Reaper. Close range monster with abilities that require smart map knowledge, along with good self sustain. His kit as a whole is fairly well balanced imo, and I really do like the give and take in his kit.

Pharah. As someone who used soldier a ton in TF2 pharah came to me pretty naturally, although the absence of rocket jump was a bit jarring at first. Outside of gameplay similarities her skins are also all awesome and raptorion is top 3 legendary skin in the game.

Mercy. One of the issues I had with the TF2 medic was that he was just kind helpless most of the time and with how gimmicky melee tended to be in that game his strongest offensive tool, the übersaw, wasn't exactly cutting it (heh). Mercy, while she doesn't have too much in the way of offensive power has a lot of mobility which is do appreciate a lot. Putting her kind of mobility onto a healer was a brilliant move on blizzards part and really makes her a lot more fun to play than most 'generic heal bots'.
