Demogorgon Buffs and QoL

I've been maining for Demo for a while now. Iirc, he's been unchanged ever since Leprose Lichen got nerfed, and I think he could use some changes that would make him an overall even more fun killer, so here are some I thought of:

OF THE ABYSS

I think Demos portals are really underwhelming. They need to be placed down and can easily be closed by survivors once you traverse them. They give you undetectable for a few seconds, which isn't really all that useful since Demo is a really loud killer, and if you misplace them in an area where there are no objectives anymore, you have no way of replacing it if survivors don't close it, giving you 0 value out of it, and I find myself not using them at all most of the time other than baiting survivors. So, here are my changes for them:

  • Portals can't be permanently closed by survivors, but rather they will not be usable for Demo for maybe 30 or 40 seconds.

  • Traversing and opening portals is faster, and emerging from one gives you haste for a few seconds.

  • You make no sounds while undetectable. Having no portals won't matter, and you will still be able to place one; however, the first portal you place will be permanently closed.  

SHRED

His Shred ability is a very strong chase power, but there are some minor issues I have with that ability too. Sometimes I want to charge up a quick Shred, but I time it slightly wrong and either cancel or M1 instead, which can be very annoying, so it should be changed so that you can basically spam the M2 button without it canceling the charge. I also have some issues with the Crouch Tech mainly on Demo, as it works way more consistent on him than on other killers. Playing against someone who uses it just makes me fake my M2, which I just find really boring, so I think the hitbox should be adjusted; however, it shouldn't be completely removed.  

ADD-ONS

Demo's add-ons aren't really that great. There's like 3 add-ons worth running (Barb's glasses, Black Heart, and Mew's guts); his add-ons for his portals aren't good because most experienced Demo's don't use them anyway, and his add-ons that make him undetectable for longer are kind of useless since you still make a map-wide sound, and you're still also loud af. I think some should be made basekit in order for more variations in his add-ons.

  • Barb's Glasses, Black Heart, Mew's Guts, and Rat Liver are made basekit.

  • New add-ons that give him a bit more range when shredding.

  • Leprose Lichen nerf reverted

Anyways, that's all I thought of. Feedback is more than welcome!
