I'm making this thread so that the Overwatch players here may engage in discussion upon which characters are effective counters against the others, and hopefully become better at the game from this knowledge. A few may be obvious, but I'll list them anyway. Feel free to comment and add to my list, I'm sure I'll miss something, then I'll try to keep everything I can in the OP. If you are confused why a character is listed a certain way, please ask as well. I play some characters more than others, so if you main someone and think I left out a detail, once again, please say so, this is to be a detailed table of information.

Bastion can counter Winston, his shield and health aren't enough to let him kill a good Bastion who can aim. Lucio also counters Soldier, from my experience, since he can always outheal Soldier's damage, though you shouldn't be soloing anyone with Lucio in the first place. Pharah counters Reaper, since her rocket damage will likely force the Reaper to waste his Wraith form, allowing her to finish him off from a distance, even if he heals himself. Tracer can, in most cases, counter Hanzo. I haven't seen any Hanzo consistently kill a Tracer, more often than not, those were lucky shots.
