Sure Wish Demogorgon Had More, and Better Add-Ons Affecting ”Shred”
Maybe the elite players get good use from portals, but I sure don’t. At least not enough to make any of the many portal add-ons worth it. And there are so very many.
Shred, on the other hand... To me, that’s his primary ability. But the best I’ve seen so far is “slightly increase missed attack recovery speed”, or the same thing with 1 additional portal. And they don’t even stack!
How about moderate recovery? How about the option to “stack” the slight ones. How about increased shred range? How about turning while shredding? How about increased recovery after shredding a pallet? On and on, so many options that could, nay, SHOULD be available.

I believe that they designed him with his portals being the main part of his ability, with his shred being secondary.
... But the shred is honestly the most useful part of his kit. So it's a shame that he only has 3 Add-ons that affect his shred. And not even in a significant way. To me is most comparable to ghost face. His power is designed around marking people. But it's so niche that you only ever really use it when you hit a situation that it serves well. You primarily use the shroud to get rid of your terror radius and red stain for mindgames. This means his best Addon are the three he has that increase his power recovery speed, and none that affect his stalk.
Demo is the same way. You can use the portals, but for the most part you work for them harder than they even help you. So his best Add-ons will always be the few that affect his shred and he won't have any that change his power in helpful ways. It's sad really.

Seriously. You hit the nail on the head there!
Here’s an idea! How about an ultra rare where we “tremendously” increase shred recovery time, but reduce portals to 2 (or 0).
You know, since portals are supposedly so powerful that they make up his main power, this trade-off should make Demogorgon very difficult to use, eh? -sarcasm btw-
Heck, if it removes portals, the devs should be fine making this a brown add-on. I’m sure noooobody would eeeeever use it! Cuz we just can’t get by without portals.... 🙄

well if demi would get addons rework im all for it it ghostface addons also will get rework . his addons are terrible . only cd ones are used and maybe camera but its not worth ultra rare ,,,

Seriously, the only add-ons I use are the ones that affect the leap. They need to buff his add-ons or buff the portals. Demo will remain a mid-tier killer until they do.

He's mediocre people like him like that for some reason, I dropped him like a sack of bricks cause all the other killers do better than him in every aspect.

His portals make it very easy to know where people are if you play it right... especially if you want to defend a Devour Hope totem... : )
If you have DH, you won't need shred so much... but then again I play on console.

The portals just need to be more useful. They were meant to be the focus of Demo's kit but feel even more of an after-thought than Freddy's teleport (which legitimately was just tacked-on to Freddy).
Freddy does not have to place his teleports beforehand, his ability to teleport can't be destroyed (until all generators are done), there is no travel speed but there is a charge time and cooldown.
Hag has to place her traps (like Demogorgon) and they can be destroyed, but there is no travel speed, charge time, or recharge time.
Demo gets the worst of both worlds; portals have to be placed, can be destroyed, and have a charge time, travel speed, and cooldown.
With that said, they should just remove the cooldown completely. Sounds crazy, I know, but when you factor in having to place the portals, having a travel speed, and the fact that each portal has to be traveled through at least once to active it's detection ability, there is already quite a bit of time investment in using portals. Cooldown time is an unnecessary one.

I think portals should have a significantly longer destruction time, a larger killer instinct radius, and a much shorter cooldown. I think the cooldown should stay, albeit a much shorter one, because people might abuse Make Your Choice if there was no cooldown.

It's just like Plague getting 50 add ons that only affect Corrupt Purge.
Like ######### load of good that ######### does when you have matches where nobody cleanses.
