It is pretty insane how low the odds for legendaries got from this expansion. I don't know if the team decided to make it intentional, because from the other expansions with all my saved up gold [5000+] I was able to secure WAY more legendaries than before.
Also as a point of reference, I unpacked 2 legendaries from 50 packs. Where as I would usually net 4-6 from other expansions.
It's almost like it's random.
This guy over here claiming devs secretly changed pack odds because of his 50 yes FIFTY pack sample size lmao. You'd have to open that x 1000 to even start analyzing anything critically
Each of us got 8 legendaries so my partner with 163 packs has been bit more effective on this. She got her legendaries more uniformly distributed over the course of opening whereas I almost hit pitytimer twice then followed by back-to-back legendary drop.
Also I've got substantially more epics - 42 (out of 50) vs 29. This was compensated by the fact I've got that shitty Vandar which everyone will get golden sooner or later followed by Balinda which I hoped to get in diamond after miniset.
Overall, seems rather random and I can't really complain to my epic drops.
I've opened 50 packs, got 3 legendaries 1 of them being golden. After the 10 pack pity legendary I got 2 out of 40, luckily one of them being golden(Which is like my 4th ever since beta so no, I don't print golden legendaries). Exactly average.
With a 5% chance you could realistically go quite a long time, well beyond pity timer without getting one but that's called variance and it's completely normal. Could also open them back to back. But at the end of the day we've all probably opened up enough packs across all expansions and find ourselves sitting at around the 1 in 20 mark.
Based on the responses here we have a completely normal distribution. Myself it was 3 in 40 packs. I don't play constructed so it's not a big deal. Just blowing some extra gold.
Gratz to those who had good luck. Better luck next time to those who didn't.
I just got around to opening mine (as I'd been trying to honor grind until the announcement) and got another terrible opening. This year all 3 expansions have had bad ones, but the last 2 really bad. Excluding the guaranteed first leg in first 10 opens, I got 5 in 145 packs. Awful. And one of them was Drek'thar (first one...), so if they hadn't agreed to the refund, then it would have been extra bad.
Wel it is still not on the front page but there is a new cost-effective bundle in the store - 2 legendaries and 10 Alterac + 10 Standard packs. For $20 I guess.
This is an offer I mentioned earlier: the biggest buck for money is small preorder (2L + 60 packs) + Tavern Pass + Post-release bundle (2L + 10 packs + 10 other packs) - it costs the same as a large preorder but fills one's Legendary collection a bit more.
Opening results: me and my partner got 4 legendaries from 40 packs! In fact, she got all 4 of them (from 20 packs) - that's everything you should know about statistics.

I think it was my best, and I have a complete collection so I've opened a lot. Then again, I'm usually far below average.
Point is, we all know that the economy of this game is designed by heartless psychopaths. Our addiction is a terrible curse. Not really joking btw.
Take a walk on the wild side...
Same here dude not as bad as u but I got 5 in 100 barely any golds either. Luck has to change from here lol
Deez
19 legs (4 golden) in 190 + 5 (golden) packs. So yeah Went pretty good for me

My two cents.
We opened 176 + 163 packs right after launch.
