Just thought its useful for a reference if nothing else.

Audio queues within the game are exceptionally useful ("Its High Noon" = everyone ducks for cover)

But all might not be aware that enemy/teammates hear different variations of the voiceover..

Below is a list of every character whether friend or foe and their voice queue...hope its of some use
[SPOILER=Assault Heroes]
Genji

Good Against -
Stationary turrets - Torbjorn's and Bastion - and weaker Heroes (think Mercy).
His deflect (Default E) can knock back many attacks - Roadhog's Ult and Pharah's rockets for example.

Bad Against -
Symmetra, Zarya, and Winston - Genji can't deflect their attacks. Winston can soak up a lot of damage using his shield and quickly negate a pesky Genji.

Ultimate - Dragonblade - Deals high close range damage. Best when combined with something that either immobilises the enemy or shields Genji (think Zenyatta and Lucio's Ults).

Works well with - Zarya's Ult, Mei's Ult, Reinhardt's Ult - these can all trap enemies making them easy kills for the angry Genji.

Voice Cues -
Friendly: "The dragon becomes me!"
Enemy: "Ryūjin no ken wo kurae!"

McCree

Good Against -
Weaker Heroes - Mercy, Tracer (McCree's flashbang can stop her in her tracks), Zenyatta - and big targets - Winston, Roadhog. Even with his damage recently reduced, McCree can still quickly kill lower health Heroes with the flashbang fan hammer combo.

Bad Against -
Tanks - Reinhardt's shield blacks even his Ultimate - and long range heroes - Widowmaker can pick McCree off from a distance. A good Genji can deflect a fan hammer, perhaps the most satisfying way to kill an annoying McCree.

Ultimate - Deadeye - Kills any target in his line of fire, taking less time to lock onto lower health Heroes. Best when combined with something that either immobilises the enemy, or when the enemy team doesn't know where McCree is - try to get above or behind them!

Works well with - Zarya's Ult, Mei's Ult, Reinhardt's Ult - these can all trap enemies making them easy kills at High Noon.

Voice Cues -
Friendly: "Step right up."
Enemy: "It's high noon"

Pharah

Good Against -
Stationary targets - Pharah's rockets do a lot of damage with direct hits. Bastions and turrets can quickly be killed, but try to approach unseen - jetting in the air usually paints a big target on your back. When faced with a Torbjorn turret, step out from cover and quickly fire before ducking back in - you can fire off a rocket before the turret locks and starts to fire. Mei can also be dodged with a well-timed jump jet, avoiding her cold spray.

Bad Against
Long range Heroes - Widowmaker and Solider can quickly kill a Pharah with some good aiming - and Heroes that close the gap - Roadhog can pull Pharah out of the air, bringing her into the fray.

Ultimate - Rocket Barrage - Fires a payload of rockets that work best against grouped up enemies. Pharah is very vulnerable while using this, try to protect her with a shield (Lucio's Ult, Zenyatta's Ult).

Works well with - Zarya's Ult, Mei's Ult, Reinhardt's Ult - these can all trap enemies making them easy targets for the barrage.

Voice Cues -
Friendly: "Rocket barrage incoming!"
Enemy: "Justice rains from above!"

Reaper

Friendly: "Clearing the area."
Enemy: "Die! Die! Die!"

Soldier: 76

Friendly: "Tactical Visor activated."
Enemy: "I've got you in my sights."

Tracer

Friendly: "Nailed it!"
Enemy: "Got ya!", "Bombs away!", "Here ya go!", "Time's up!", "Wait for it..."

[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER=Defence Heroes]
Bastion

Friendly: "Do du do duuu."
Enemy: "Do du do duuu."

Hanzo

Friendly: "Let the dragon consume you!", "The wolf hunts for its prey!"
Enemy: "Ryū ga waga teki wo kurau!", "Ōkami yo waga teki wo kurae!"

Junkrat

Friendly: "Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines."
Enemy: "Fire in the hole!"

Mei

Friendly: "Freeze! Don't move!"
Enemy: "Dòng zhù! BùxÇ" zÇ'u!"

Torbjorn

"Molten Core!"

Widowmaker

Friendly: "No one can hide from my sight."
Enemy: "Personne n'échappe à mon regard."

[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER=Tank Heroes]
D.VA

Friendly: "Activating Self Destruct sequence."
Enemy: "Nerf this!"

Reinhardt

"Hammer down!"

Roadhog

Friendly: Laughs
Enemy: "Eat this!"

Winston

Friendly: "Roar!"
Enemy: "Roar!"

Zarya

Friendly: "Fire at will!"
Enemy: "Ogon’ po gotovnosti!"

[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER=Support Heroes]
Lucio

Friendly: "Oh, let's break it down!"
Enemy: "Drop the beat."

Mercy

Friendly: "Heroes never die!", "Till Valhalla!", "Heroes never die... for a price."
Hostile: "Helden sterben nicht!"

Symmetra

Friendly: "Teleporter on-line. I have opened the path.", "Teleporter on-line. We move swiftly."
Hostile: (Teammate will report "Enemy Teleporter Found" the teammates voiceline is person who is closest to it)

Zenyatta

Friendly: "Experience tranquility."
Hostile: "Pass into the Iris."

[/SPOILER]

Also to note teammates voicelines are quieter than enemies

Great post Milli, some very useful information. Learning how to spot these things can change the tide of a game sometimes!

[RogueTaylor]

Great post milli thanks a lot for all the info I was interesting to read thought and what to listen out for normally I just listen for junkrats wheel or Hanzo shouting

[Prototype_Jay]

Found a cool post on reddit where someone made player cards of the characters strengths and weaknesses. Thought it could be useful.

That's an awsome fine, they look so good and very helpful for some new players

[Chaosphere]

In the not too distant future we hope to have some organised forum areas for character / ability / map / team tips and tricks etc...

For now here is another useful link

Has some cool short cuts I didn't know about!

[Milli]

Was going to post this later - popped up on my news feed...some nice routes.  
Useful when choke points are being defended really well

Good find bud

[Mugi]

Good spot, definitely worthwhile on some maps - others I think may be a bit risky but would work if the enemy team aren't aware of it!

Goddamn high noon...
