The 6.1.0 Stealth Nerf To Demogorgon - A Puzzle Solved?
Okay, finally figured out what's going on here.
Maybe.
I'm in the process of quitting a 26 year smoking habit so my brain is a bit scrambled.
So - something felt 'off' about Doggogorgon since 6.1.0, with him going from an okay killer to one of the weakest overnight.
But...nothing on the surface was changed on him.
Now I had my suspicions, but I was watching an old video from a creator I enjoy and they mentioned that the cooldown timer on successful hits for killer being decreased in 6.1.0 was not applied to shred. AFAIK, this also didn't apply to Pig's Ambush, Nemmy's tentacle and a few other killers, but they are strong enough to absorb it.

Pig strong enough to absorb it but demo isn’t? What kind of world are you living in. Demo is perfectly fine, run black heart if you really want to reduce the cooldown.

I don't think "no boost" is a "nerf", more like... an unchanged situation ? He didn't get worse, he just didn't get stronger.
That being said, it's really nice that you're quitting smoking ! If you can take DbD, you're strong enough for it ;D

Yes, because Pig's kit is bolstered by her traps.
Demo's kill rates are rock bottom, as he relies a lot on shred.

Special attacks wouldn't use cooldowns the same as basic attacks. Also a buff to basic attack cooldowns wouldn't cause a nerf to a special attack cooldown that didn't change.

And shred is still plenty strong with the ability to shut down strong loops entirely like shack. Plus, with his strongest addons, barbs glasses and black heart it’s slightly faster than basekit speed now

His bottom tier kill rates seem to indicate the opposite.
...This is a very weird hill to pick to die on, by the way. How does it make your game worse if Demo gets a buff?

i think its more that the meta changed in a way that hurt dem dem

why would the cooldown to a power be effected by a change to basic swings? not to mention demo has an add on to do that anyway

I was trying to work out why Demo is struggling.

They said successful basic attacks nothing about special attacks.
