The three day event had a bad timing

[R3pliC4NT]

I had read somewhere that they would run this event some time by the end of the season, but I did not expect them to just bring it out of nowhere, and worse yet, for only three days. I had completely forgotten about this. My weekend starts from Wednesday, and end on Friday. I attend college in a city far away from my home, and my laptop can never run Overwatch, which is not something I am mad about honestly since the game can easily ruin one's day. I do not care much about the glowing red box reward, but the competitive points would have been a nice boost.
Why do we have events spanning 14 or 21 days, but this **** just lasted 3?

Short answer: because of the FOMO strategy of bundling player activity in exchange for time exclusive rewards.

Long answer: because it was a test run to identify any kinks that need readjustment and to see how much Competitive is boosted during that weekend at the end of the Season, when the player count usually drops to very low numbers because of lacking incentives to play.

I'm fairly certain that the Drive event will receive some changes in the future depending on the feedback that they got.
