I think the trick is to now just NOT level any hero from 8->9 since you want to save the Hero Chest. Level heroes under 8 to 8, heroes over 8 you can keep playing.
Gul'dan beats Xul there, especially early game. There was a McIntyre video not all that long ago where he found that out the hard way. Thought he could take him 1v1 and died.
You can use this one. It has been updated to keep up with the changes in info.
This is quite a nice change and I'm ok with it. I'm honestly surprised by the measured response from them. April 25th can't some soon to HotS land honestly but just doing a quick glance at the bug report section of the forum it'll need some more baking to be completely ready.
Edit: Forgot to mention that yes that Leoric skin concept is still one of the best fan design out there.
I still wouldn't level any hero 1-5 if you have them cause those are easy boxes post patch. 1-7 is honestly from what I've seen on PTR.
So what are we assuming the "Launch Event" on April 18th is? (http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/heroes20/)
There's an "Event" and "Nexus Challenge 2.0" on April 25th...but why does it say "Launch Event" for April 18th? Shouldn't "Launch Event" be for 2.0?

It's the announcement of the launch event.
Yeah, the special rare drops like Blizzcon mounts for sure won't be craftable, they'll just be a nice RNG event.
That I don't know. I do know that on PTR, Cheerleader Kerrigan from Dorm is craftable and it's only an epic skin. Based on the podcasts I've listened to, seasonal loot boxes will be a thing but will be like Overwatch has been recently - you can craft anything in a seasonal box, but the cost will be doubled and you can only do so while an event is ongoing.
As for the Blizzcon/Nexus mounts and stuff, Milly and I tried this out. Some things I have from Blizzcon/other promotions and he doesn't, and none of those things were showing up in his collection as things he could craft so that's probably a no. There is one catch to that, however...
Bakery opened his PTR loot boxes and received the Gold Club World Championships golden horse mount in a box, and that was a promotion that was only given away at Gold Club in China this past December (or whenever it was). So apparently you can ACQUIRE these promotional items in boxes, but you can't CRAFT them.
I feel like this could change quickly once it goes live or could apply to only a very very few promotional items. It might even be unintended (them dropping from loot boxes at all I mean).
We both had that one so I don't know. You'd have to hop on PTR and see if it shows up if you don't have it to find out.
I've heard Prime Evil was loot box exclusive but thinking back, I crafted it myself on PTR so it isn't exactly loot box exclusive. I think it was meant more in the "won't be put up for purchase via gems" type of loot box exclusivity.
There's probably no way you're gonna eke out 30 more levels in the time you have left by leveling high level heroes. It would take you getting 6 heroes from level 9 to 10 at the easiest. Not sure it's worth it, plus what you'd lose out in equivalent experience just to get that one legendary (basically 30 levels worth of exp/30 loot boxes in 2.0).
Also, I'm looking at your account. Pretty sure your calculator is wrong too. You are level 412 on live. There's no way you can go backwards because everything 1-8 is still worth the same. Everything 9+ is worth more. You have 4 level 9's and 1 level 10. 4 level 9's gets you an extra 8 levels, and 1 level 10 gets you an extra 5 levels.
You should move forward 13 levels, not backwards 42 levels. You should already be over level 400 anyway. I think that calculator left out the same thing that the one Ketch found did.
This seems to work quite well and not require the maths you're talking about:

Aren't we at 65 heroes now today? EDIT: Yeah, Cassia makes 65. Maledict's sheet shows it too.
I just did your sheet. After inputting my data, it shows me at account level 625 (I'm actually 624) and my new total will be 902, getting all 55 epic boxes and 9 veteran boxes, plus the 5 common boxes for a total of 69.
I think Maledict's sheet here is as close as we're gonna get. It still doesn't jive by the math I added up (I got 922, for example), but it's at least not shorting people.
EDIT: Scratch that. It's also showing Kioshen going backwards. I think the way I suggested to do it is your best bet and it's not hard to do either.

You should make sure that your current levels = 2.0 levels is estimated correctly first. If you used one of those other sheets it's likely wrong.

Then I'm at account level 399. Seeing as how Sylv is almost to another level and Lucio is still level 1 (since I went to play console games after getting him) methinks it should be easy to secure.
Edit: But this calculator says my current level in my profile should say 422 but it says 417.
Am I good if they're one game away from getting level 9? Murky and Alarak are both right there.
Yeah I think you're past the breakpoint already.

So my Hero lvl right now is 391. I have 1x 12 1x 11 1x 10 and 6 9s.
Which just means I'm over 400 and I'm good.

The calculator is right. I have a bunch of heroes that are level 7 and below that are going backwards because of the scaling changes. Level 1 to 7 is really not the same amount of XP anymore. If you look at the progression video you can see that the start of the curse is steeper than 1.0. So all those low leveled heroes actually are going backwards.
No. No heroes go backwards. At all. No one loses any levels. If you have a 4 now, it stays a 4, even though the curve has changed. That's in the blog post and the video IIRC.
EDIT: From the initial post breaking down 2.0:
Blizzard said:
As I said, level 1-8 stays the same. Level 9+ adds more levels, so there is no fucking way for you to go backwards.
Like I said in chat, I skipped over that part where they said heroes wouldn't go backward. I thought that collectively reddit would at least get one spreadsheet right but I was sorely mistaken it seems. So I'm over 400 levels so that's fine by me. Will just practice mechanics until then I suppose.

Finally got Magni Muradin. I literally played him to level 8 just to get 3rd tint of his base skin, but the horns on his helmet always looked stupid to me.
Also grabbed the Li-Ming skin. What is her design influenced by? The second tint definitely reminds me of Enchantress overall, yet also a color-inverse Starfire. 3rd tint vaguely recalls the old Jem cartoon. 1st tint should be the most obvious "reference" but it doesn't ring any bells.

....she is the one named Sailor Moon?

I haven't responded to a single thing you've said, I'm not sure we are arguing so much as you're kind of just yelling at a wall.
Has it really been 3 weeks since Probius? Fuck time flies. I am debating if I should bother buying her or just wait to inevitably get her out of one of my 65 loot boxes.
I'm saving my gold for rerolls. Probably gonna get all my missing heroes from boxes. *crosses fingers*
