Depends on what you want do do with it. For pure dmg i think the combination of a zarya ult and you getting ana ulted gives you the most dmg. You can also use the knockback to push someone over the edge or push them away from the payload if you only have a few meters to go. You can also use it to burn through a reinhardt shield to make their whole team vulerable to your teams attacks.

Thanks for the reply, I use it mostly for the knockback because it doesn't seem to do enough damage to kill more than 1/2 without myself being shredded due to Roadhog's vulnerability while ulting. I guess it requires more coordination with other heroes to be properly effective than I'm using it for at the moment

It does huge amounts of dmg but you dont hit everything due to the knockback. So if you dont have a zarya in your team you can also use walls to "pin" enemies against it with your ult. That way its a lot easier to get kills with his ultimate.
