    First I would have to say I love skirmish for testing out new champs/decks. However I don't know if its just odd luck for me or do Legendary runes have a higher chance of dropping than Exotic runes? I have had 6 Legendary runes drop so far (though 3 of them are the KF banner) but I have only had 1 exotic drop ever. Is this normal? If so what is the reasoning?

    - your data sample is too small and too personal.

    - i flipped a coin twice both times heads.....supposed to be 50% ...is this normal? Hint : if i flip it more times it balances out. Your sample is too small and you didnt get what you wanted so its too personal.

    Doesnt matter, his question on drop rates is perfectly valid. He describes his experience and asks if that is normal. Sure his sample size is too small, but hes not claiming anything.

    I dont see any issue with the OP. He clearly desribes his situation and asks for info, good on him.

    Uh wow. I feel quite honored by @BurnPyro post in an odd way.

    Also through @Thbigchief attacks, my question has been answered I guess. I would think getting more legendaries a good thing in comparison to more exotics though I can't say there are any of either I am really looking for now in the core set. I was just surprised and wonder if the devs where trying to keep the exotics more rare than legendaries for older players or if they were trying to be nice to the new player base since it is more exciting to land a legendary than an exotic.

    I seem to get a lot of exotics from winning Training Grounds matches, but I have also gotten a lot of legendaries (though as you said, they were mostly banners, or even worse, starred legendaries - so untradeable). It is a great way for new players to get some high value runes which will allow them to trade for the runes they need to make their own decks or to forge the runes.

    I have yet to get anything above rare from a skirmish.

    I've gotten a few diplos and a couple banners, as well as a handful of exos, but I've been playing a lot of skirmishes.

    I've played about 75 skirmishes and the tutorials and I've gotten:
    2 legendaries (UD & KF banner)
    2 exos (Dwarven King & Sheoul Demon)
    ~5 various rares
    Rest c/uc

    - so its normal to get random stuff from skirmish ...yes. I have not seen any abnormal preference for legs over exotics, no.
