The gold isn't a good enough reason alone to get a hero to level 5 (that is fast; just from 4 to 5 it takes some 7 games, that's also nothing).
But one needs some experience of more heroes. I leveled up to 5 or more about half of the heroes by level 40 total, the ones being any good, imo.
I think only about 14 (that one in theory needs) are good, and most of them have some serious weakness. I take at least half of those seriously and will get them to high level of competence.
I prefer Arthas(W), Sonya(W), Leoric(W), Tassadar("S"), Kaelthas(A), Li-Ming(A), Sylvanas(A)(not bought yet). Bought these by level 40 and no reason not to have these in the collection (see Wch Youtube, read at battle.net, and test run them).
I have an idea of the other 7-9 that I will be using if I have to, and 4 of them still need to test run, and at least one of them has top strong basic powers.
Many heroes have strong combos; you can sometimes succeed to kill a hero after a hero and that power doesn't show in numbers but is in the combos, like when facing many heroes, it more like multiplies than adds the damage, but from most part I prefer e.g. clearly strong basic powers and hope for a strong hero power/ability. It is also preferable to not be a sitting duck with warriors. Some heroes are easy to play and in many cases I have them as 8-14, that I can as so play more easily if I have to.
