There are a lot of different weapons and abilities in Overwatch. Some are hitscan (I'm using the TF2 definition of hitscan), even if they have a projectile (I'm told Roadhog's hook is hitscan). This significantly impacts how you aim an attack - is there a list of which abilities and weapons fall into this category?

3Uhh, you have a few projectile weapons in this list. Projectiles are, by definition, not hitscan. – Powerlord May 13 '16 at 1:26

1For example, these weapons have projectiles: D'va's Light Gun, Mercy's Caduceus Blaster, Soldier: 76's Pulse Rifle, Torbjorn's Rivet Gun, Roadhog's Scrap Gun, Tracer's Pulse Pistols. That's in addition to the ones @Unionhawk has already commented on. – Powerlord May 13 '16 at 1:28

1@twobugs And I think that is the case for 76, but mercy and d.va's pistols definitely feel like projectile weapons. But, I'm not able to retest that until May 24, so I don't really know if they are or not for certain. – Unionhawk May 13 '16 at 17:27

1@Unionhawk D'va pistols in her mech for are definitely hit scan, but her blaster in human form definitely uses projectiles. I've played enough D'va to tell you that for a fact. – Powerlord May 13 '16 at 19:31

1Soldier: 76's heavy pulse rifle is hitscan. It's the helix rockets that are projectile. – Sterno May 14 '16 at 18:54
