Make it so survivors can't hear Demogorgon teleporting.
for the killer that introduced the "undetectable" status to the game, Demorgon is pretty terrible of using it. Whenever he teleports, he announces to everyone from Nancy to the Mindflayer that he is now going to attempt to sneak up on you. What is even the point of having stealth if you are just gonna give everyone a warning you are stealthing?
His portals are still good for the map traversal, but other than that they have no utility in surprising survivors really. and so here is one simple change to Demogorgon that would finally tie his entire kit together:
"Survivor's outside of the killer's terror radius do not hear a notification upon the Demogorgon using a portal."
Bam. This is honestly all I think he would need besides some addon changes. Go around, set up your portals, and you are now a massive threat to every gen you have set up. Survivors won't get a free warning to start running to a pallet the second they hear a teleport, so he will actually be able to sneak up on survivors with his undetectable and get a hit like he was designed to.
Or perhaps can we remove the stupid roar, and change it so that when he teleports the generators start flaring and flickering instead? that would be so much more interesting and I probably wouldn't even mind his warning then.

Can’t forget about the earthquakes he makes every step he takes

Demo has no ears and can't help it don't make fun of him.

I apologize. Next time I see him I’ll boop

I play a fair bit of demo and I don't worry about it much. With his massive footsteps, I don't think the stealth aspect is ever a big part of his kit.

Yeah Demos biggest issue is that he simply gives too much information to survivors. They know exactly where he's at and what he's doing at all times. He needs the info he gives brought down. Getting rid of the global teleport sound and removing his loud footstep sounds during his "Undetectable" would be a great start.
He also needs a big addon pass. His best addon is grey and most of his addons are garbage.

The thing about doing something like this is that it would widen the gap between solo and SWF, which the game really doesn't need at the moment.

Same thing with Pyramid Head and all the "Undetectable" they were pushing for him. Not having a red stain or terror radius doesn't do very much when he's stomping around and slamming his weapon into the ground with the crash of a thunderstorm (much less that he's so tall you can see him coming over most walls anyway). Undetectable probably ought to silence ALL killer noises, if it's supposed to be a stealth element.

It would to a 'slight' extent yes, but I think the positives of buffing a killer that is not played often and is not super strong outweighs that negative, and I say that as a solo player (rarely play SWF nowadays, talking with people drains me). Ghostface used to have a sound cue and among other things, was extremely weak in the PTB because of it.

Yeah it isn't because the devs were clearly playing it too safe while designing him. But they clearly intended for people to use the portals to sneak up on people; why else would they create a whole new status effect for him?
It could be a strong part of his kit if they just tweaked him further.

I think there should still be an indication that he's teleporting, but for someone who is supposed to be 'undetectable' he makes so much noise stomping around it's impossible for him to sneak up on anyone.
Just make him completely silent for 3-5 seconds after emerging from a portal.
Survivors will know he's teleported, but they won't know where to, and that could be just as good pressure.

you know pig, wraith and ghostface exist and can stealth whenever right?
it wouldn't change anything.
specially with the t-rex steps that it takes

Rat liver base kit, rework almost all of his addons, fix his sounds and such not only with the teleport but you can't hear survivors over his gurgling and stomping half the time I feel like he should have some kind of built in tracking perk to even it out; like if he has to take a penalty to audio like that he should have built in blood hound or something to compensate. It would make sense given his nature too honestly.

Please remove Demo's elephant feet noises.

Well, I think that 1 second of undetectable isn't exactly meant to help stealth up on people, I think it's just to prevent them from getting a head start. That's what that one ultra red is for. I think they're more for map mobility in general.
