This thread is just a bit of a fun one to think about. If every hero suddenly got +1 damage or healing number to their primaries, who do you think would benefit from this the most?
Definitely the shotgun/sprayer heroes. +1 to every bullet? Reaper, JQ and D.va will have a field day with this.

Juno would love that. Big boost to both her healing and her damage.
Tracer would become a menace once more.

I think the author means +1 per ammo. So Reaper wouldn’t benefit +1 damage per bullet but per shot, same for Dva.
I this case, Sombra and other fast rifles like Sojourn or Soldier would get a giga buff.
As far as I know, the patch notes always balanced with damage per bullet when tweaking numbers of the shotgun heroes. I can remember Torbjörn having the bullet damage of his secondary fire reduced once.
Reaper would benefit massively. He would do 6.4 (per pellet) x 20 (pellets total), which is 128 per shot. With headshots, that’s 256 per shot. He’d be capable of one-tapping nearly every squishy.
Of course though, that’s just statistics and numbers without any reality mixed in. You still have to get within that 1m distance to be able to do that in one shot, which is what Reaper struggles with. He would still be subpar, but I’m sure other shotgun users would benefit far more.
