Return of Reckoning

Love the introduction of competitive gear that makes playing competitive worth it. However, after queuing the entire weekend (Friday afternoon-Sun) whenever I had the downtime (no city, etc.), I'm was not able to play 5 solo queue ranked games let alone win them all. Ranked queues not popping at certain times is a known issue. However, because of this, I think the BIS item should last 7 days instead of 3. Most NA players (predominantly DPS) will have a tough time managing to grind that many SCs at this point.

Not the end of the world either way - just seems difficult to make the pitch to grind a 3 day item when it takes longer than 3 days to get the item (e.g. limited up time). Also could just be my experience here as an NA DPS, unsure since I can't see the stats/pop numbers overtime.

Update, to be clear if for some reason it wasn't:

A 3 day event item where you can't get 5 pops in 3 days does nothing to solve it. The pops are the problem at the root - but that isn't being fixed anytime soon it seems, hence the extension of duration. If I could get 3 pops in one day, I wouldn't have even made this post.

For reference:
"New powerful 3 day duration event slot items have been added for a cost of between 75 and 125 Triumphant Emblems depending on your MMR (approximately 5 scenario wins). These items have twice the stats of the regular weekend warfront event slot items. So in total 25 extra stat points and +1 crit. These items are best in slot items that are only available through ranked scenarios."

Not a good idea, the item gives you a big buff and 3 days is plenty of time to feel its power.

I mean if they increase the duration they gonna increase the cost too, whats gonna be the difference?

No need to increase cost. Literal point is to keep it the same.

I feel like thats gonna be a bit too easy, there's a weekly bonus that gives you a fair amount of tokens, even if you can't get enough from matches the weekly reward will probably give enough to buy 2

We may hope for more reasons for people to Q for ranked rather than other SCs in season 2.

Agreed.

I dont think this is meant to be a perma item.
