Overwatch's loot box drop rates "all the same"

Jeff Kaplan maintains there's no difference in drop rates during events.

A thread has recently been created on Battle.net questioning the drop rates of loot boxes for events in-game, as players claim to notice a lower drop rate during events compared to other times.

Overwatch's Game Director Jeff Kaplan simply responded to the topic by saying: "The drop rates for Summer Games, Halloween Terror, Winter Wonderland and Year of the Rooster are all the same."

So there you have it, it doesn't seem as if there is a decrease in loot box drop rates during events, but it seems strange so many people think that this is the case. Why do you think this is?
