And today I've seen some streamers open packs from previous expansions and get a legendary in their first 10 packs. So, I was wondering if it happened again.
Happens now and again as a bug. Not sure if it occurred this time though!

How do you know a streamer is getting a legendary in their first 10 packs? Do you know what their pity timer for that set was currently at? Also, you can get a legendary every 1 pack if you're lucky enough. Unless you know their exact pity timer your guess is sorta useless. Also, if it is a brand new account with no pity timer yet then the 10 packs is expected

I'm F2P and when this bug happens it's a huge deal for me. That's why I was asking.
pity timer just means that it is extremely likely to happen, there is no guarenteed, and since it is not officially announced, the results are unstable so there is no definitive answer, he might not get them in 10 pack but you might
Maybe it's just pure luck? When that Year of the Mammoth pack bundle hit I've also got a legendary in every set of 10 packs, but from what I remember, pity timer wasnt reset on those.
I have experienced this as well since the launch of KOTFT. I always reset all my pity timers going into a new expansion. I only have my own experience to go by though and no real proof that it exists. My results have been consistent except for Witchwood ( I was really tired on launch day and lost focus of my gameplan) and on Knights. I forgot to open packs from classic. I tried to do it 1 week later and failed. My results are that I have gotten a legendary in the first 10 of each pack so long I only open 1 set at a time till I get the legendary and then move to a different set.
This doesn't happen "every now and again", it happened once a couple of years ago when Blizzard fucked up with rarity distributions inside packs.
To correct it and compensate they intended to reset pity timers for accounts where people lost out due to the bug but it turned out they also reset pity timers for people who hadn't opened any packs between the patch where they fucked up and the patch where they tried to compensate.

LOL, WTF? Who cares if you are F2P or not? Trying to exploit a bug is cheating!!!

Nope, afaik you are guaranteed to get one every 40 packs you haven’t opened one. The pity timer only triggers when you open 40 packs and fail to get a legendary, not every 40 packs no matter what, if that’s what you’re getting at. Also, I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing Blizzard has talked about.
EDIT: And at least once during your first 10 packs of an expansion, when you haven’t opened any yet. So, you’re guaranteed one in your first 10, then guaranteed one in every 40 from there on.

And I cheat by... buying and opening packs? OK.
What kind of reply is that, considering you are not even paying with real money for the packs (you said your are F2P)?

I've been watching some event streams today and looked like the pity timer (of all expansions) has been reset. Can someone confirm?
It has happened before.

Exactly. It seems like, but I'm looking for confirmation
They could be new accounts. Many streamers use F2P accounts quite often.
That was not the case

Just opened 10 Un'Goro packs. No legendaries.
Ok, thanks for trying

Vote for my Card Design Submission! I love this one!
Most likely not true.
I just got a golden Lorewalker Cho from the Tavern Brawl but this could very well be luck and not bug.

I've no clue what I'm doing...
