Projectile:

Projectile refers to a moving attack or ability in Overwatch 2 that travels through space instead of hitting instantly. Projectile shots can usually be aimed, dodged, or blocked, which makes their travel time important in combat.

Compared with hitscan attacks, projectile weapons and abilities reward leading targets and predicting movement. Many heroes use projectiles for primary fire or abilities, so understanding the term helps explain why some attacks feel slower but can still be accurate at range.
