I'm running a minimum of 3 battlegrounds to create one of these things (2 if I'm lucky with the rune), which is around 20mins with a solid group. In what universe is 20mins for an extremely subpar roll of any armor worth it compared to just running 3x dungeon CPs, DSC, or even the GMNF?
I think umbrals need to be revisited before you throw them into our face again. The last time umbrals existed, they were amazing for farming rolls and getting gear with a reasonable effort. You've simply made it a boring slog of laggy, teleporting enemies and (if not heavyweight) bullet sponge bosses that can one-stomp you depending on the singe.
Community, please do your thing and get Bungie to hear us on loot issues. We did it for Trials and GMNFs getting adept weapons/mods, let's fix the rest. Maybe we'll get old umbrals back in 2 years!

I'm probably going to focus tier 3 once for the challenge and not give it a second look unless I see something change in the drops. I don't even give sub-60 armor a second look anymore because it's just not worth it for any kind of build. So I honestly don't get how Bungie could possibly consider it "high stat" armor. They quite frankly need to loosen up and accept the fact that being stingy with item drops does not make for a fun "reward" experience.
