Is there a list of hitscan abilities/weapons in Overwatch?
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?

Ana's rifle is hitscan when zoomed in, but fires a projectile when unscoped. If you're unaware, hitscan pretty much means it will hit instantly, or at least as fast as the server will recognize it. Unscoped it will fire a projectile, much like Hanzo's arrow.Is Hanzo a hitscan?
Despite not technically being hitscan, Hanzo's projectiles are fast and accurate enough so that a good player can hit her fairly consistently.Overwatch Terms Explained: What is Hitscan
