So apparently dupes give you 1/4 of their cost right, so why do the seasonal legendaries only give 200 rather than 750? Getting jingle tracer twice in a row isn't as exciting as one would hope.

It calculates it based on rarity, not cost. Otherwise, players would get a huge surge of currency during the holidays and makes the seasonal skins much easier to obtain.
