Which hero uses a weapon called the 'Rocket Launcher'?

The story behind the answer

Pharah uses a weapon called the Rocket Launcher. Her full name is Fareeha Amari, and she is an Egyptian damage hero in Overwatch whose combat style is built around ranged explosives and aerial mobility.

The Rocket Launcher fires rockets that travel over distance and explode on impact, allowing Pharah to damage groups of enemies as well as individual targets. Direct hits are powerful, but her explosions can also damage Pharah herself, so firing at close range requires care.

Her weapon works closely with abilities such as Hover Jets and Jump Jet, which let her attack from the air and reach elevated positions. Her ultimate, Barrage, releases a rapid stream of rockets. A common mix-up is confusing Pharah’s weapon with Junkrat’s Frag Launcher or Soldier: 76’s Heavy Pulse Rifle; those heroes use different weapons and attack patterns.
