How Damage Falloff is Calculated

Exploring the implementation of damage falloff in Overwatch, how Tracer's damage falloff was broken during season 1, and some miscellaneous observations about this system. These techniques are not unique to Overwatch, so you can apply these concepts to most other games. Furthermore, these functions are typically not hand-written and are instead abstracted away in math libraries, e.g. Mathf.Lerp() in Unity. CORRECTION: My comment at 7:54 is not true, since Orisa did not have damage falloff in Overwatch 1.
