How to level up fast with the 2015 Compendium c.q. is there any connection between coins and leveling?

Solution 1:

As of now there simply isn't any other way.

Last year's compendium had a few ways of leveling up your compendium through daily hero challenges and what not.

The community has launched somewhat of an outcry towards Valve in hopes of having a few ways of leveling up your compendium that doesn't include spending more money.

Give it a few days and you might see more ways of increasing your compendium level.
