Speed boost perks?

Question

&nbsp;How is it that when I'm running people are able to catch up? 9/10 times they can always thirst hard and close gaps. It's not just with the obvious legends that can do this like Pathfinder or Octane. It seems to be with every legend.Ex: Last match there was a Wraith who was clear on having me dead. Playing as Wattson, I holster the weapons and continuously run. No matter what moves I made the Wraith stayed on me. This is all the while they're stopping to shot at me.So I can continuously run but they can stop, shoot, stop, shoot and still keep/catchup? This doesn't make any sense.Is there a special speed boost perk I don't know of? Because last I checked running with no guns is faster than running with a gun. Especially when someone takes time to shoot it as well.

@ColdHours more than likely it is someone with much higher ping than you that is basically seeing your position half second behind where you actually are. I have this happen all the time.

@NaRnIaaa&nbsp;While it is agreeable that Sliding/jumping can enhance the ability to maneuver. This should not be the case with an individual equipped with a weapon versus one without. Especially when they take the time to STOP then shoot. It feels like there's a catchup slipstream coded in the game.
