How to turn off record highlight feature?
I believe it records everything in the background, and then, when I press the button it cuts part of that recording, right? But that background recording should reduce my fps and I would like to get rid of it. How to do it?

Simply, if you charge directly into an enemy, they won't take any damage and be pinned for the rest of the charge; if you only just graze them, they'll take 50 damage and be knocked back, just like what would happen if you charged into them after pinning another enemy. All of this seems to completely ignore relative height, i.e. there's no vertical graze boundary, and you'll always pin an enemy even if you're just touching their foor or their head, but this scenario is harder to find in regular gameplay.
Imagine, if you will, a spherical Reinhardt, and visualize how enemies' bodies would react to a 200+kg metal ball flying at them. If the enemy were to only touch one side of the sphere, they'd take damage from the hit, of course, but they'd be pushed aside instead of dragged forward. Now if the Reinball were to hit an enemy directly head on, so their body was directly in the way of the center of mass of the sphere, they'd be moved in the same direction as Reinhardt is, dragging them along for the charge. I know it's somewhat of an abstraction, but it works very well to get an idea of how pinning works. I've made a diagram to explain what I mean:
Of course, this is all based on my experience, but it seems like an accurate model.
Falloff range for McCree's weapon is 35 to 55 meters, and the damage would fall off from 70 damage at 35 meters to 20 damage at 55 meters. Extreme range probably means beyond 55 meters of range, which is considered the highest possible distance where the damage is at the lowest.
EDIT: McCree's damage falls off starting 20 meters now.

You can't turn off Overwatch highlights.
It actually doesn't seem to record full footage in the background from what I understand. Apparently, the Highlight feature can produce footage at a higher resolution and frame rate than your system can provide. This leads me to believe that instead of recording the complete screen in the background, it actually retains a deterministic representation of the past 12 seconds. When you decide you want to use one of your 3 highlight slots, it just stores this 12 second representation and doesn't actually change it to a video until you ask it to, using the settings you provided. So the highlights feature shouldn't actually have a noticeable effect on your system performance.
In addition, the highlight recording happens on the servers, so it shouldn't have any impact on your PC performance.
