It's the same issue I have with drops in general. Like yesterday. My Ranger doesn't have all the class gear, he only has 1 class component, I'm missing nearly half of the universal components, and I still don't have three of the original weapons. So 4 legendaries drop, and 3 of them are repeat items. With all of that stuff that I'm missing...

And then I got 6 legendaries on my other 3 javelins, combined. All repeat items.

It didn't bother me so much during the first month, even two months. But I have hundreds and hundreds of hours played now, and there's no way for me to guarantee acquisition of anything...

And the war chests just make it worse. Opening one is like asking how I'll be disappointed this time. I don't even get excited when I see the item is legendary.
It's those surprise mechanics EA thinks we're in love with. I've been a fan of RNG since the early days but most games do it wrong. Division 2 and Anthem have unforgiving RNG.

Back in the day a game like Diablo 2 had similar rng BUT you could actually trade for what you needed which made a HUGE difference. You might keep getting the same Legendary piece and another dude get's the piece you wanted over and over not a problem just trade him gear.
