Bold text, real scary.

From me, the point of zombie sprinting is to quickly finagle your way through maps, like the bigass Last Harvest. The community, obviously, just holds sprint + spam left click, which I guess is a bonus feature, even if it does kill low ranks in 5 seconds. The real problem here is the stamina. You can run for a moment before your stamina bar fully runs out, which looks balanced when said, but isn't when done. That means you can easily reach survivors from far away locations, where a survivor would take triple the time to reach because of their stamina, which doesn't really make any sense, but I guess it's there to keep the high-ranks into the game and have an actual challenge while completely ignoring all of the low-ranks and middle-ranks cries for mercy.

Take a little experiment. Join a server, preferably Apocalypse, and just look at how many zombies sprint, it's just ridiculous, but hilarious at the same time. Survivors can barely get any breathing time, and it's even more sad when normal zombies can run faster than the three fastest zombies in the game, Diggers, Elementals and Edgars.

I'm not saying "hey remove this idea it sucks hard" but combined with the low survivor stamina, ability to upgrade both your health AND damage while sliding across the map and traveling through the map at practical M3 speeds, it can definitely cause issues. It can keep high-rank survivors in the game for challenge, for sure, but even they have periods where they can barely breath or outrun because there's constantly a super saiyan zombie on their rear. You can moonrun and shoot at the same time, but that just means you'll have no stamina and bullets in the end.

Don't get me started on "it's easily counterable by punching, rambo, etc". You're just slowly depleting your own stamina, especially if you're in a small group or alone. I've seen too many people just spam punch or kick, hoping to stun the zombie. For me, it works 50-50, either you actually hit the zombie or somebody else just steals your kill. Either way, ugly feature, if you'd even call it that.

Zombies... are no longer zombies. I'm not saying zombies can't sprint but sprinting at freaking light speed is insane.
