The Demons Need Buffs. Badly.

Buffs is plural for a reason.

Right now, if you look at the Demons, 5 of the 7 Demons are Tier 5 out of all 5 Tiers. (Source: https://blitz.gg/tft/tierlist ). They're insanely bad. I think Aatrox is the worst out of all of them; quite possibly the worst Champion in the entire TFT game.

Aatrox outright needs buffs. The others who aren't Brand and Morgana need buffs. And if you go for a full Demon comp you only have one frontliner in the form of Aatrox, so I suggest actually adding in another tanky Demon into the game, Tahm Kench.

I'd like to experiment with the Demons but right now it just feels pointless knowing that literally every other Origin and Class combination is better.

I know the Demon's ability is super strong and that's why they're probably hesitant to do it, but at this point the benefit of their Origin isn't enough to outweigh just how weak everything is. Plus just having a Kassadin with item stacks basically does what the Demons do but with better efficiency because he's not blatantly bad.

this is a problem of having too much diversity and high cost champions. Not because the champions themselves are under powered. Running all demons isn't a valid strategy. you need 6 for the gold demon emblem effect and there are 7 available.

there is also the option of combining tear of the goddess with a spatula in order to create the "darkin" item. this makes any champion a demon.

The demon strat is very niche and meant for late game. similar to the elementalist and yordle strats.

No they need to be reworked. Their passive is actually very strong, but because they have no synergies with anything else, you're never going to run {6) Demons because a full Demon comp has like no CC.

It's actually more optimal to just go (2) Demons because 6 Demons are a waste of space on a single team comp. Not to mention that some of the Demons are kinda terrible at the moment.

So, if Riot wishes to keep the current Demon passive, then they will have to:

  1. Buff certain/all Demons --- and by this, I mean reworking several of the champs OR
  2. Buff/introduce items to make a Full Demon comp viable (they won't do this; or if they do, they will quickly nerf it because Demons would just be abused if this happened)

So yeah....they need to be reworked.
