Is 60 tickrate enough for a game like overwatch?

I feel like 60 tickrate is not enough for a game like overwatch where you have many different abilities and speed movements.

I don't know if its the tickrate or anything else but many many times i find myself getting killed on a different place.

For example , when i play genji and i dash away , i will go on another place and still get killed. When i play winston , many times i would jump , but on the kill cam i never jumped. ?? Or many other times , im sure i escaped and i am behind the wall , on kill cam i was never behind that wall...

I know for sure that my ping is 20-40 , my fps is around 200 and i have 144hz monitor , so everything is fine .

    But the killcam comes from server and not opponent...

    Kill cam is also 20hz update rate with some other quirks. In some situations this can make it look a bit strange.
