Sprint Burst Change

Since the changes to SB through the exhaustion change, it would be nice if you could make SB more predictable by putting it on an active use key like DH. I understand there are things like urban evasion and simply just walking till the killer is on you then you can SB away, but when sprinting to gens or trying to save someone using SB in those moments could prove the difference between extending the chase or getting caught. Yes, this might be considered an improved DH but unlike DH it doesn't mitigate damage and would function normally just pressed on a key rather than being randomly used by your first sprint.

TLDR: Put Sprint Burst on an active button instead of the current randomness.

    The issue with making it an active button is it just becomes lithe without jumping through a window. No one would use lithe anymore and just time the activation of the sprint burst key. It would be pretty strong so they will never do that..

    Honestly the only real issue I've been having with SB and the other exhaustion abilities as of late is a discrepancy in latency. That is to say my hit box, since the exhaustion change, has an initial issue of keeping up with me. I've noticed this with Balanced landing as well. Killer is 2-3 meters behind you when you started the ability and you still get hit.

    I think that change would just make SB the most desirable of the exhaustion perks again just because there wouldn't be any requirement for it to be used like the other exhaustion perks.
