Hey you!Do you like being able to solo carry your games by picking any and everyone that's even the slightest bit out of position? Then you've come to the right place and locked in the right Hero.Garrosh is an excellent Hero to learn for any tanks looking to climb HL or just carry games in general. He fits into a variety of comps, is self-sufficient, and punishes enemies SUPER hard for any mistakes they do. While on the surface, the character may seem like a braindead pick machine, there's actually quite a bit of finesse to playing Garrosh.While he may be easy to play in the early phases of the game where his gameplan is quite simple, team fighting with Garrosh actually becomes much more complicated. Late game Garrosh is actually one of the more, if not the most, difficult tanks to play in the game. He has so many tools, but using them all together in ways that set up your team while avoiding death yourself can be quite the challenge, so let me help ease that burden a bit.Following after my Blaze guide, this will be split into sections:1. When/How to draft Garrosh2. Tools and kit explanation3. Build and playstyleStill with me? Then let's go--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There is much less ambiguity when you pick him then a Hero like Blaze. Garrosh's lack of waveclear really makes him struggle in offlanes, though if you're really up for it, you can take his W reset on kill and try to offlane him. This guide will not be covering that playstyle though and I don't suggest it be your first choice.For what types of compositions Garrosh fits into, truthfully, he's a lot more flexible than he initially seems. If you're not super comfortable with him, try playing him mostly with allies that have strong single target damage and are capable of killing any target you isolate. Later in the game, Heroes with strong AoE damage and disruption abilities synergize well with Garrosh's late game combo potential. Garrosh works with just about anything to be honest.Additionally, him having Into the Fray and Indomitable allow him to work as a pseudo-cleanse for your team which opens up what support options you can go with since your tank can also save people. This extra utility makes him an even safer early pick., Heroes with followup cc like Malfurion and Stukov work well in the support role. Targets that can set up traps like Chromie and Junkrat also are amazing as they can put down their traps near you and you can throw them in for super combos. Heroes like Tychus and Li-ming are great for early game as they can destroy any target you throw with single target damage and Heroes like Gul'dan and Jaina excel later when they can add area damage and disruption when you stack up enemies with taunt., Garrosh struggles the most into super long range damage that can kite him. Hanzo and Lunara are the first that come to mind in this role as they can keep him low health permanently. Malthael is also a problem, especially with Last Rites. Garrosh usually wants to stay around 1/3rd hp in teamfights to get the most value out of his trait... which plays right into Last Rite. Garrosh is functional into these Heroes if you play around them, but it's a real pain in the neck truthfully. I'd suggest avoiding them when you can.Garrosh for a long time has had to decide between sustain with the W cdr at 4 and the unstoppable at 4 to survive all-ins. With the recent changes to cooldowns though, you can get the best of both worlds with full Q build.(Tech choices are explained in the build page: https://heroeshearth.com/builds/ishb00/stomp-the-yard-garrosh-build/ )This build gives you the best all around survivability while also letting you put out some high damage numbers with the level 1 Q talent. It relies quite a bit on hitting consistent Q's to live a teamfight, but if you've watched my combo video above, you'll see how you can guarantee Q's with your E., you should look almost exclusively for pick plays, taking advantage of any enemies that overstep and working with your team to build a lead with chain picks.Garrosh can still make use of his pick playstyle, but he also excels at grouping up enemies and setting them up for wombo combos. This involves throwing enemies away on top of other enemies before landing massive Taunts.(Ha! you thought the title was just a play on "throwing games" but the direction you throw people is actually an important topic.) Throwing an enemy tank into your team when the enemy is looking to engage is an easy way to lose a game, and throwing enemies away when they're out of position is how you tilt your teammates.Do you have more team members present then the enemy team?Are you near your allied structures?Can you kill the enemy tank in 3 seconds or less?If you answered yes to any of the above questions, look to throw enemies backwards into your team. Otherwise, look to peel or set up wombo combos with throws away from your team.For the visual learners, maybe this will help:Alright, I think that's about it for now. If you still have more questions, put them below and I'll make sure to get to them when I see them. Otherwise, I'm still doing this for you guys so any feedback appreciated!I hope you enjoyed this guide and that this helps a bit for those of you struggling to learn Garrosh.Peace for now-ishb00
