If you want a barefist fighter and that doesn't break your immersion, I'd recommend taking a look. The Pugilist by Benjamin Huffman is only on the DM's guild (and costs money) but is one of the most popular Homebrew classes for 5e. For people wanting more arcane martials, it's worth taking a look. It's sort of like an arcane/curse based Paladin. Recently I've seen someone playing The Maledictor by /u/Dracovitch, and I'd say it's worth a recommendation to take a look. Leaving aside KibblesTasty's stuff, there's some other cools stuff out there. Since you mentioned subclasses, I'd in particular recommend Path of the Dragon, Circle of the Woad, and Pact of the Tempest Warlock, all as subclasses with clever mechanics allowing you to do something neat you cannot do with default stuff, while being balanced, polished, and 5e design friendly. Probably the most playtested Homebrew for 5e out there (with the exception of the Blood Hunter I guess). If you want to be able to include characters you otherwise cannot make, I still cannot recommend it highly enough. The really impressive part here that it will make a character that fits seamless into a 5e group in terms of mechanics and balance, while coming from a class that has unparalleled customization. It can still make a lot of characters the official one cannot, and is more of a toolbox for making awesome balanced characters than a class. The Alternate Artificer isn't for everyone now that the official Artificer is out, but it merits mentioning. Most of the better versions of Warlord are imitations of this one.

First time I really saw someone solve for the Warlord in 5e. This convinced me that Psion can be a standalone class, and that can use Psi Points.

I would recommend all of their stuff without much reservation, but some of my favorites due to the clever mechanics are:
