Huh, neat. I've only played the RTS WarCraft games, and from what little I know of World of WarCraft they mostly seem to just recycle characters from the RTS for expansion bosses - Illidan, Arthas, Deathwing, Grom, Gul'dan - so Garrosh appears to be one of the very few new characters to the MMO to actually have an interesting story behind him.

Looks like Thrall with an axe instead of a hammer

Just like Malth's ult is a foggy Maelstrom :p. Seems to be some reuse of different assets.

Garrosh is also the base warrior hero in hearthstone.
He was supposed to take Thralls place as leader of the horde, but he was disliked enough for Blizzard to axe him heh.

I hope they bring out his Hearthstone traits. Which is armor up and pray to the rng gods to win. My hate for him is unending thanks to Hearthstone.

Dont think they could reuse alot from Thrall, as the models are highly different.

You can tell they wanted to focus on his armor aspect by giving the character model gigantic ass shoulder pads and a dull axe lol.

I just hope he yells a lot. He at least needs to outscream Colossus Smash Varian, the Horde is uncharacteristically quiet in Heroes of the Storm.

EDIT: Also, I've mentioned how funny it is that there are four Orcs in the game and none of them are Warriors, so if Garrosh ends up being a melee Assassin, that'll be hilarious.

So close to the All Orc Team... and the All Protoss Team, and the All Terran team, and we're getting nearer to that All Angel team.

I wanna see a tournament with theme-teams.

You can have an angel team with Valla, Auriel, Malthael, Tyrael and Diablo using the right skins. And there is an orc skin for Hammer. All Terran team would be Raynor, Tychus, Morales, Hammer and Nova. (or Rexxar with Terran skin)

Now that we have Stukov, you can make a full team out of all the StarCraft races.

Terran: Lt. Morales, Nova, Raynor, Sgt. Hammer, Tychus
Protoss: Alarak, Artanis, Probius, Tassadar, Zeratul
Zerg: Abathur, Dehaka, Kerrigan, Stukov, Zagara

They're not necessarily great teams though

.

EDIT: If we get two of Vol'jin, Doomhammer, Ner'zhul or Blackhand, we'll also be able to make an all-Warchief of the Horde team. That position seems to have a lot of turnover

I would love to see a tournament do a funsy match where you have to keep your picks all within one game. Would be pretty funny, though WC at a marked advantage numbers wise

I mostly mean a proper functional team that has at least one Tank/Healer, cause sure you can do the Terran team but it hardly feels right with four DPS.

I even have a real hard time accepting current Tassadar as a proper support for Protoss, especially considering how he was pre-rework... Doubt Protoss'll be getting any proper supports any time soon, or even at all potentially.

Also I never count skins because I CRAVE authenticity.
