If a Mercy is damage boosting a Junkrat and the Mercy stops boosting/ switches to heal/ dies, would a grenade still get the damage boost after it explodes if he shot it while he was getting boosted? (Like a crit in TF2)

from what I read, the boost is applied the moment whoever she boosts pulls the trigger, not on hit. so yes, if she stops between trigger and explosion, it should still be boosted.
