I would now generally recommend to pick the free bundle (that one now gets) with 20 assassins for the region one is at, and the "warriors" bundle for the 2nd most important region, and the "supports" bundle for the 3rd region. Those bundles cover about all heroes and that is the general order of their importance. The (base) skins and mounts now come more or less as a bonus.
The total level (at 2.0) is now 200 instead of 40, as I had over 200 and got only 200 as the total level. It has no practical difference. When playing at other regions, (possibly) not getting in your games with a too low total level, so in the longer run one likely buys some of them to use in one's main region, but at least one now gets to play any hero one wants any time one wants without buying them.
The gold might (if one doesn't buy skins and mounts directly instead) for a start (for 1.0 players) now be going for running the "loot" boxes again -- more often than not getting nothing again. I got 3 good mounts, and some better or so skins for many of the top 5-12 heroes I play. I got skins for many heroes also I don't play, and especially Muradin (that was one of the three heroes I don't use now that I got free for no reason at all here) got many top skins.
I am only more or less happy to my Arthas (a (now meaningless) master skin, I think, that I got from a loot box, plus a top and fitting mount (can be used with any hero), though Arthas' skin is here pretty colour pale) and Jaina (the best I got and I am happy to have it) skin. Though I have funny ones also, like the half-naked Tychus, and Sonya (and Muradin) is Legendary but a bit too massive (and not my colour(s)) for my skills.
My top 4 heroes still have the same skins and mounts I had before. I used all my 5k gold to rerun loot boxes (I had like 20 total of them, plus the reruns). The few or so higher level boxes might be the best reruns but the costs are like 500 and after that 1k, that is too expensive when trying to hit one's top (4 or 14 out of the 60+) heroes with a skin (or mount) one likes, and even if getting a top skin (or a mount) there with this gamble, it is regularly not so what one prefers, though the mounts can be used with any heroes and so much more likely fit more or less somewhere.
There are also some other stuffs that might make a difference to if one reruns the box or not. With a limited amount of heroes that one might prefer to use, rerunning is less good an idea with high costs, being cheaper to buy with gold or so. In a month one gets 10k or so gold without any leveling, and so one can count that one can buy something good every month.
