7. Zenyatta

Despite technically only being a support character and part-time healer, Zenyatta will mess you up without a moment's notice

Because even though he's rather slow, only has a small pool of health and boasts passive abilities that either heal friendly players or lower the defence of enemies, the hero's primary attack is incredibly effective in the hands of the right players.

Surprisingly tough in one-on-one encounters, this philosophising robotic monk won't won't miss a beat when he's riddling you with destruction orbs, and underestimating him is an easy way to guarantee a quick respawn.

His ultimate is invaluable for those last-minute clutch moments too, being able to give the rest of the team a bit of breathing room in order to make the final push to win the objective.
