Can a Winston buffed by Mercy outdamage a Mercy heal? - Brown Wooden Letter Blocks on White Surface

What I've gathered from experience is that if you're playing Winston it is ultimately useless to attack a hero who's currently getting healed by Mercy if you can't focus Mercy herself. There's just not enough damage output there. My question is - is Mercy's boost, coupled with Winston's damage, enough to outweigh an enemy Mercy's heal?

Does Mercy damage boost increase healing?

No. Mercy's Damage Boost alternate-fire increases the damage as the damage event occurs. As Ana's projectile only heals or deals damage on contact, the projectile itself cannot be "boosted". Furthermore, as Ana's damaging shots are damage-over-time based, we can compare this directly with Widowmaker's Venom Mine.

How much damage does mercy buff?

Mercy gains ultimate charge equal to the damage she amplified. Hypothetically, the highest damage dealt value is 330% and the highest damage taken value is 125%. Combined, the maximum damage amplification would be 412.5%. This can then be further increased with the headshot multiplier.

How does Mercy Valkyrie work?

Mercy's Valkyrie Suit helps keep her close to teammates like a guardian angel so Mercy can heal, resurrecting or strengthening them with the beams emanating from her Caduceus Staff.
