| It takes 1250 loot boxes to get all of the items and 1465 to get all of the Uprising skins too. Posted: 23 Apr 2017 11:37 PM PDT TLDR:
This is an update to this post. First, I got a list of all the items in the game from this site. Then I wrote some python code to parse it. For some reason the Json package failed to read it in so I wrote my own thing T_T. Next, I removed items you can't get or buy (default items, items that you only get from an achievement, items from preordering, and items from blizzcon).
I assumed the following:
I do all the math by single items and then just divide by 4 to get number of loot boxes. I call upon RNGesus to determine the rarity of the item you get and if its a duplicate. The chances of it being a duplicate are (number of items you have)/(total number of items available) for each rarity. The code goes through happily opening boxes until you finally have enough money to buy the items you don't have yet. I repeat this 10000 times and make a nice histogram of how many loot boxes you need to get everything! I did it once including normal items and uprising items. I did it again only using normal items. I did it a third time including all seasonal items which assumes Bliz will make the events an annual thing or something and that you can buy the items at 3x the cost. The results are in the first few lines of the post.
It takes less boxes to get everything if you already have some items because the probability of getting gold from a box increases if you have opened more boxes. I also assume optimal gold spending (you buy all remaining items once you have enough gold for it and no other items). All these calculations don't include Icons. I can change the code a bit and only move on once you get all the icons too. Since you can't buy icons it takes very long for some people to collect them all. This results in a tail in the histogram. Here are the results from that.
One more thing, gold drops are good for trying to get more items. It takes 225 more loot boxes (1475 in total) if I set the probability of getting pure gold drops to 0 to get all the normal items. The code is here if you wanna look at it. There may be issues with this calculation. I don't know for sure the drop rate but I know papa Jeff will release these numbers soon because of some law in china. I also don't know what kind of "pity" rules they have. Like if you open 20 loot boxes with no legendary there might be a 100% chance of the next one being a legendary to help you out. I'm also not sure if all the icons are truly random. Like if you have every single item except one icon, its gonna take a lot of boxes just to get that one icon. They may have added some pity code for that. I forgot where I found my original numbers from but some posts have different numbers. I guess I could rerun the code with different numbers if someone wanted me to. Has anyone gotten all of the items yet? All the non-seasonal items? Has anyone opened a large number of loot boxes and can you finally buy the rest of your cosmetics? This information could help make this approximation better This post is a wild guess and might be totally off. Believe it at your own risk! TLDR buy more loot boxes ^(real tldr is at the top) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Teleporter Uptime is a bad metric for Sym Posted: 24 Apr 2017 03:24 AM PDT Problem: The teleporter can go down in as little as 10 seconds due to you and all 5 of your teammates using it as fast as possible. Not to mention, teleporter uptime tells us little about how good we are, just how little teammates are using it. Combined with the fact that you can't, in 99.9% of cases, generate enough ultimate to place another one down within 10 seconds, means we're unlikely to ever break 50% uptime as long as our teammates are using it when they respawn. Solution: change teleporter uptime to shield generator uptime. Justification: Shield Generator uptime is a much better metric for how well we might be doing, since the longer it stays up, the more shields we've provided to teammates. Currently there is nothing telling us how well we're doing with shield generator effectiveness. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Original Mei was a Bounty Hunter, Frostbite Posted: 24 Apr 2017 05:01 PM PDT http://68.media.tumblr.com/94bf011c7621f28aa3e32285affe584c/tumblr_oowf0hhQ6f1v7m9gxo1_1280.jpg (click the pic to zoom on it) Wow look at this. I wouldn't mind having this for a skin for the current Mei. Rein gets different weapons for his skins, hog different hooks. Still Frostbite looks awesome. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Half of the data was made up in the "how many loot boxes" post. Why is it being spread as fact? Posted: 24 Apr 2017 07:42 AM PDT Seriously, why is complete guesswork presented as a fact currently on the front page for people to parrot in future posts. Change those values and you end up with a completely different number, that's as accurate as the one on the front page Would have hoped someone interested in maths would put accuracy before karma, knowing that most people will read the title and heading but not the full 1,500 word post.
