Were Demons buffed too much?

I just had one of the most 1 sided wins in TFT yet, and it wasn't any 4 3 Star build or SoS or anything like that (I actually stomped a 3 Star Akali with 2 SoS's on an 8 man with Ele team)

Every single match after about the 4th match was literally over within less than 10 seconds.

Here's the comp: Elise Warwick Varus Shyvana Aatrox Morgana Gnar Swain

All only got to 2 stars, yet the mana burn was so incredible I was just annihilating teams without any way to counter it.

I blame this too: Elise was my center, and had Zeke's Herald, and item 3190 Shyvana had a Cursed Blade Eventually Warwick had a Thornmail.

Once I had the Zeke's, everything changed. Demon's stat buff just took over the match. Maybe 2-3 champs on the other team got to use a skill.

One match, Gnar literally threw all 8 opponents right on top of my Morgana who then ulted.

I actually apologized to the other players how 1 sided the game was. I won with 96 HP left after annihilating everyone even before the first Drake round.

It's my opinion that Demons were not buffed too much. I think they've rightfully been brought into competitiveness. You don't see it much, though (or at least I don't) because players are simply accustomed to the strategy not working well previously. Also, the strategy is somewhat expensive to get into and if you're going to spend that much gold on champions then I'd probably rather build Glacial. I think it's a viable composition currently and able to hold its own with others.

Congratulations on the win.

Everytime i go Demon i lose to a rank2 Draven with a Guinsoos.

Demon is good, its just not as good as Yordle or Glacial, as it essentially does the same thing as Yordle and Glacial, the only difference being you still get hit Demons back with autoattacks. Whereas with Yordle and Glacial you just outright cant hit them.
