What can Genji deflect?

The list of projectiles Genji can reflect is nearly identical to the list of projectiles D.Va's Defense Matrix can block, but with the added bonus of being able to negate damage from Melee and physical attacks, such as Winston's Primal Rage or Reinhardt's Rocket Hammer.

Notes

1Hanzo's ultimate is fired as a reflectable arrow before transforming into unreflectable dragons.
2Only reflectable in mid air before hitting the ground.
3Junkrat still triggers mine detonation.
4Biotic Field is a projectile with no traveling speed.
5Primal Rage knockback still applies.


From the evidence in this video, he can reflect pretty much any projectile except beams like Zarya beam, Winston lightning, Junkrat steel trap, and Mei frost, and Symmetra regular fire.

Therefore he can deflect hitscan and non-hitscan shots, as well as many ultimates, including Roadhog's and Hanzo's. When blocking Hanzo's ult, he can reflect the dragons as well as the arrow shot.

After the release of Ana, the projectiles he can deflect now include an un-scoped Biotic Rifle hit. Scoped hits and Nano Boost cannot be deflected (the damage is still prevented in the former instance). Source.
