If you missed what I stated I'll repeat it: "In-game doesn't exactly equal canon, especially since both in-game for OW & TF2 and anything that happens in-game is non-canon, only the official cinematics and comics are canon for both."

If you don't know what canon is let me explain: canon is the works of a particular author or artist (in this case company) that are recognized as genuine. Only the official comics and cinematics are considered genuine, the in-game can sometimes count as canon but it's iffy at most.

Overwatch the game is non-canon and puts the accuracy of comparing in-game speed at a questionable area. What's known for sure is that anything that goes on in the game (gameplay essentially) isn't genuine in terms of story (which is why Widowmaker, Reaper, Sombra, etc can team up with actual members of OW). Again whether the same can be said for the speed of characters, etc. is unknown unless it contradicts what's stated in the works considered canon.
