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.

I'm going to have to disagree with a large amount of this list. Some of the counters you suggest simply don't make any sense to me and multiple, well known, hard counters aren't even listed.
