I'm really enjoying TFT I think its great! I have been having a great time trying to climb up the ranked ladder so far, that being said in my last 4 or so games i have seen nearly everyone going demons (anyone that makes it past the first few eliminations that is) and it almost seems super oppressive i would have multiple level 3's with really great synergies going only to hit the wall of 3 or so people who went demon and it completely stumps me I've also gone demon's and almost no one beside other demon teams could really stop me i guess i'm just kinda curious as to what would be a good counter to demons and how i could go about getting around them because I'm not to sure exactly how to do it.

Gunslingers, they hardly care about the manaburn. Glacial and assasins depending on your rng luck with crit/stun but all in all, demons are pretty strong and mana burn is a stupid mechanic and one of the reasons that mages are still not great despite the rather big buff, it just doesn't matter how much AP you have if you never can use your skill. Vs most setups, demons just remove their abillity to retaliate while doing tons of damage as many demons are high tier DDs.

Champions that don't need to rely on spells to survive, mainly champions that mostly have attack damage as popular builds for them. Such as Draven with bloodthirster, or tristana with rageblade (which has turned into a jojo meme).

I mean Gunslingers is already incredibly powerful and they don't really rely on spells other than MF who was actually made dumber when they changed her targeting.

I never won a game with demons against (voli)glacials, (voli)brawlers and (CB)gunslingers.

Demons are not op at slightest. It is just that several strong units are demons.

Glacial to freeze them, Yordle to dodge them, and anything that doesn't use Mana to invalidate their demon buff

Rangers, yordles, and glacial all work well against demons. Gunslingers as well, if you have a wall of tanks for them to shoot behind.

according to popular opinion demons are OP

you can in theory beat them with anything that doesn't really want to cast spells or has way too low of a mana pool to care about mana drain

zed/lucian/trist/vayne/kassadin/akali to name a few

you need to hyper feed these characters to be your carries against demons

zed ie pd and claw and for the dps champions rfc claw and shiv or guinsoo

also a really strong front line wilds are the best for supporting dps carries

Best counter to Demons is a front line that generally doesn't need Mana to do its job. IE....

Kassadin and Shape shifters who come pre-mana'd into a fight.

Also, items like item 3748 help destroy them quicker, as do Gunslingers, and Assassins who rely more on hitting a crit than using skills.
