If you always play with a +1 purple boost, okay, 4/4/5 is better than 5/3/5 in speed, but unboosted 4/4/5 makes no sense compared to 5/3/5

I mean one more match to get the required amount does not seem like that big a deal, however whenever I encounter a 5 purple black widow it is an easy prey since I can stalk and deny it so much better... Should I be changing? If so - where should I subtract? I love both the healing and the double dipping damage of oBW... she actually does tank all the 3 of her colour for me and whenever there are some strike tiles she starts to do serious mayhem...
