So I know the current flavour is nuking regression from orbit. But I've been mucking around with an oppression build on nemesis and I've found an interesting build which could be effective yet balanced.

So I was trying it out with dms since pain res is now nerfed into the ground. And it makes for an interesting game. Ran lethal, eruption, oppression and dms. Because the skill check often catches survs off guard it would lock them out of gens, and inform me what gens were being worked so I could pressure them. Really fun game actually, surv team was a bit weak for my mmr, game was winnable at 2 gens. But I opted to let the last 2 survs go as per usual.

But for the love of all that is unholy can we please remove the cooldown for oppression? It was such a pain to not be able to trigger it a little more oftwn and since it's such a mediocre effect anyway there's no harm triggering it more often. Then I wouldn't have felt the need to run eruption. And it makes for an interesting playstyle, it's slowdown rather than a hardcore regression perk like eruption or pain res used to be.

    Agreed, they need to reduce the cooldown to maybe 40/30 seconds or add a condition (hooking someone) to activate it again

    Condition hooking someone would make worse version of already existing perk. I wouldn't like that.

    Cool down could be reduced for sure. I think even 60 would be enough to make it somewhat viable.

    80 for it's effect is so long, but issue is that perk is kinda noob stomper type.

    Good players will often manage to ignore it. It's pain if you already have skill check, then you get oppression. That's kinda impossible to get.

    But it would be viable in some combinations, with surveillance for more information etc.

    I think 30 sec would be too oppressive even for oppression... That would be super noob stomper. Mainly with doctor. I can see why they would be afraid of that. But 60 would be good middle ground imo.
