What's wrong with Sprint Burst?
I see a lot of killers say that the next most broken thing after DH is Sprint Burst and I'm just genuinely wondering why that is?
To me it seems like a pretty vanilla exhaustion perk

Maybe you're reading old Steam forum threads?

Old threads, perhaps? I haven't seen someone complaining about Sprint Burst in a very long time.

Nothing's wrong with SB. Even when combined with Fixated which lets you save it up without penalty. Even against Bubba which this perk is the strongest against, it's not unbalanced and can indeed be countered.

Nothing at all. It's screwed me over a couple of times as killer but it's definitely a fun perk to go against IMO.

Anything that extends a chase for a survivor killer mains (not all of them) are regarding as “broken” now. It’s ridiculous plain and simple. The argument is they are getting outplayed by a perk and not by the player themselves. Basically any exhaustion perk in their eyes is unfair and unbalanced. Gimme a break.

Yeah like everyone else has said, SB hasn't been complained about in a while. It's not overpowered or anything, neither is dead hard, they're just both pretty annoying to deal with. And the fact that autoaim will stop your lunge on a sprint bursting survivor even though you definitely could've hit them.

No, it's not that I've just noticed in a lot of the nerf DH threads lately or just nerfing problematic survivor perks in general people tend to mention sprint burst after dead hard, ds, unbreakable etc. and I just wasn't sure if it was really as bad as they make it out to be lol
I'm more surprised that people haven't said more about Iron Will tbh

Killers hate exhaustion perks, that’s about it.

Yeah I've started to notice that trend lately.

Yup. And a lot of it has to do with content creator influence. I love (most of) the content creators for this game but when they make YouTube videos about disliking certain perks it can get real problematic on here/Reddit/Twitter, etc.

I said in some of this threads that i think sb is as strong as dh. But i think both shouldnt be nerfed.

SB is not the strongest against bubba. Its far better against stealth killer. I would even say that sb is bad against bubba, bc you cant outrun the chainsaw.

Because it's a guarenteed free pallet/vault and it's the most skilless perk in the entire game?

Yeah I've had this happen before lol
Thought I could get away from him with it and he just caught up I was like waitholdupnow ######### LOL

I wouldn't listen to anyone I had a killer complain at me for running balanced landing on haddonfield when the map was randomly spawned and nobody played it , I get that it's a good map for BL but the perk itself isn't strong anymore and is arguably one of the worst exhaustion perks since being nerfed

It's annoying but that doesn't mean it's broken.
