Are you nuts? 5/5/3 all the way! For PVP, M40 is a vicious giant killer, great for tackling teams with one powerful hero and other vastly weaker heros. Paired with The Hood to quicken his recharges and waiting out the stun, the entire enemy team can be wiped out. Despite the drawbacks, they are stlll two of the most damaging attacks in game outside of Legendaries especially if you get Salvo to hit 3 an entire enemy team. And with lv5 Dormammu's Aid (steals all colors of AP passively depending on board) on Hood to steal endless AP for stalling turns, it makes the burn suck less.

Add in Grey Suit Widow with Deceptive Tactics (generates green) and Sniper Rifle (lv5 hits all enemies) to cover your Purple and Green (which is generated by lv3 Recharge), and you get a heavy offensive clean up team that can clear out the enemy before they can do any serious damage. Not to mention Widow's Pistol can provide a weak situational substitute for Unibeam if it's too costly to use to pick off a weakened opponent.

With the new Versus season setup, I wouldn't be surprised if this grouping becomes a high tier staple, mixed in with some Stockpile boosts to pad Alliance ranks in Shield Simulator.
