Question about Sprint vs Blink in Mid lane

Hey everyone,

So I've been working on my mid laning a bit lately, and I'm always a little uncertain as to what actives to buy. I mean, beads or aegis, is usually a must have, but as far as the second active goes, it seems like it comes down to pretty much sprint or combat blink. I don't really understand why certain gods would maybe take blink over sprint, or vice versa. If anyone could give me some details and explanations on what I should take, why one over the other, or when to take what, or just anything, it'd be great!

Thanks a lot, it's greatly appreciated.

Finally, there are even some gods that will take neither of these options since they have extremely good escapes. An example of this is , who will often take both and .
