Why is Demogorgon able to set portals right next to gens?
This needs to be looked at. It makes it way too easy to camp gens and 3 gen.

the gens have limits on killer kicking them now also he got a cool down on his TP power.

That's kinda the purpose of his portals. It's so he can get around the map faster, but specifically for getting around to his objectives faster. His portals aren't a chase ability so putting them in loops isn't gonna do a whole lot for him and survivors can remove his portals for a reason.
Also 3-gens aren't much of a problem anymore and, no, you can, in fact, counter them now in solo que. If a killer is only trying to defend a 3-gen now and you notice it all you have to do is repair a little bit of one of the gens then run away, let the killer kick your gen, run back, repair 5%, repeat and the killer eventually won't be able to kick that gen anymore which will allow you to slowly chip away at it. You don't need much team coordination for that at all.

3 gen is dead as a strat in my opinion. I used to rely on it a fair bit for many of my wins as Killer.
Holding a gen is only really viable for the strong 3 gen Killers that the new system was brought in to combat (e.g. Skull Merchant, Singu, Knight), which is kind of ironic. Demo is a better 3 gen Killer than most though, I'll give you that.
But yeah, just burn through all his regression events by running away early and you're good. I think even Solo Q should be able to break most 3 gen situations these days.

The portals wouldn't be of much use otherwise, would they? Their purpose is to allow you to get where you need to be as fast as possible. And since survivors are usually on gens, that's where you need to be.
Also, as others have stated, he has a cooldown on the teleport and 3gens aren't really an issue anymore. Gens can only be regressed 8 times (exceptions being missed skill checks and Ruin). So after a while, you just break through. It's also in the survivors' interest to avoid 3gens, if possible. If the killer tries to protect a 3gen right from the start, they'll already go through some of the regression events and you'll have an easier time later on.

I mean, travelling through portals is on a rather long cooldown, and they can also be taken down. 3-genning isn't that big of a deal either, now that gens only take 8 hits.
I also think you mean tunnelling, not camping. They don't complement camping particularly well.

unnerfed lipros lichen so that portals are not just a 3 gen tool and can be used for information and map presence.

3 gens are still a thing, but the regression that is meta is tied to getting hooks. You need to actually do stuff in the match besides kicking a gen or you lose.

If only there was some sort of counter-play for Demogorgon's portals. Perhaps a way to disable them or something. Then it might be fair. (that was sarcasm btw)
