I found osteo works really well because the poison continues to prevent health regen.
Couple that with overload grenades and ur good to go.
I do agree tho that at face value, auto/smg is the worst weapon class for overloads
That's pretty much been the only way Overload consistently works on weapons, it seems.
Overload Bow back during Splicer: use Monarque
Overload Hand Cannon last season? Thorn
Overload SMG this time? Osteo Striga
Only because the poison can proc the Overload as well. That kinda speaks to a huge design flaw. Look at Anti Barrier and Unstoppable Rounds for example. With Anti-Barrier, ALL rounds have the effect, and don't require a windup. With Unstoppable, you just have to ADS for a second to charge it up. But with Overload (except for bow) you have to fire a certain number of shots to trigger it.

Any bow works without a poison for Overload when it's the champion mod. You just keep shooting and they stay stunned and don't regen health.
