Player Levels have functionally ceased to exist you no longer increase your Player Level separately. Every time you level up a character, you’ll receive a Loot Chest, which we’ll outline in detail below.
Heroes 2.0 both accelerates how quickly players level up and introduces a new reward system. Afterwards, there were precious few rewards for leveling - and what few rewards existed quickly dried up. Early levels were used as a hand-holding mechanic, blocking off features or talent sets until you grew more accustomed to the game.
Previously in Heroes of the Storm, the progression system hit a dead end early on. Everything included in Heroes 2.0 is built upon the new leveling system.
