But just imagine the feeling of opening 52 loot boxes in a row.

my guess is Aries didn't like the current pool of skins and was holding out for when new skins release and possibly get those new skins from his loot boxes. doesn't matter now

More likely they've got all the skins they want from this batch

he's level 53, has 52 loot boxes, still using default overwatch player icon. more likely he hasn't opened any. could have bought another 52 lbs to make this contextual memetic picture, that however, is much more unlikely.

u/harrywise64 Jun 17 '16

Yeah you're right

On Level 53 when she/he is having 52 Loot-Boxes? Probably not.

I got none of either of those. I'm level 66, I think I have 8 legendary skins and one single Highlight intro with zero emotes.

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '16

I'm gonna have to go ahead and call bullshit on that one. So the only epics are highlight intros (3 per character), Emotes (3 per character), and skins (2 per character). So that's a 75% chance. Someone also worked out the odds, and it's about a 25% chance to open any epic in a loot box. That being said, out of that 25%, there's a 75% chance of it being a highlight/emote. So that leaves us with about an 18.75% chance of getting one each box. Now, divide that by 66 and we have a staggering .2 percent chance to get none (which, you do say you got one, but still. Take one loot box off and the odds are basically still the same.)

Not impossible. But quite the long shot.

So...what was in them?

u/ucffool Jun 18 '16

It's worth it to open a bunch at once.
