he's chasing me", so someone could break his tunnels without fear

He has no ability to truly bait, his slug game is mediocre, his tunnels are super obvious and you always know when he enters one, and most of his add-ons aren't even good, aside from the one he needs base-kit. Like of course he's not add-on dependent, most of them aren't even worth using.

My experience, but he's just too easy to beat in a traditional way. Too vanilla. I prefer to go against any killer who I can at least have fun beating.
