Since the nerf I have noticed the event is extremely easy, I have done it 4 times since update and each time we have finished with 8-15 min left. As far as champ spawns go, I still see the regular amount of pirates spawning 4-8 and then the captain. I still net roughly 20-30 exotic boxes and 10-20 rare and masterwork.
Due to the events scaling, it unfortunately puts more emphasis on zerging (bigger Zerg = more champs). Personally I enjoyed the communication needed to complete the event, rather than just giant zergs because of how easy the event is now.
