Infernus, Catalyst & Movement Speed Items

[PogDaddy]

Hello,

I've been measuring the movement speed in different interactions using "cl_showpos 1" and have found a strange interaction with Infernus' ability catalyst. This seems to only happen if Catalyst hits someone, but he also has a movement speed item. As per the video below base movement speed (with items) is ≈389u/s. If he casts catalyst on an enemy, then it drops to 311u/s until he comes to a stop. In the video I test if this occurs if the ability hits nobody - it doesnt. In addition to this it also does not seem to affect his base movement speed of 255.92u/s if he owns no items whatsoever. I'm unclear as to which of the 2 movement items I have which is causing this interaction. In the video the 2 items owned are the following:

-Enduring Speed
-Superior Stamina

I guess my only suspicion is that sprint speed only applies out of combat and thats why theres the additional move speed where it doesn't hit anyone, but that is currently the only reason why it would be in the game.

I think this opens a bigger point of tooltips giving a bit more clear info. What is the difference between "sprint speed" and "move speed" as a positive modifier? how does it factor into the total speed calculation?

at a guess, I think it is that only movespeed is affected by slow percentages, and sprint speed is unmodified by hostile slows.

I don't know if there is a command to show bot movespeed or give them items, but this could be tested.

If your character has a sprint speed, it adds the sprint speed when out of combat for 5 seconds, you gained sprint speed for infernus when you bought Enduring speed

You lose your sprint speed when damaged, fire your weapon, or enter combat in some way.

It does seem odd that firing catalyst doesn't immediately remove your sprint speed as expected and only removes sprint on hit with the enemy.
