Game 1 - overwatch

This month, I'm going to revisit Overwatch. I literally haven't played since launch, ten years ago. I loved the lore around the characters, but the gameplay never hooked me.

I might also look at some of our existing overwatch-classic questions, and see if any are still relevant/can be ported to the overwatch tag.

Questions Asked:

• How have health, armour, and shields changed since classic Overwatch?
• When playing as Mauga, which opposing heroes should I be switching away from?

Answers written:

• Does Mercy heal more (or faster) if you continue to aim at the heal target?

Major Edits

Most of my edits are to overwatch-classic questions, but I've made a point to add the overwatch tag for questions that still apply to modern Overwatch:

• Does smurfing provide enough downward pressure to introduce bias/skew competitive ladders? - Majorly clarified the question. Smurfing is still a major issue in modern-day Overwatch.
• What did Mercy do to Reaper? - A bit of a cleanup of the question. This is an interesting one where the accepted answer is based on speculation, which was made incorrect by further lore being revealed. I've left comments to help clarify these as well.
• Does Mercy heal more (or faster) if you continue to aim at the heal target? - Title & body edits for clarification
• My HUD completely disappeared! What happened to it? - Some formatting and grammar cleanup
• Is there an achievement for getting the basketball in the hoop? - Edited every answer, as each had a broken video link. It does mean two of the answers now share the same video. I also added image descriptions.
• How do you "target" emotes at specific players? - Clarified the title and incorporated information from comments into the answer.
