Legendary loot boxes and upon opening it he actually got a duplicate of the new Mei legendary skin, lol. He spent 50 bucks and is awarded with a duplicate. This has to be a bug in the system, right? Or do folks actually still gamble when spending a whole 50 bucks on ONE, I repeat, ONE loot box?
Please correct me if I am wrong. I feel bad for xQC.

If youâre going to spend $50 on just one lootbox, you deserve whatever you get. Thatâs just stupid.

The guy has so many levels. I donât get how he can even get a duplicate when new skins have been added.

How did he spend $50 and only get one loot box? Am I reading that right? Because I donât think thatâs possible.
Also, if xQc has all or most of the skins that were available prior to this event, duplicates are bound to happen⌠getting duplicates of a legendary you donât already have is a freak occurrence though.
I wouldnât say itâs a bug, itâs just a matter of probability. A year or more ago YouTubers and streamers used to open up boxes live or on video and youâd see all kinds of random/tragic/funny things happen.

Since when is getting a duplicate of anything from a loot box a âbugâ? I feel bad for anyone feeling bad for XQC⌠poor guy, I bet it was a tragedy getting that Mei skin twiceâŚ

The golden lootbox garuntees a legendary anniversary skin, if he had a majority of them he wouldbhave a high chance to get a dupe as dupes arent impossible to get in lootboxes

What are you talking about with a $50 box?
Who cares about anything related to xQc

Itâs 40 dollars not 50. The 40 dollar pack comes with 50 loot boxes plus 1 legendary box.

As he says: OP is lying to serve their idiotic narrative. There is quiiiiite a big difference between paying 50 dollars for 1 Golden lootbox, and paying 40 dollars for 50 lootboxes AND a golden lootbox.

Sounds like astronomically bad luck, because the âno dupesâ only kicks in after youâve acquired the skin.
I believe the known issue with the Legendary Loot Boxes are still happening. Basically items for the 50 standard loot boxes are decided separately from that of the Legendary loot box. See rule number 7 below:
Loot Box Distribution Rules
- The rate of rarity distribution for Loot Boxes (during no seasonal event) are a minimum 3 Common (White) and 1 Rare (Blue) item, then approximately 1-out-of-5 loot boxes will replace one item with at least one Epic (Purple) item, and 1-out-13 loot boxes will replace one item with one Legendary (Gold) item. It is possible to get more than one Epic or Legendary in any given loot box but it is extremely rare.
- During a Seasonal Event, seasonal marked items will appear more frequently with a minimum of one seasonal item appearing in any Loot Box and the odds of getting Seasonal Epic and Legendary items are improved from that of standard loot box items.
- On occasion, a Rare, Epic, or Legendary item will be replaced with Gold Currency. Gold Currency can be used to purchase any items (except Player Icons) from the Standard Loot Box distribution and any items that is currently available in an active Seasonal Event. You will get 50 Gold for Rare drops, 150 Gold for Epic Drops and 500 Gold for Legendary Drops.
- Loot Box contents are determined at the time the Loot Box is earned or paid for and not when the Loot Box is opened. The contents takes into account of the playerâs current inventory for all items in the standard loot box distribution and seperately for any seasonal event in progress, but only issues items based on the rarity distribution. You cannot hoard loot boxes to earn new items for upcoming content releases such as a new hero.
- If a player collect all possible Standard Distribution loot box items at a certain rarity or all items of a Seasonal Event currently in progress, they will start to earn duplicates again. Here are a few possible scenarios:
- If a player has collected all possible standard Commons from the Standard Loot Box distribution and there is no seasonal event running, they will start to earn duplicates again for any Common items issued. The Loot Box does not instantly provide any higher rank items by default nor will it issue any seasonal items when no seasonal event is running.
- If a player has collected all possible standard Commons from the Standard Loot Box distribution but there is a seasonal event running and they have not collected all possible commons from that seasonal distribution, they will not start to earn duplicates again for any Common items but any Common Items will be seasonal items until all possible Seasonal Common items for that Seasonal Event are earned.
- If a player has not yet collected all possible standard Commons from the Standard Loot Box distribution but has collected all possible Seasonal Commons from a seasonal event that is currently in progress, then they may start seeing duplicates on occasion. This is because a Seasonal Loot Box must contain at least one item from that Seasonal event which is not affected by rarity distribution.
- If a player unlocks an item with gold currency before opening any unopened Loot Boxes, they may receive duplicates to the item they just unlocked.
- A Golden Loot Box is guaranteed to contain at least one Legendary item, however it is not restricted otherwise. There are no current promotions for Golden Loot Boxes at this time. An Anniversary Event Legendary Loot Box will contain one Anniversary Event item based on your current inventory but it may not be that Legendary Item. If you purchase the 50 Loot Box pack with the bonus Anniversary Legendary loot box, the items in that Legendary Loot Box will be determined NOT accounting for the 50 other Loot Boxes (and the 50 boxes will not account for the Legendary Loot Box either). This makes it possible where the guaranteed Legendary Item is a duplicate!
- Anniversary Event Loot Boxes now pool from all current existing event loot box distribution and the standard loot box distribution. Please note, the Overwatch Anniversary Event is running at this time. At least one Anniversary Event item will appear in each Anniversary Loot Box. For the three remaining slots any seasonal event drop or standard item drop will be selected PRIOR to rarity and item selection. Because of this, if you have collected all possible items of any rarity of any event or the standard Loot Box Distribution, there is a chance to earn duplicates. This chance will increase the more complete your collection of loot box items are even if you do not have all possible items for any rarity of any event (or standard loot box distribution).

Nah. Thats just how lootboxes works.
Its not a bug.
Some are lucky & some arent that much.
My neckbeardian is a little rusty, but I believe this roughly translates into âHeâs a man-baby that validates my own poor temperament.â Is that correct?

Lol I saw that. Honestly itâs so annoying that if you get a duplicate of a skin thatâs worth 3000 credits you only get 200 credits⌠like cmon jeff
the legendary lootboxes are supposed to be a guaranteed, unacquired legendary skin
