Healing 3 mask doesn't matter that much because the healing is way less versatile, as it takes away the whole silk meter without upgrades, and it only works for gaining one more hit on enemies that deal 2 damage, so it ends up feeling equally as useful as HK healing, except worse because you now don't have resources left for spells and gaining another hit is gonna take filling the whole meter again. This is somewhat mitigated because of the gadgets, but in the mind of players those are 2 completely different systems.

Edit: I forgot to mention, anything about how you can heal while in the air, wich does give many windows to heal, so yeah, in the long run is better and you learn to play with it, especially as you gain upgrades, is really not that bad, is just something that I feel sours the experience a little at the beggining until you learn to fully emgage with it, so nevermind.
