Buff Demogorgon

With the release of Vecna and ST chapter 2, Demogorgon is now even a forgotten killer in his own license. There are many reasons for this including his power being recycled onto newer and more powerful killers, him being pretty mid against anyone who knows how to actually play the game, his addons being booty, him not receiving an actual positively impactful change for a couple years, and now Vecna being him, but significantly cooler and better in every way. Solution? Buff Demogorgon and make some visual changes so he doesn't feel so bland and uncinematic compared to his cooler older brother. Here are my suggested changes for Demogorgon to make him feel stronger, more unique, and more cinematic:

Visuals:

When the Demogorgon is in a trial, the sky is dark, except for an area that is red and stormy with the Mind Flayer in the background.

When the Demogorgon teleports, the killer player can see the Demogorgon flip upside down and crawl to the portal they selected to teleport to.

Basekit:

The Demogorgon's terror radius is lowered from 32 meters to 24 meters

The Demogorgon's portals now cannot be destroyed by survivors, but the Demogorgon can destroy them at will when he is looking at them and within 48 meters.

Increase the Demogorgon's portal setting speed by 25%.

When the Demogorgon emerges from a portal, he will receive undetectable for 15 seconds (currently 5).

Increase the maximum range of a fully charged shred by 1 meter, and decrease the time it takes to fully charge shred from 1 second to 0.8 seconds.

Decrease the base shred miss cooldown by 10%

New part of ability- Crawl Stance:

Each 3 times the Demogorgon teleports, he is given the option to enter Crawl Stance for 40 seconds. While in the stance, the Demogorgon's movement speed in increased to 4.9 m/s (122.5%), his terror radius is decreased from 24 meters to 16 meters, he breaks pallets and breakable walls 20% faster, he vaults windows 20% faster, he teleports 10% faster, and his red stain is reduced by 50%. However, while in this stance, the Demogorgon loses his ability to use shred.

Addons:

There will be many changes to his addons. Not going to list them here though. I'm not trying to torture y'all. Use your imaginations though.

Respectfully let me know what y'all think about my proposed changes to the Demogorgon!

    ngl maybe change the portal abilities all together because we have to many abilities to similar to one and another like xno, dredge and others i cant remember.. but your idea doesn't sound bad; we need a new creative power for demo ykwm

    Overall these are pretty minor buffs and i don't think that they can remove the ability to seal portals because of the killer instinct detection ability.

    That's the problem that i think people have with this killer is he is or was believed to be a balanced and fun killer when in reality he's designed for a playstyle nobody really wants to do, and thats putting portals on gens and teleporting to them when you detect survivors are on it. Then shred is your tool to pressure survivors into dropping pallets and creating dead zones.

    Problems i have with demo are:
    - Placement of portals is practically illusion of (viable) choice. It's not really viable to put portals anywhere but directly on top of gens.

    - Weak add-ons

    - Camera lock on successful and missed shred hits feel awful.

    - He's overall a pretty limited killer, but many are, so maybe he's just not for me.

    I don't really have any other problems with demo other than that. His stealth his very weak but i think thats just a balancing act because he has shred. When it comes to reasonable minor tweaks they could make, they've done all this overtime. His teleport is much faster, he opens portals faster, they reduced the teleport cooldown.

    what new power could possibly replace demos portals to make it a little bit better or overall better any ideas?

    im not saying your idea is bad but maybe if we change the power to something else we see in the show it might be better??🤔

    They've already said the have no intention at adjusting Demo in the future for whatever reason, they never seem to know how to make reasonable balancing choices

    I think faster portal interactions/placement would go a really long way

    not unusual for them to make an addon partially basekit and nerf the chosen addon - Blurry Photo on Unknown, for example

    Demo deserves a rework.
