Sprint Burst nerf is pointless
all this nerf has done is nerf the other exhaustion perks that were fine! Sprint burst still serves the same purpose, it removes the downside of bad positioning and allows survivors who get found at a gen to make it to the nearest loop or reach the time waste building every time they are found.. The core of the perk, being able to sprint without having to interact with anything is the issue. only giving it some nerf like "the survivor runs at 80% speed" would actually ever change it

Sure, it can still be used to cover up bad positioning, but it also slows the game down because Survivors with it can't run everywhere unless they risk it not being ready and totally useless in a chase if the killer comes and finds them on a gen.0

they nerfed it? all these survivor nerfs and killer buffs. i know the true culprit. the elephant that continues to relieve itself in the middle of the room. the great satan of this game. the cog in the wheel that mercilessly creates maelstrom and unrest.

It would take 40 seconds of not running. That means walking everywhere.0

I agree with you. They seem to have missed what actually makes Sprint Burst so powerful, and are nerfing the other exhaustion perks no one was complaining about???

+1, this "SB nerf", that is more of an exhaustion nerf, is just not adressing the Sprint Burst issues a single bit.
Additionally, the 3 other exhastion perks didn't deserve such a treatment.3 -
I suggested a different rework to SB, as right now it has too many advantages compared to other exhaustion perks and also nullifies ambush based killers (Wraith and Pig), and because it is so widely used, those two killers are heavily punished by a single perk.
My proposed change would be to rework SB into:
Sprint Burst gives you an additional 1/2/3 seconds of increased speed after being hit by the killer's attack.
Causes Exhaustion.So basically, it would now double the distance you can cover after being hit by the killer, which would allow you to hide somewhere or just get enough distance to be in a safe spot. Could be quite powerful late game, with gates open too.
Yet, it would stop the bullcrap we currently see in the game, where it destroys ambush based killers, trivalizes bad positioning, because SB can save you and also works as a little Dead Hard, on top of that it also activates mid chase... all of these would be gone.

Agreed OP. This nerf does nothing to address the part of SB that actually makes it OP. Only thing this accomplishes is nerfing the other exhaustion perks. SB will still be OP and meta0

I'd like to see exhaustion recovery reduced by 50% only while in chase. Might be more difficult to implement though.

This is a great idea, but I can already hear the screams of protest and claims that the Devs are destroying the game because it would be useless against one-shots and while injured.
