Blast to the fast.

You want to make a fast class without copying another class's method of going fast or being too overpowered. Here's my advice on how to go about on it.

A passive speed bonus is NEVER a good idea. If your class has a speed bonus for doing absolutely nothing or for running, then you need to rework some things because that is NOT ok. Passives might want to make it so that you are slightly more resistant against being slowed or stopped in your tracks, instead.

Fast classes are generally Rushers or Support, so if you want a super fast class I'd advise you go for a Support Rusher.

Using E as a method of going fast is common and effective, look at examples like Renegade, Proto, and Major. Now try to put your own twist on it, like a burrow concept or short dashes.

Using Z as a speed boost isn't that uncommon, as Tempus and Nether have them for Z.

X and C shouldn't be any form of speed up, maybe a dash but that's about it.

V might want to draw from the Support side more than the Rusher side, as supports generally have ultimates that give a massive speed boost, while Rusher ults are more DPS oriented.

Hope this improves the quality on Rusher classes.
