Receiving player and hero level 2 rewards on higher levels

Every so often after playing a game, the post-game screen suggests I just reached Player Level 2, receiving the corresponding 1000 gold reward. However, I am actually level 25. A similar thing is going on for my hero: I get level 2 rewards even though my Diablo is level 4. Is this a bug? Or am I missing some kind of feature?

Here's a screenshot of such a post-game situation:

And here's a screenshot of my Player Progression right after that:

As you can see, I am still level 25, have not just levelled nor am I about to (or would I get any reward if I would). Strange thing is (and I'm not complaining): it seems I get to keep the gold.

And like I mentioned, same thing happens for my hero. That is, post-game tells me I reached level 2, but right afterward I can see on my profile that he's in fact level 4:

This happened to me on more than one occasion (about three or four times now, I think).

Is this a bug? Or am I missing something?

How does player level work in hots?

The Player Level is the sum of all Hero Levels earned beyond 1, so if a player has five heroes at level five, player level will be 20 (i.e. not counting level one, so 5 heroes times 4 levels each).

How do I increase my player level in Heroes of the Storm?

The first, and most effective, way to gain experience (XP) quickly is to party up with a friend who also plays Heroes of the Storm. By playing in a group, you'll be granted a 50% XP bonus after each game, whether you win or lose, which is a massive spike and definitely worth it.
