To break even on extra gold gain vs just buying the heroes, you'd need (by my calculations) to play ~4.5 games a day for that period. And that's assuming you are buying the heroes at full price.
Basically it's 150% extra gold, so an extra 37.5 gold per game on average.
For a $10/10k gold hero, it's $1 = 1k gold so $60 = 60k gold.
60k/37.5 = 1600 games to make that much gold.
1600/360 = 4.44 games per day.
Given you can buy every hero at half that price right now, I think the deal actually gets worse on the gold front.

I mean, in theory you'd be using it to buy future heroes which are currently not on sale. If it was just a little better I'd probably consider it worth it since I usually play 3+ games a day on average.
Also, apparently I'm really terrible at this game. Jesus Christ I can't get a win. All losses with Ducks and Ubel last night, and all losses so far solo tonight. I haven't won in three days.

If you really want to pare the list down I'd take off Super Sonya. The design is really cool but it screws up her walk animation bad. Just take it into try mode and look at how she walks, it's really weird and disorienting.
I would say get Mecha Tassadar and Infested Tychus for sure. Also the Purifier Artanis.
The first two because they rarely go on sale, and when they have in the past they've only been 25% off. It could be a long time before we see a price that low.
Purifier Artanis simply because he just came out - doubt that skin will hit the weekly sale any time soon.

It's actually exactly the same and why I didn't buy super sonya the first time around. It's just her long hair and kilt thing covers up the weird parts of her animation with her normal skin.

Funny animation or not (which is actually the same as her base skin, this one just accentuates different areas of articulation), it's Liefeld Sonya. For a guy who cut his teeth on serious comic book collecting in the 90's, this skin hits me square in the nostalgia feels. I love it.
50% off a stimpack doesn't even compete with a full-priced hero except for some value via the XP boost. With heroes being half off as well...then yeah.
If you own all heroes and have no desire for skins, then the stimpack is a pretty good deal if you have plenty of heroes to get 9 on.
Maybe the statement should be amended to: Stimpacks are worth it if you're already a whale or an extremely hardcore, 3+ hours every day player (i.e., Twitch streamer). If you do not exhibit either of these tendencies, do not buy a stimpack.
Bought Chen for gold, bought warmaster skin for like $4, rocked Warmaster Chen in QM with PA peeps...
What an awesome hero... SO MUCH FUN. That feeling I get when I'm being harassed to shit by an enemy Chen, it's nice to be on the other side of that equation.

And Pressure Points is fantastic.
Pressure Point + Upgraded Purifier Beam = hilarious
Yeah I bought the stim pack... I had hoped it'd be $10 cheaper (honestly, at $120 MSRP it's the same price as just buying monthly stims so I don't get it unless they created it only for this sale and then it goes away). Also bought some skins... Will probably buy some more. Oh and the winter pack! Yay, Frosty!
I still can't believe they went the lazy route with the Sgt. Doomhammer skin. No orc talks like that. It needs actual replacement voices.
She used to have a orc voice a really faked orc voice when it first came out
I assume they are gonna replace that with something better now cause at the moment it seems to be the exact same as the normal skin. And as you say, it didn't used to be that way.
It has the worst snowballing out of any map BY FAR. If you fall behind at all, fucking guess what, you're done. Enemy team can just keep exp advantage and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
Aside from snowballing, it also just feels... bleh. You're just so confined in what you can do.
I played it and it really is something I did not expect to see in HOTS bring the class not the player
As Nova was just bulldozed over and over
I probably would be better off playing with Sonya in it
Man I with brightwing had better skins. I might end up with monarch just to have something, but it's a shame her newest skin is totally weird and not at all brightwing.
removing her vo is removing the best part about brightwing!
I want them to stop EVERYTHING and devote 100% of whatever resources they can to the fucking matchmaker because I am completely over this unfinished piece of shit

I did get Flying Monkey Brightwing and Mad Martian Gazlowe though because of course I had to.
Stimpacks are never worth it.

In terms of raw gold?

Hmm, what to prioritize....
I've only ever played Falstad to lvl 5 for the gold, but I really like that new pirate costume of his. Is he good and fun?

Purifier Artanis
Warmaster Chen
Lurkablo Diablo
Mad Martian Gazlowe
Sgt Doomhammer
Super Sonya
Mecha Tassadar
Earthbreaker Thrall
Infested Tychus
Gotta pare this list down.
Also, apparently I'm really terrible at this game. Jesus Christ I can't get a win. All losses with Ducks and Ubel last night, and all losses so far solo tonight. I haven't won in three days.
I mean, I'd get the stim pack AND buy half price heroes now.
It sounds worth it?
I mean, a full year which lets me get all future heroes leveled quickly? sounds good?

It's worth it to me because I'm a whore for master skins, the only items you can not buy for cash money.
So I have to take in leveling the heroes to 10 and farming 10K for the purchase price.

Also it's still showing my give cho'gall quest, is that a display error, because the bar is maxed out
Mines been doing that since the first time I relogged after completing the "Get Cho'gall" quest. Doesn't seem to cause any harm.
It's $80 after the exchange rate which is just goddamn nuts.
I was hoping with the "deeply discounted" statement that we were gonna see it down to at least $45.

nah, I'm pretty sure it's all preorders of whatever edition
void speeder is delux
All purchases of whatever edition. I bought Void after it was released and still got Artanis for it.
Well for a year's time for extra exp and gold and that exp does help in the grind to 10 and above so....

Got Cursed Hallow twice and Dragon Shire Twice.
Guess that's working as intended.
