So I've always known that Pharah can buffer her boop while firing a regular rocket and I've taken advantage of that to some degree (mostly by preparing my retreat while firing) but I've never really figured that it could be used offensively until now.
An example: Enemy McCree on high ground that you're about to dive. Normally you'd boost up to him, hit him with a clean rocket, and try to get the followup without getting flashed/headshot. This works a lot of the time, but what's even better is to cook a boop as you're firing the first rocket so you can bounce him too far away to flashbang you or aim properly. Meanwhile, because you know where he's going to go, you can set up a good followup.
This works for diving Ana or even Soldier + Ana as well; hit Ana with the rocket and use the boop to either separate them or block Ana from retreating.
Don't do it to Widow, though, as you're pretty likely to just help her by booping her unless you know she has no hook.
