My thoughts at TB difficulty after exploration

I explored the TB difficulty because i was very excited for it. First of all i am Paragon player so my thoughts comes differently than TB players.
For me it was letdown because i expected something interactive and innovative challenge. It feels like TB difficulty was pushed in hurry. It feels unpolished to me as some lanes like in mystic didn't even made sense. Then there were certain defenders as well who were placed without a thought; regarding their interaction with nodes. TBH it's cav eq with 20-30% increase in HP pools that's it.
Tho i expected more hp pool but since in TB domain there are lot of players who have 1 r3 to rosters stacked with Many r3s. For early and mid TB , it's going to be really awesome amd challenging content imo. Seems a perfect content to make them grow.
As i said , as Paragon players rewards seems kinda okish. R4 mats are good and gold was really solid but apart from that nothing excited me much. But on positive side, if i was a TB player, I would really push for exploration as those rewards are really solid for such accounts imo. But still some rewards can get some more buff like T4cc selector can be increased by 2 in each chapter, 4-5k more 6 star shards will be perfect.. that's it.
It was still quite good time killer for me as it was lengthy than cav eq not by much margin but still quite good in terms of fighting time. Will suggest to make nodes more interactive rather than placing KG on power burn path 🗿🗿🗿. But since its first eq, let's hope things change for good next time.

The nodes promote the same champs to be used all the time. This is one of the reasons why Metas like Electric Defense and Hit me I dare you can't exist.
Like you said, it feels unpolished. The nodes switch from old school Cav difficulty, to the cross charges. Which I’ve never seen before in a quest, although they might have appeared while I was away. They were just a bit wordy and difficult to understand.
Seems fun right now, I’m excited to keep going. Super excited to fight Zemo and get wrecked

TBH , TB eq actually don't even feel TB to me. it just that rewards have been buffed from cav and slight difficulty increased which is not even noticeable.
If this trend continues i would rather have permanent content with one time reward like Gauntlet rather than eq re skinned.
For Zemo use Apoc for easy time. It will be fine.
I was not expecting the to re-invent the wheel -- it is just another difficulty level with better rewards, not a new quest.
The rewards aren't that enticing, but at the same time, since it is not really difficult it doesn't warrant amazing rewards (like a Gauntlet type quest).
EQ for Paragons used to be a decent source of rank up materials for relatively low effort (Paragon objectives on Cav level difficulty). Now it is a more decent source of rank up materials for average effort. To me, the % bump in rank up materials doesn't match the greater %% bump in effort.
I’ve just done the completion as of now to complete the EQ solo event but really the TB difficulty is actually 20-30% champion boosted cav EQ; no challenge or fun at all, same old nodes and same old counters to it. don’t really enjoy exploring EQ cuz they get way to monotonous and now kabam is telling me i need to do cav EQ exploration twice🫠🫠
I really feel the whole EQ model needs a revamp, paths should be reduced, difficulty increased, rewards buffed, new interactive nodes,etc cuz the game has been going on for 8 years now and i understand they can’t change key things but some effort must be made to make it feel less monotonous and more enjoyable
I liked fighting all new Champs and defenders.
Can't say I didn't enjoy it completely, but it could be much better regarding time and energy investment.
For most things in game I most probably say that 'it's fine and I dont mind it'.
But this TB EQ is lacking in some way.
Not fine, No!
And for God's sake: Make the 100% Exploration for either Cav OR Thronebreaker difficulty; don't just take that away from Cavalier EQ players - especially since it was done without warning or announcement ahead of time. (note: this doesn't affect me, I'm Paragon with a deep roster ranked, but it was bad for "business" and goodwill of the lower players who can do only Cavalier EQ 100%)
P.S. I think the design is stupid. Cross charges should apply to either everyone or no one. But this is the way it has always been after they rolled out the tagged buff and people didn't like it for being too restrictive, and the following month they made this "tag or class based" node

As for me i don't use recoil masteries at all as it restricts half of my champs
For TB Eq , I would not recommend to use recoil masteries as it have good hp pool and using special with it can be a problem.
Cosmic is now an excellent class and hit very hard. Yet given more tags where as mystic generally dont do as much damage yet no help for them and given the most annoying nodes.
50% damage reduction is almost as annoying as the ones in Act 5. Add to that stacking weakness and more nodes that extend the fight is very boring, annoying and not in the same category of the other 5 quests which are well executed
