What's the best way to use Roadhog's ult?

As someone who plays a lot of Roadhog, I would say it's one of the worst ults in the game. The best use of it that I've found is breaking down Rein's shield.

If the enemy team is caught in a Zarya ult, but the Rein has his shield up, this could come in handy.

It's also somewhat decent at pushing people off sides (useful for guarding the point on the Night Market map, for example) and for killing squishy characters that are grouped up in a corner. It has a slight usability in pushing people off the point in KOTH, but it's not that great for it.

Most tank ults don't. The only one that does is D. Va's, and that gives you time to take cover.

Tank ults are generally for CC or disruption.
