Thanks for the Demo nerf. Bye.

I'm not going to bother with this game anymore. Honestly.

The good luck to the other 11 Demo mains left.

Good thing the OP LB change made it to live tho. Lucky survs.

I'm not going to repeat my PTB post in totality. People that want to read it can find it.

The devs have to realize that they can buff weak killers, without breaking thier legs, if this game is going to have a future.

I don't understand the direction of trying to make Demo a budget Hag by buffing his portals.

If I wanted to play Hag... SHE. IS. RIGHT. THERE.

The portals are the gimmick, not the shred. I don't understand how this is so hard to grasp.


Power

  • Traverse the Upside Down cooldown: 10 seconds (was 14 seconds).

Useless.

  • Normal Traverse the Upside Down velocity: 20 m/s (was 17 m/s).

Useless.

  • Undetectable lasts 3 seconds after Traversing the Upside Down (was 2 seconds).

Useless. *SCREE* *STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP*

  • Movement speed while charging Shred increased from 3.68 m/s to 3.86 m/s.

QoL buff, but Rat Liver was nerfed.

Addons

  • Black Heart: Reduces cooldown time after a successful Shred attack by 20%.

Buff. Meh.

  • Rat Liver: +3.5% movement speed while charging Shred (was 9% but end result is unchanged due to increased base move speed).

Major nerf. Ruined. Also thanks for lying straight to our faces. 3,9951 is not the same number as 4,0112.

If you don't understand why this is important, git gud at your job, devs.

  • Rat Tail: +25% action speed while opening a portal (was 50%).

Nerf.

  • Rotten Pumpkin: When traversing the Upside Down, the portal you enter is destroyed, blood points earned.

Nerf. Ruined.

  • Barb's Glasses: Slightly increases Shred recovery speed when breaking a pallet.

Buff.

  • Rotten Green Tripe: Increases Killer movement Speed while traversing the Upside Down by 15% (was 25%).

Nerf. Ruined.

  • Sticky Lining: increases the radius in which Survivors can be detected by Of the Abyss by 2.5m (was 1.5m).

Buff.

  • Brass Case Lighter: Inflicts 60 seconds of Blindness (was 45 seconds).

Still useless.

  • Deer Lung: Increases Upside Down traversal speed by 40% (was 30%), now reduces portal count by 2.

Nerf. Ruined. You don't have to take something away everytime you buff something else. Jesus.

  • Eleven's Soda: Shows yellow Auras for Generators being repaired while traversing the Upside Down.

Buff.

  • Thorny Vines: Seal time +10% (was 14%), detection radius 1m (was 1.5m).

Nerf. Ruined.

  • Lifeguard Whistle: Survivors near activated Portals are indicated by Killer Instinct without having to charge Of the Abyss.

Major Buff. Sadly, the only one.

  • Unknown Egg: Reduces power recovery time after traversing the Upside Down by 1.5 seconds (was 2.5 seconds).

Nerf. Useless. Very rare addon LOL.

  • Leprose Lichen: Survivor auras remain for 3 seconds after emerging from a portal.

Buff.

  • Red Moss: When traversing the Upside Down, The Demogorgon emerges from the target portal silently but more slowly.

Useless. *SCREE* *STOMP* *STOMP* STOMP

Viscous Webbing, Violet Waxcap, Vermilion Webcap, Upside Down Resin have not been touched and are all still terrible. Rare and very rare addons LOL.


I would say get your shyte together, but, frankly, I don't care at this point anymore.

Bye.

Have a nice time and stay healthy everyone.

    They buffed him and changed add-ons to make it work with his buffed power. He got more buffs than nerfs. What?

    Somebody's an idiot.

    If you think new Pumpkin is anything less than A or S tier, you have no idea what you're talking about.

    The ability to ENDLESSLY RECYCLE YOUR SPARE PORTAL to teleport across the map every ten seconds from any departure point without dedicating anything is godly.

    Sorry, I don't know what they did, did they nerfed the Demo's base kit?

    thinking cd or speed is a useless buff on Demo is very .01 IQ. Have you never ever caught someone trying to cleanse your portal in your entire Demogorgon existence?

    Have you never been in a close call where you can teleport to a gen just before it finishes?

    The buffs make it incredibly easier to not only make it to those situations, but reducing the time a survivor has to react.

    -

    the majority of things you're calling nerfs are because of the basekit buffs that were brought in. You're still going to have a shorter cooldown than before if you bring a cooldown add-on. You're still going to have faster speed than before if you bring a speed add-on.

    He moves exactly 1% slower now while holding his shred if you're running Rat Liver. That is the only thing that could possibly be construed as a nerf in this entire patch. Everything else was a flat buff.

    No, they soundly buffed Demo's base kit. Rat Liver was barely nerfed (101% speed before vs. 100% speed now). That's it.
