Sprint in PvP should be baseline skill.

[Koltik]

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.
