How is Demogorgon so far?

His pounce is great. Survivors don't know how to dodge it for now tho so let's see it how it goes. But just like Billy's chainsaw, you can hit it from a long distance if you know how to use it. The range is nice and the charging time is very short

It would be great to have another powerful killer.

Do you know if there is any audio cue for when the demogorgon is teleporting to a portal? Like can the survivors hear if he is teleporting to a portal very close to them?

Hopefully not. From what I can tell, it doesn't really help countering loops though, or does it?

Jungle gyms were the main thing I wanted to try out with the demo after they did the reveal because the dash looked like it had potential there. I might just wait for release though because I dont have a lot of time right now. That wait time combined with the limited perks and all. I wish they did the PTB with the killers preloaded with all the perks so they could be properly put through the wringer.

The lunge is VERY strong.

They should shift some of the strength out of the lunge and into his portals (and his perks too while they're at it). The portals seem to be the part of his kit that has most skill expression potential anyways, so he should be more rewarded for using them well rather than the lunge which seems pretty basic.

Oh no I hope they don't do that. It's great if he has some chase potential, I hope they don't nerf that ability. It does seem like it takes skill to use it effectively at loops.

I'm just sad it doesn't work well at pallets.

It would be so cool

As someone new to the PC version of DBD, I will wager my newborn child that Demo is stronger than Omegablink Nurse but weaker than Burger King Myers.

He is midtier but tbh isn't suprising.

Just played him around for a bit.....he's definately not pig....or any other standard M1 killer. I mean you can go that route but....using his power properly and not playing yourself is gonna be a tough one. Its like the hillbilly without the 1 shot. You can easily play yourself since the power only goes in a straight line. Now this isn't considering purple add ons or pinks or whatever, I don't use those to judge viability.

You basically get free tracking of survivors near generators, assuming you place your traps properly....the catch is, you need to have 1 trap available to yourself to mosey your lummox ass down to the place where you see survivors in tracking range. Now assuming you have to guard multiple spots....he's definitely not freddy tier in this regard...#########...gets....difficult.

I would honestly rate him below pig, and even doctor. He's not easy, and going to be considerably add on reliant and skill based. But your skill can only go so far with him so....he could be sub pig tier some days, and hillbilly tier other days depending on the person behind the wheel. If you're not good behind the wheel, this killer is not good, which is where it should be. This isn't some auto reward killer like Legion was on initial release. People are gonna find out real quick, you may be better off not using his power in some chases unless theres no pallets nearby and no window vaults and no corners.....

My recommendations on him....skip the tracking slot perk....skip the mobility perks...focus on on hit builds that slow the game down....just a little bit. Or double down on mobility and take stuff like play with your food. Exposed is also a good synergy with his power....assuming you can get one via perk or otherwise. Gen protection builds could work in theory assuming you had enough time to cover spots and teleport around. But he's just like spirit or any other killer without build in slows or odd interactions like dream world or doc shock. If you don't end your chases fast you're gonna get rushed....

Dang, just found my new main 😍

Eh I was just having a ton of trouble catching people at jungle gyms. But I'm like 90% sure that has more to do with me having never used him than with him being bad or anything.

For stealth killers, sure this idea is great in theory....but it also requires you to know that the survivor is near that area....and also requires you to prelaunch and preprep that area. I'm not sure about the detection radius of these things but they seem short as hell. Like by default i think you have to be pretty much standing on top of them to be detected....which is pretty bad....which means the detection half of his power doesn't work without an add on or a survivor standing directly on top of the portal...

Lunge is only thing that makes him viable and fun to play. If they nerf that, He becomes instantly trash-tier and there's enough those killers already to not need another one.

I think people don't know you can fake out of a pounce. Faking out can be lethal to a survivor and the only real issue the Demogorgon glaringly has is being lackful in the chase category, he can be looped.

Played 10 games with him, and while the first 3-5 of them took getting used to, Demo has some pretty good pressure and chase ending potential. I currently place him in B-A tier because he closes distance fast with his Shred (pounce) attack, can jump around the map with the portals, and his Undetectable status after emerging from a portal has already given at least 2 survivors heart attacks in my games. It's definitely a difficult killer to learn, but I'm betting that more experienced players are going to pick him up quickly and prove my tier estimate to be correct. Is it high rank viable? Not sure at the moment (I played at rank 10), but I feel it has the potential to be. The only things I think need to be changed are the time it takes to destroy his portals, which seems to be about 8 seconds or so, and his perks which feel under-powered as I got only a little practical use out of Surge, and no use out of Cruel Limits, or Mindbreaker.

I hope they don't nerf it at all, it seems strong in chases but definitely not overpowered in any way.

The Dash is really nice. It is comparable to BIlly, but easier to use. While it has good results, it still has counterplay form the Survivor Side (they can dodge it). But the Killer can also fake it.

Portals are quite cool, even tho they are more for Travel. Thing that might need looked into is Portals in Endgame. Had one game where with 3 (but most of the time 2, because one Survivor died short afterwards) Survivors, it was not possible to do 3 Gens which were quite far away from each other, because the Auras would have been revealed next to the Portal so that the Killer can travel there and interrupt the Gen Repair.

I mean, when a Team really 3 Genned themselves, it is absolutely fine, the Survivors ######### up. But if all Gens are far away from each other, it should not be possible to patrol them in such a way.

I played over 10 games normal and a few kyf with survivors with over 2k hourse, so a match for good players only not those low rank players in random que (no offence but its the truth).

On random games the killer feels fresh, nice and different. You can use the dash as an zone and mindgame ability aswell and that helps on quiet alot of loops. You can even just cancel the power without getting punished that much, even abit way to low, i would say increase abit the "slow down" when you cancel the power but not over 9000 just like on LEGION. The new map is veeery cool looking but the most loops are way to short for my opinion and its way to easy to bloodlust or even just respect there and get a free hit. So you cant really test the demogorgons dash well there, on other maps such as mac millian or the game etc with bigger loops the power feels very good and quiet fitting to the game.

I would say with my experience the demogorgon is gonna be a decent Killer that can be played but he is not that good to be a consistent played killer on high ranks. Even if you have a kind of chase ability and a map control tool you cant really stop the genrush how freddy, spirit or other good killers can stop the genrush.
