It's a good start.

While I think Demo needs some help, I wouldn't go so far as to say he's weaker than clown. He does need an add-on pass, he needs more add-ons that affect his shred.
Ding Dong your opinion is wrong
Demo is perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I think Demo is far above clown, he has a quick pallet counter, can shorten loops, fake his power and has map travel
And I think changing a single addon would not change anything of his power level
Just start by reworking almost all of his terrible portal addons
I think Demo's POWER is above Clown's, but DG also has one of the most underwhelming add-on complements in the game (whereas Clown gets several that could be considered pretty good or at least fun to run). Though if Clown truly sees any big adjustments to his power after his possible future rework, he might just overtake Demo anyway.
Huntress and Myers are probably first in line for future add-on reworks (since they don't adhere to the modern formula), but I'm really hoping that Demogorgon will be one of the killers considered for a follow-up add-on pass sometimes afterwards.
He has portals which give him strong mobility. However I will admit he has a high skill ceiling and even then he's not as good as nurse or spirit.
myers is 1 addon off from the formula 6 yellows 3 browns he doesn't need a whole rework just a touch up
But you know BHVR, they'll give him some kind of weird cooldown nerf.
Don't forget some kind of overheat mechanic to slow it down even more, stalking now ends with a nurse fatigue and you can only stalk 3 points (5 per tier usually and 10.1 per survivor) before going into a 30 seconds cooldown (modifiable to 29 seconds with addons)
As someone who plays both Demo and clown a bunch I can specify this is false, Clown doesn't have no where near as much pressure that Demo can bring, it also has the power to lunge at survivors and get a quick down if you get the angle right.
Mandy edited my post, but I don't know what she edited.
hes not that bad. hes much closer to freddy than clown is (im using this conparison due to heavy similarites between freddy's dream snares and clowns bottles as well as Freddy's teleport and demo's portals)
freddy has:
+passive slowdown(dream state)
+anti loop(dream snares/pallets)
+alt objectives(alarm clocks)
++map control(gen teleport that can be faked)
Demo has:
+map control(portals)
+alt objectives(portals)
+mediocre anti loop(shred. can be effectively paired with stbfl for a easily maintained permantly halved attack cooldown)
clown has:
+anti loop
-a long reload
they also all get notifications: screams from getting gassed by clown or stepping into a dream snare and demo gets something if they step on a portal i am pretty sure
She probably moved it from general discussions to feedback.
Lets look at killers who have or used to have exhaustion effects.
Huntress: Devs have stated her addons need to be adjusted
Clown: Needs buffs in general as well as addon changes
Doctor: Used to have exhaustion, was removed in the rework
Demogorgon: The most recent addition, before doctors was removed and incredibly weak compared to the others. Was the only one added after the ability to recover exhaustion while running was removed.
Conclusion: The developers will likely remove exhaustion addons from huntress and clown or nerf them severely, not buff demogorgons.
