How much of a speed difference is there between running forwards and backwards when someone is attacking you. I know there are speed differences between the characters themselves, of course. However, I'm trying to figure out the best way to avoid attacks such as Winston's Ultimate when he's attacking you specifically, and this is also assuming either no escape abilities or they're all on cooldown. Is it better to turn around and run, hoping for the best, or backpedal and strafe and try to move out of range?
