Lithe > Sprint Burst

I don't know why so many people prefer Sprint Burst over Lithe, in my opinion it's not that good.

Do you know how many times I've died on hook because someone didn't want to use their Sprint burst to come get me? It wastes so much time too, you're just walking 70% of the game because of it. Like all the times I've played killer and they tried to Sprint burst away and yet I still catch them in only a few seconds?

Lithe is honestly such a AMAZING perk and I only see a few people use it. I've won over thousands of chases because of it. All the matches I've played Sprint burst in were my worst matches because I was worried about using it to soon and then getting hit and then chased down, and then dying on hook because no would save me cause they didn't want to use THEIR Sprint Burst.

    I personally feel that the initial distance you get from a killer, especially a stealth killer is more important than getting a window vault into lithe.

    Also you can save sprint burst at 1% exhaustion and use it as a stronger dead hard. So many good things you can do with sprint burst that can prolong a chase.

    SB helps massively with deadzones. Don't get me wrong, "Lithe" is amazing, but not as good as SB.

    Just because some people suck at using sprint burst doesn't mean it's bad.

    I saved I lot of pepople because of Sprint Burst. You just remember your clueless teammates. I wouldn't cover half of map without noticing a killer that quickly with a lithe.

    I prefer Lithe due to timing. If the killer is near and after me, not only can I gain distance due to Lithe and a vault, but the killer will need to waste an extra few seconds going around the Twall or jungle gym I bolted through. Granted, not always the case, but it's more helpful than SB. In my opinion.

    Both have their uses. Sprint Burst has the advantage of early distance that can throw a killer off, where as Lithe is a bit more unexpected and is actually controllable.

    SB literally make dead zones not exist at all and If a stealth killer is too close u can still get away with it and make it to somewhere safe with the speed boost. It hard counter thems especially Wraith
