I know I'd need more supports for sure (I like Rehgar), I also liked playing Jaina and Zeratul.
Getting characters you like is never a bad investment. Partially it depends on are you spending real money or gold, and how much you have to spend.
One of the best values for spending real money is the Heroes of the Storm starter pack available at Amazon.com, Gamestop and other retailers.
For $19.99 you get
•Five Heroes: Sonya – Warrior, Zeratul – Assassin, Zagara – Specialist, Li Li – Support, and Jaina – Assassin
•Ronin Zeratul Skin
•Retail Exclusive Golden Tiger Mount
Also unless they fixed it in the last week, registering the Ronin Zeratul skin will unlock Zeratul too, meaning you can give away or sell the plain Zeratul unlock key. Even though you already have Zagara, you get a code for her so you could sell it or give it to a friend too.
That plus the Raynor/Malfurion/Muradin Starter bundle for $4.99 gives you 7 new heroes for $25 to go with what you already have and an extra copy of zeratul and zagara to give away or sell.
It's a good idea to have 2 warrior and support choices that are competitive in case no one else on your team picks one. That way you reduce the chance that the other team already picked the only one you have.
If you are just spending gold, then Malfurion and Muradin for 2k each is a great value. All 3 you enjoy playing are considered good picks so I don't think you will have any buyers remorse with any of them. Get those, then look for other suggestions. Be sure to play all the heroes each week that are free to try them out. Leveling them to 5 for the 500 gold is also generally worth while.

I can confirm that as of last thursday the ronin zeratul skin also unlocks zeratul when purchased in that starter pack.

Wow, played as Tyrande for the first time in a while last night. Didn't realize she is such a hard counter to the butcher--- since he's in a large portion of my QM's these days, I got a 5 game winning streak easily as I practically negated him entirely. It's super easy to land the E stun on the end of his charge, and the followup mark on him means he just disintegrates first thing in the fight.
One butcher wised up and kind of just lurked at the back of the team fights instead of charging in, but that meant he practically did nothing.

OMG, we just played an all support troll comp and just wrecked, laughing all the way. Here's the build:
Lili - pure healer, play normally
Malfurion - also play normally (mule)
Tassadar - psi storm spec and archon (mule)
Tyrande - moonfire spec
Rhegar - dmg spec and *bloodlust*
In teamfight we almost literally could not die, whoever got focused got healed, shielded, and then lili/malf ults and we all just stay alive while bloodlust/archon/psi storm/hunter mark kill off a couple of them and the rest run from our full health team. It was a bit tricky in the beginning when we had no mana because nobody could take regen talent, but after that it was hilariously awesome. We all were saying "we can't believe this is working" but there was no denying it was working. We added the nova on the other team and he said he was just laughing every team fight as we won again and again, but he also said one of his teammates almost rage quit.
Probably not viable competitively because you can counter pick it but man it is SO much fun in quick match.
edit: also with double mule our buildings stayed up forever too. man that was so fun.

3 assasins(burst) + 2 warriors(stun) would usually dominate against 5 supports. Imagine what kind of comp the other team had? Nova and 4 specialists?

Or just go with 5 Specialists and destroy their forts before the first objective pops up on any map lol.

What is the best Anub build after his nerfs? He seems pretty weak now, with his ulti being almost useless...

As I said, it was QM, so it's not like they could customize their team to beat 5 supports, 3 assassins and 2 warriors is not really the current meta either...
Their team was Diablo, Nova, Malfurion, Tassadar, Zagara
Final kills was 28 to 8.
edit: Also I love how I said it wasn't viable competitively because you could counterpick against it, and 2 of the next 3 posts are about counterpicks.

since it as QM, it was one support atleast I guess and it wasn't malf (twilight dream).
I would imagine to many melee assassins/warriors and no specialists. (Healers with an exp advantage are to good)
edit: wtf a Zagara and Malf ? x.x okay Tassadar could have stopped Zagara. But lol
Also the treasure goblin is killing my passion. Log in every day or lose 100 gold.
Passion restored I hit 4 key maws in a row XD (yeah yeah we had kael and after level 16 the game turned 180 from 3 levels behind)

It's no wonder really. Tyrael has damage despite being warrior as does Muradin with haymaker and Anub'arak with beetle/locust. It counters so many team compositions that rely on burst and you don't really sacrifice any damage..

Actually, you do sacrifice quite a bit of damage picking Muradin (at least until 13/16) and Tyrael over ranged assassins.
The reason why double warrior comps are making a comeback has everything to do with the prevalence of teams building around burst assassin comps (especially Jaina/Kael) instead of AA-centric comps. Warriors, unlike assassins, can easily survive big burst combos and then proceed to maul the enemy back line. What we're going to see (eventually) is teams responding to these warrior-centric compositions with more AA/giant killer comps. Tychus will be back in a big way sooner rather than later.

Wouldn't the double tanks just take imposing presence? Or is that ineffective at countering AA'rs with giant killer?

for AA to work again, they need to nerf Muradin though, he can force imposing on you even if you don't attack him. But I think pro teams already forgot why AA stopped being used. They should give Nova a special giant slayer at 4, so she can do huge damage against tanks. Like Zeratul is good at everything, Nova should be good at killing everything.
Seeing more Zagara again as well in pro games and she always can grab giant slayer and be the worst nightmare of any tank. Even for a Muradin. But its nice if the meta is schifting, because you see alot more different things. Like Arthas being the new Sylvanas, since Sylvanas lost all her burst talents.

The muradin Q-build with haymaker and burning rage does quite a lot of damage. Granted it isn't ranged assassin level, it's still very potent and offers high burst potential to your team (same with tyrael and anub).
