Oppression vs Surge

Oppression would be better with Pop. It actually regresses gens across the map regardless of distance & can tell you specific gens that are worked on when the skillcheck is missed. Surge won't actually allow you to use Pop unless a survivor taps the gen or was working on it when Surge activated so you're depending on survivor plays to get value out of it.
I would def say Oppression over Surge. Surge works best with other regressing perks like Ruins imo
I'd say Oppression. It's sort of like a manual Ruin (I KNOW the regression is nowhere near as much as Ruin) that can never be cleansed away thankfully but has a lengthy cooldown that I think needs to be reduced a bit.
Surge I honestly don't know much about but what I do know is that it's usually only going to affect one generator, maybe more if you're lucky with an indoor map / down that survivor in between two gens but idk.
For more consistent value and synergy with Pop I say Oppression all the way since you'll be popping gens anyways with, well Pop lol
Surge feels like more potential reward but I highly doubt you'll be getting it. I like perks that give me more control over their activation and that's what Pop Oppression does.
Pop and Surge are a little off combo. You down a survivor, Surge activates and then PGTW activates. But, now you have to go far to find a gen in your TR that isn't regressing.
I like PGTW and Oppression.
I like Surge with Infectious Fright.
They both should have that ridiculous cool down removed. Surge more so than Opp. I don’t even know why Surge has a cool down.
I actually like the idea of surge and pop on a high mobility killer regress everything nearby and then go hook and take off to a far off gen you see people at with BBQ.
Yes i know that Pop and Surge don't synergize this way but after i saw Otz is using this combo, i tried it and it's good so far. Often survivors will just tap the "surged" gen or are working on it or you can pop a gen elsewhere (works good with BBQ). One of those 3 situations is nearly always the case. Before i was using Sloppy as my second stalling perk besides PGTW.
And today i've finally unlocked Oppression because i thought it may be even better. Maybe i just had bad luck, survivors were really good and maps were unlucky.
Yeah maybe i just leave Sloppy for stalling in there (my go-to 4th perk if i don't know something else), i hate cooldowns too
