PvE sprint fine. PvP. NOPE, NOPE, NOOOOOOOOOOPE! Sprinting sucks. Literally SUCKS the fun out of the game when your kill just dashes off.
Sprint should feel like an ability in PvP, just like the jackhammer used to be for the Engineer, cool down, doesn't last forever only everyone has it. Period. PROBLEM SOLVED FOLKS! ^_^
If sprint was slowed down that people can’t escape certain abilities like Chomper’s burrow or other OHKO abilities, then I can see many people switching to highly mobile heroes. No one likes to die in this game and then has sprint, in certain maps, for 30 seconds back to action because they couldn’t evade an OHKO ability while being around the objective.
In a full Turf Takeover session, the average number of vanquishes of the top performing players is usually 30 ~ 40 vanquishes. That is all according to my rough estimation, if you’re okay with that. I wonder if the slow-sprint system would make that number go up? Which is another issue with slowing down sprinting. Players with good aim and high fire rate weapons would highly benefit from this change.
Sprinting and escaping is a necessary tactic because, as I’ve mentioned before, you might not be playing as a hero that can counter the other one that’s shooting you. If a Chomper can’t escape a Foot Soldier and can’t sprint back to safety, then I can see it further ruining the flow of similar heroes. A Scientist landing one shot and then warping around a target that struggles to sprint. Good luck with that! I'd probably be one of the players who would take advantage of the new system. Don't look at me! When I use Nightcap to hit multiple targets catching them off-guard struggling to escape, finishing them off easily. Oh, and good luck! I'll be using Heavy Helper to slow you down, that would be an amazing indirect buff! Never mind!! implement the system right now! /s
Please fix the aim and control issues before implementing this idea.
