How do you use demons?

I mainly use 2 demons, and I specifically run them when I see people building glacial comps. However, my favorite way to use a 2-demon strategy is to go ranger knights and turn one of the rangers into a demon. I find this super helpful against assassin comps running Pyke because you can just deny his ult, and it's strong against Sej as it can prevent her from opening with her ult.

However, I don't really like using more than 2 demons. I just don't feel that the mana burn bonus is strong enough to justify 4 or more slots on a team.

Yeah - Ranger or even better Gun/slinger/Blademaster is something I can see working. Everything else not so much.

I consider Demon nothing but a conveniec pick when you alread have 1 or 2. Like going Morgana for Sorc/Shape instead of something else because of Swain. ^^

I personally like turning Graves into a Demon given the chance. Sure there's better items for him but that AoE splash mana drain chance is good to counter some beefier comps.

Demons aren't bad in their current state you just don't build them early in the game really. You don't know how many times a brand or Morgana's stupid mana burn has made the difference in a fight. Aatrox might be weak as hell at rank 1 but at rank 2 he can actually has a pretty strong aoe cleave because he will actually be alive to use it. If anything I'm sure demons are going to be considered over-tuned after the changes. People lately have been using 2-4 demons typically because they realized how strong individually they are and how good they can be as carries(Morg, Brand, Swain). Like sorcerors you usually need to have the right frontline characters for it to work(talking about using all 6) which is the problem though Morg and Swain can take in the tank items and wreck assassin teams rather easy like all team comps the big problem is that glacial just wrecks you no matter what you are playing once its done.
