I would be happy even if the only thing they did was "lock" the free weapon behind a loot box or a quest, so that I can craft my golden Rogue one and guarantee that I'm not gonna open exactly that. But choosing, of course, would be even better.
I also think that a discover mechanic would work very well here. I would still be random, but you'd get to feel that your choices mattered. A nice compromise...
Source for "Everyone will get one free Legendary weapon."? Is it controllable in any way? (I mean, I want golden Rogue legends anyway, is there a way I can avoid getting a regular Rogue weapon by chance?)
Well that's really strange then... If you're sure about the same expansion, then I'd suggest writing to Blizz about this. Certainly not demanding any compensation or calling it a bug or anything like that! Only pointing it out to them, that the gap between epics has never gone above 10 before, and now it has... Does it have any significance? Is it to be expected? Maybe they'll look into it.
But do make sure first, that you're correct, because I haven't seen a single confirmed break of a pity timer before (except when it was really bugged a few weeks ago, but that was resolved before KFT, and you would have been contacted anyway if it affected you).
Actually, pity timer on regular epics is 10. (source, aside from my own excel) I could say that you should "check your informations before whining", but that would be just mean, wouldn't it? Please try and stay civil...
I just did a quick check back in the logs, and I've had streaks of packs without epics as long as 16. The important thing here is that they were a mix of Classic (spectator quest and brawl), Old Gods, Mean Streets (free packs) and the start of the Un'Goro release packs. If I'm looking at individual pity timers, they never go above 10 for me.
Hey, another Excel freak, I'm not alone... :D Also, what Asuryan said, were they all from the same set? That's a really important distinction. I have logged 1251 pack openings in the past (nearly) two years, and the pity timers always held for me.

Please, do.

Sure, that's exactly what I did with Valeera. The question is: will we get a chance to craft our goldens before opening the free one?

Can confirm it's still active (EU, 5 mins ago)
7th MSoG pack: Raza the Chained
4th WotOG pack: Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound
Also worked yesterday evening when I opened my hoarded packs:
7th Classic pack: Tinkmaster Overspark
5th Un'Goro pack: Lakkari Sacrifice
Before starting, my pity timers were:
Classic: 25
Un'Goro: 19
MSoG: 7
WotOG: 3
So I very much doubt this is a coincidence.
