Gold Chest champion-gear bias?

I think there's something off about the distribution of champion gear for regular gold/silver chests. Most of my 'default' and evergreen champions clock in at around 32k average item level (+/- 500 or so, not including the newest evergreens, who are obviously lower). Everyone...except Xerophon, who is currently just under 38k average item level, a difference that is almost 10 times greater than that of any of the other champion. That disparity seems way too significant to just be random chance, particularly given the millions of gold chests that represents.

I'm curious if other long-term players have noticed anything similar. Is your Xerophon's average item level noticeably higher than other evergreen champions?

Yes, he has higher average due not having any item capped, like ulti cooldown on all others.

Yep, in my case average ilvl for default champions is 22k, and Xerophon has 26k.

You have an equal chance of getting each item. Once an item is capped, it's removed from the pool.

Xerophon does not have a cap on his 6th item. That means he has 6 chances to get gear out of any given golden chest instead of 5. Thus, he gains about 20% more iLevels than your average evergreen.

So, technically it is biased. Not deliberately, but due to his slot 6 not being capped, allowing him to continue to getting 6 items to every other evergreen champion's 5.

More or less, yeah.
