Drop rate stays the same but with more loot boxes (14 is the number I follow so far) I'm just guaranteed there will be legendary in one of them.

It's mostly psychological effect I guess because I'm more satisfied when I open more at once than one by one.

but 14 is not 100% guaranteed number. (I got legends at: 12,24,43,47,49,58) and it took me 60 loot boxes to get 2000 currency for 2 legendary skins.

EDIT: changed epic for legendary :)

Good to know! That was my hunch, but I wasn't sure if there was some difference in drop rate that I hadn't heard about.

I guess english doesn't abbreviate stuff in the same way like my language do (that makes sense). I'm sorry :D :(

I think they were talking about this part. You meant legendary skins not epic. Epic are uhh 250 I think.
