I don't think its a bug. I have seen countless of youtubers opening battlepacks and it was the same skin over and over again.

There is a higher change to get the same skin. Its just like the tank skins. Good luck with getting those 😞.

    Well then it's clearly not random selection. If you are telling me that out of all 8 legendary skins they have pre allocated percentage rates of dropping then it's not random. It says the tank skins are rare so they aren't going to drop regularly but the other 6 legendary skins aren't dropped randomly. 2 of them will drop 80% of the time. A primary weapon and a pistol. Then 1 other drops 10% and the other 3 I haven't seen drop from all my superior battlepacks or regular as well. It's like that for each revision. I'm so sick of getting the same skin over and over again. It ruins the experience for me after absolutely loving the rest of the game. In my opinion they have got it wrong when it comes to battlepacks. It's a s*** fight currently but I know why they have it set up this painful system because they are going for the cash grab! It traps people into buying battlepacks thinking they will eventually get that skin they really want only to constantly disappoint with a duplicate and the cycle repeats. It's like a poker machine, you think that next big win is in the next spin (battlepack) but the house always wins.

      There's NOTHING random about the skins. My experiences are as follows;

      I have now opened 60 thats SIXTY standard crates in a row without receiving a single legendary skin. Not an exaggeration. SIXTY standard crates in succession and not a single Legendary Weapon Skin, not even duplicates. Not possible if this is random. Bought 40 normal crates, not one contained a legendary item, then earned an additional 20 normal crates through play and still not one legendary skin.

      When they dropped the Tsar dlc, I bought around 11 superior packs trying to get the new skins. I received the Cei Rigotti (sp?) 6 times including 3 in a row, and a shot gun skin I already own 3 times. I then got a single new skin twice. I have experienced on DOZENS of occasions getting the same skin two and three times in a row when I already own it in the first place. This has been the case right from the start, where I had a pitifully small collection of skins. I'd still get the one skin I owned multiple times in a row rather than a new one.

      I have learned my lesson EA. I will never for as long as I live invest money in your so called RNG in game drops. There is NOTHING random about them, they are a very carefully thought out system for squeezing the maximum amount of cash out of those people who make the fatal mistake if starting on the fruitless path towards trying to buy them. 

      For the other people who have answered, you clearly don;t know what you are talking about. Sycophancy is sickening so pack it in. Brown nosing EA, how low can you stoop. Thousands upon thousands of people have the same experience so quit with the 'it's random', 'it's just bad luck' BS...
