From what little I've played, Roadhog is one of my favourites. There's something very satisfying about Pudge-ing someone to you and one shotting them
Yeah, Roadhog is pretty great. Think he's still my most played character actually. That hook is superb for taking out a Tracer/support/other low HP heroes and I ALWAYS absolutely adore any character who can self heal.
I feel like they're struggling to balance the game, though they may just be playing the "ever changing meta" game rather than looking to find a place where they feel everything is perfectly balanced. McCree was clearly the best hero in pretty much all situations at release, other than a god-tier Widowmaker, so they nerfed McCree/Widow in to the ground, which meant Pharah became fairly dominant in certain situations but was still hard countered by Soldier. Now they've buffed McCree to a similarly ridiculous level to his game release state (minus the tank melting fan the hammer), to the point where Pharah is almost a troll pick again and Soldier is pointless due to the McCree buff/Soldier nerf... McCree is just better atm. I played a shit load of McCree pre and post nerf and despite him being one of my favourite heroes, even I would admit it was a bad idea to buff him that much. He was still extremely viable post nerf to people who consistently hit left clicks.
Still, the most recent patch has improved the game overall imo. There are a lot more fast paced team fights going on and most heroes feel a lot more viable. D.Va now has a reason to exist and Zen is finally awesome, arguably too strong. I'm having fun with it, mainly playing DPS heroes and a bit of Roadhog/Zarya. Starting too get decent with Tracer too.
Yeah, I'm liking the patch too from what I've seen. I was loving Zenyatta before but his one drawback was how fast he could die... that extra 50 shields has added a lot to him and, I agree, possibly made him too strong.
Oh and that speed during tranquility now! Holy crap!
