Why Rare Engrams are still pointless: The Video

Anyone who can actually give me the statistical probability for getting a Legendary Item out of a Rare Engram and can defend why having the probability being that low makes sense wins one cookie.

    RNG isn't completely random. If you decode 1 and it turns into a legendary, then chances are if you decode another fast enough it will turn into another legendary as well. This is due to the 'seed' for the RNG not changing enough from the last game frame. Most likely these consoles use the system time as it's RNG seed. That's why you get different variations of the same kind of item. Here are 2 rares I decoded and both turned into legendary items one after another. EDIT: Video captured with "Xbox Record That" feature. Didn't have my Elgato running, which is why it's not very good quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRyzele2CkM&feature=youtu.be Great video by the way, KSP music had me laughing the whole way through lol
