Save game cloud syncing

Input settings
- Individual control profiles for each hero are available, making it possible to have custom control settings and bindings for each one.
- Due to the nature of Overwatch's game engine, you can experience mouse lag despite having a framerate above 60fps. The only known fix is to use lower settings or more powerful hardware.
