Ending sprint is jank

When stopping a sprint, the character takes way too much time in animation. It doesn’t feel snappy at all, it feels 1) like I’m locked out of my character, and 2) that there a delay between letting go of the sprint button and the animation even starting.

Kindly have another look at this.

Never really thought about this because I'm pretty sure I've just conditioned myself to always exit sprints through a dodge roll to bypass what you're complaining about.
Who am I to say anything, I don't respect my time either.
You are right, that it should be addressed and simply made smoother/snappier. Sprint was a bit of a quick fix that they have made some refinements to over time. Was never meant to be OP, there was a weight to the choice to Sprint.

I almost never encounter this issue because I cancel out of Sprint w/ a Skill or sometimes a Dodge Roll. But if you can avoid the annoying animation of ending a Sprint so trivially, what's the point of the annoying animation at that point?
I know my framing is a bit loaded but I think the point still stands.
Don't get lost by being so focused on the target that you forget to enjoy your surroundings.
Go outside, sprint as fast as you can, and see how fast you can stop.
I use dodge roll to transition out of sprint.

I did get jank while using blink though. Once my cast speed got too high my blink would follow with the sprint stop animation if I didn't press space bar quickly enough.

Go outside and try to cast a fireball or summon a skeleton archer 🤡

I see his point, my skeletal archers had terrible aim.

My point isn’t that I can’t make it work.
The point is: it’s jank and if they want to make an amazing game they should fix this.
