I had this exact same theme of idea for a garrosh rework. Return the pull and swap decimate and wrecking ball would reduce a lot of his annoying presence but increase his bruiser hero fantasy

I think you did a great job here! This would be a nice change for Garrosh. Swapping Wrecking Ball and Decimate is the key feature. With Decimate added to basic abilities, Garrosh could deal quite some damage. More importantly, if you happen to use Wrecking Ball on an enemy hero (especially in first few minutes of the game), that hero would be as good as dead. As a heroic, those early game advantages are traded for more damage which I think is good. Both Death Wish and Wrecking Ball are CC/utility abilities and by denying Garrosh from attaining both, he would be more balanced. Of course, Groundbreaker now pulls back targets once again and this is a nice trade for loosing Wrecking Ball from early game. A great feature is that Wrecking Ball targets HEROES only. I believe Blizzard will eventually make these changes to Garrosh no doubt!
