I opened 13 chests. 8 common, 3 rare, 2 epic. Got two legendary and they were both legendaries I already had. There's some nice new portraits in, though.
Also nice to see they put up bundles with multiples of each new skin tint-wise. The Garrosh bundle is missing a few tints, didn't check the ETC/Anub/Li-Ming ones. Still a bit salty you can't pay gems for the mount separately like you can Garrosh's Mad Axe skin, though. His Blackrock skin is aces,I don't even really need the Mad Axe skins (which are also p good) with that but was forced to get them to get the mount.

Wrecking Ball is a cool idea for an ability but its implementation is clunky. The mark should bias towards heroes instead of minions but half the time I'm tossing minions around instead of grabbing the enemy hero that's in the target radius.
It's neat when it works and you pull someone in and toss them into your fortifications.

if it prioritised heroes Garrosh would be OP af in the laning phase.
Per the devs, it's a deliberate choice in order to give your opponents counterplay by hugging the minions and making it hard to toss them. I'm guessing it was really obnoxious in laning phases otherwise to have a super-reliable Q->E combo when fighting midlane
Also creates a bit of a counter to Garrosh in summoner heroes.
More old gifs pls

Garrosh is fun as fuck.
I don't know how much of a main tank he'll be, even with high armor he seems to sort of melt, but he's fantastic at isolating people and putting them into horrible positions. Once you learn to sort of game the mark system for for targeting players, it becomes super easy to lob someone into your forts or team, even when they're standing in or near a mob.

Quick match making less mirror matches is great. I always hated how often that happened.

5 stacks should only play 5 stacks.
Also Garrosh toss into Xul root is evil.

Garrosh toss into Zeratul VP, into Mosh Pit, into Ring of Frost, into acenstraled by Rehgar, into Gravo bomb, into Sulfuras Smash, into Octo Grab, into Apocalypse stun, into Abathur slap..... revived by Auriel
The opposite of this is also really nice. (Throwing your Uther into their back line)
Varian with smash just ruins Garrosh.

Ewww I don't think so, would completely ruin that talent.
Hm maybe, i just feel like it's nuts to have two tosses. Like u toss in a hard cc, guarantees a q/e followup and there is very little counterplay. But for sure it's more fun to have them on separate cds
The armor duration is pretty long too, like you can legit just use the toss to buff a hero. You get lvl 13 illidan with 50% armor with toss and thats not counting any love from bw or uther

Garrosh' W talent at 4 is way too good you're just instakilling waves later into the game.

I still haven't found a counter to Garrosh outside of being a ranged hero, lateral movement to avoid the pull and/or having decent positioning. So far I don't mind being Dehaka versus Garrosh but most Garrosh comps I've run into go for toss into root versus hard stuns. You can burrow and regen to dodge some of the follow-up and stand a decent chance, pre-16, of escaping. Once you get Burrowing Claws you can escape most, if not all, toss/root wombos.

Garrosh has terrible engage and chase. He's great at peeling but lacking in damage and is not particularly tanky.

Stop attacking his home.
You and I both know he deserves it
the trick seems to just be range awareness yeah, and decisiveness i guess. i didnt play againt him a lot but stepping forward during his cast usually worked, but that's not really something you want to be doing too much of I'd think, since garrosh will just catch on and walk up and throw you
But that's what you're supposed to do! It's lore-consistent!

The Thrall rework does not seem to have been much of a success. He's better (i think?) but still I don't see much of a reason to pick him.14 new empty slots on the character screen
eek, xp without stimpack ;_;
Stukov is fun, Thrall is not. I really continue to dislike Thrall :/

When I play zagara or murky in QM, I often get top hero damage and top siege damage. One time I had like 16 killing blows as murky.

I love the changes to Butcher, it always felt so weird laning for such a long time with him.

Yeah, it's just ranged. Chromie chunks him, so does Li Ming. Just need to focus on hitting the big hits when he's low, because he refuses to die sometimes.
Plus, as mentioned in his spotlight video, his trait doesn't reduce damage of percentage-based damage. So if you're looking for melee characters that can counter Garrosh, Malthael and Leoric are easy choices.
