Is your feature request related to a problem?

Newer players get misled or baited into bad builds because of this metric thats misleading at best in isolation. It certainly does more harm than good to newer players. And if you’re experienced and knowledgeable enough about the game to decipher the number then you should be more than capable of gleaning into each of the three aspects of mitigation, avoidance and recovery separately on your own without an ehp value.

Here are some examples of people basically getting griefed:
