    With the way this games netcode works, sprint should be permanently removed from PvP.

    With the way this games netcode works, sprint should always be available or else the poor melee would never catch up to people kiting

    This works both ways. If everyone has sprint, then sprints cancels itself out and there is 0 point to it. Melee's have more trouble getting consistent damage off in a sprint vs sprint scenario (both players sprinting) compared to neither player sprinting.

    Oh, is that right? I always have trouble catching up to people even if neither of us use sprint, but I think maybe that's just my bad ping coming into play. (and I'm ill-practiced with melee)

    Once you catch the person then if neither player sprints you will not lose them. Melee have gap closers to help with the catching aspect.

    However in a sprint scenario where that player sprints away, the melee pops a sprint to chase, then the melee will get less moves off and/or have no tank cc support due to the increased movement speed. Ever try attacking someone sprinting around a tree? Doing laps around a wall, even, can cause issues.

    Frontlines needs it back, just another thing making that game mode less fun.

    Feast, ma, it is not really a big deal, if you can sprint, they can sprint, just cancels out and makes the left of melee/tanks harder with it in.

    not a really big deal? it is, you use it as melee/tank when you burst, you use it to fall back faster, you use it to escape certain attacks, it is a strong action and used wisely on high tier matches.

    I do agree, Sprint should be a base action
