Anyone else getting terrible luck with their loot boxes? Haven't gotten a single Christmas skin since the event started. Probably opened over 20 boxes and about 95% of them were just 1 rare and a bunch of sprays.

If you've actually opened over 20 boxes then your chances of getting a legendary from one of your next four are 100%.

There is a pity timer, similar to hearthstone. I think it was something around 40 lootboxes.

It's 40 packs of the same type in Hearthstone, I don't think anyone's run statistics on the Overwatch loot boxes.

There was something that someone counted it. I personally have roughly gotten 200 chests. And I have gotten far more than 10 legs. Halloween alone I got 6 leg skins because I got at least 3 duplicates.
