I personally believe the difficulty of conquest is fine, however I find the amount of time conquest takes has gone up significantly. This makes it really unenjoyable for me. Things that require you to play 20 matches to complete with a specific team comp is a but much.
Conquest has easily turned into a 2-3 hour a day task if you are trying to get a Red Crate with a subpar roster.
With the trend of conquest characters not being useable until 6 months+ after you get them, I am starting to question is it worth it. I am not talking about in-game "worth" I am talking about the opportunity cost of doing other things vs 2-3 hours a day grinding conquest.
