Of course they haven't changed. I still get jack shit in mine.
and nobody is surprised as we still get "white, white, blue, white" boxes
When is that Chinese legislation requiring the drop rates for loot boxes/crates in games to be public knowledge going into effect again? I'd really like to know what the actual drop rates are. As for my take on it, after opening probably more than 50 boxes during the Year of the Rooster event, I got practically every skin except the ones I wanted (legendary skins for both Mei and D.Va). And after all that, despite the shit load of dupes I got, I never got enough credits for one legendary. Really makes me wish you could somehow trade skins with friends, as my friend who absolutely hates Mei and D.Va got those skins multiple times.
I don't believe for a second they haven't tampered with the drop rates. During pre-release Open Beta I gathered quite a nice collection of legendaries and nice skins I desired for most of the heroes, of course that would be wiped. Now the you get 5 loot boxes of sprays, voice lines and player icons and maybe, just maybe if RNG lines up, you get something worth more on the 6th box.

Especially due to things like sprays. So naturally, since the themed loot boxes contain every item outside of its event (excluding the other items tied to other events), the chances are only going to grow more and more slim as more and more items get added.
legendary money during events will never not piss me off 'here's 500 coins so you can grind up to that 3000 for one of our event skins' Now if there was event legendary money at 1.5 (3x, as with event skins), I can settle for that
I hate that Legendary-event skins, are only worth 200coins as a dupe. Bumping up the price 3x, but not the dupe-reward. Should be dropping 600coins.
