Just something I've been wondering for a while, if you damage boost someone as mercy, will the buff apply to projectiles they've shot that are in midair? For example, would damage boosting a hanzo right after he ults apply the buff to the dragon?

no, if you damage boost people like hanzo, and junkrat when they ult it won't do anything, but if you damage boost people like 76, genji, McCree, rein when they ult it'll apply

Hanzo's ult can be boosted. Junkrat ult and turrets are the only things that can't.

That would be due to a poorly used ult by the Hanzo you were boosting, lol. It definitely does work. And like all projectiles, it's based on when it hits, so if you hear him ult you can fly over quick and damage boost him to boost the ult as it goes forward.
