Good call on the HP vs TE badge. It's a crutch but often a necessity for me to get anywhere, I should learn to lose it.
New patch is out. 3p is go along with awoken heroes and Revo 3k.
I still rely on the time badge crutch for most of my teams, I'll always find the extra time and making sure I get the combo over the few times i need that minor amount of HP. I do switch to HP when there's a specific threshold or need to tank a hit or two.
I compare practicing with the HP badge like when you swing a baseball bat with a weight on the end as warm up, then when you take it off the same bat feels so much lighter. When I go back to TE from HP it feels like an eternity to move.
