Oppression Needs Love

Hoarder got changed in the 7.0.0 - End Transmission chapter patch, even if its effects were rendered negligible towards certain items.

Coup de Grace got changed in the 7.1.0 - Nicholas Cage mid-chapter patch, where it received a massive buff that allowed it to gain up to 10 tokens maximum in the Trial, with 2 tokens gained every Generator popped.

That leaves Oppression, which is not getting any love as far as we know. This perk should get love, and it really needs a change that allows for it to be used in a manner that can work with other perks and keep itself in line with its intended design.

As I always post, this is what I think this love should be:

Oppression

After performing the damage generator action on a Generator, Oppression activates and three additional Generators will start to regress at 150% the normal regression speed.

  • If a Survivor is currently working on an affected Generator when Oppression is activated, that Survivor will receive a difficult Skill Check.
  • The Generator you damaged becomes blocked by The Entity for the next 20 seconds.

Oppression has a cooldown of 80/70/60 seconds.

This levels the playing field for Oppression, giving it effects that justify it having such a lengthy cooldown while also shortening the cooldown to healthier levels to allow it to activate more.

This also makes the Perk a relatively strong slowdown and regression perk on its own, allowing the Killer to have more time to win the match by keeping crucial generators from being completed by Survivors through the Entity Blocker.

And for the Survivors that are worried about the additional regression speed, don't. It can't stack with the likes of Overcharge and Call of Brine, nor does the initially damaged Generator get dealt the regression bonus.
