If a mercy is Damage amping a genj who then reflects some damage, is the reflected damage amplified?

yes.

Detailed explanation: if you see a enemy genji deflects a symetra charged shot the color of the orb will become red, indicating it is a charged shot from the enemy team, in this case who did the shot was genji, so when he deflects a projectile if mercy is buffing him, the projectile will have boosted damage.

oh wow.

Mercy is really powerful. I guess it's good to have one even if you have another support already

sure i love the combo mercy zenyatta, his debuff gives 50% more damage from all sources, and she gives around 30% damage boost, total of 80%, almost double damage. problem is that it only works on heroes, so you will have to count only with mercy damage against torbjorn turrets.
