What should a veteran player do with gold before 2.0 comes out
What exactly should I do with my gold, I have 24k banked up so I could purchase some master skins I really like?
Purchase heroes? or just leave it

Can you get skins for heroes you don't own in the chests? Because I might buy Leoric in case his legendary skin drops.

Loot box drops aren't limited by anything, except certain seasonal items (Halloween, Christmas etc.). So yes, you can get a tint of Leoric's legendary skin in one of the boxes.

Is there a Master skin you really like that you definitely are gonna use more than just one tint of? Then buy it now. Unless you are content hoping for RNG to bless you or want to save up the shards.
Otherwise, I'd save the gold for rerolls. I went ahead and bought 5 Master skins recently, but that still left me with 70k gold, which should be more than enough for the chests that we will receive once 2.0 rolls out. Three rerolls in a row cost you 1.5k gold. 24k gold allow you to fully reroll 16 chests.
So whether you want that skin or whether you hope for better rolls with your chest is up to you. Keep in mind that you don't need to open all of your chests at once. So even if you are lacking gold currently to reroll all your chests, you can just save up a bit and then open the chests later.

I only have two heroes over 10 but honestly i'm just not into cosmetics that much, i have enough cool mounts from events and ranked so I might just save it for more heroes

Good then. I'd still wait until 2.0 actually launches because as far as I remember, we will get another "program" and/or another Nexus Challenge announced in the next weeks. Chests will also give heroes occasionally, so you also have a chance to get heroes with your chest rerolls.

We are going to get an overwatch tie in quest again 100%
they can't change the loot system making it similar to overwatch without trying to convert some of the players over to HOTS

I'm keeping some gold for rerolls on the first chests (17000 gold are enough to reroll each of the 70 chests you'll get once) and using the rest to buy heroes.

Personally, I think I'm at least going to do it with Veteran chests to be sure to get something really awesome, and consider it for Epics.
On the other hand, I got 100.000+ gold, and own 47/65 heroes, so... yeah. I'm just a bit sad that the value of gold is going to be a bit harder to measure.
how do you have that much gold....
how many games do you even have!!!!!!! I have 928 right now from just after beta
Quests, events, brawls... not spending too much of it on Heroes (yes, I've used a bit of real money). It adds up quickly!
That's it? I'm over 2k just after launch and I'm super casual. Seen people with like 4k+ and I'm sure even that could be low.
mainly a ranked player, so I get burnt out pretty quickly
