Olroth Drop Rate are OFF this season (From an Olroth farmer)

Hey there,
I wanted to provide you with my findings regarding T3 Olroth farming and have a general discussion about the Drop Rates this Season. Something is very, very off. If someone has additional information or patchnotes that I missed please share.

0.3 Olroth
I used to farm him a lot in 0.3 with over 500 Runs done. Not a big enough number to make a definitive statement, but a start. My findings (that I documented):
Olroth Flash ~5%
Uhtred`s Omen ~5%
Uhtred`s Augery ~1%
Uhtred`s Exodus: Way to many that I didnt even count them.


Additional Info:
-Omen + Flask alone should pay you back, Augery is bonus Loot
-I usually did ~60-70 runs/session. Dry streaks (30 runs no flask/omen) were VERY rare.
-My best Runs gave me 8 flasks
-Some runs droped a lot of flasks, some omens. The numbers balanced themselves out pretty good. 5% for Omen and Flask according to my numbers.
-Exodus is dropping constantly and not worth a lot


0.4 Olroth
There are no Patch notes changes that I can find anywhere that would indicate change in Drop Rates or anything else. Please let me know if I missed something.

So far:
I did over ~150 Runs and something feels VERY off this season.
Omens and Flask drop way less often. Dry streaks are way more common. Going 30 Runs without Omen or Flask in 0.3 was really rare. In 0.4 it feels like its the norm.
Augery seems fine.
Uhtred`s Exodus. NO DROPS AT ALL. This common item used to spam my skill gem stash tab and wasn`t worth anything. This season I maybe got 1-2. LESS then Flasks or Omen. wtf?

If you have any information please discuss below :)

They don't put things like that in patch notes. Different drop rates every league are expected

Why should fixed Boss Drop Uniques change each season?
Do you have proof for that?

I don't know, ask GGG.

Do you have any proof for your claim of changing seasonal Drop Rates?

Yes,

// I find it interesting that saying the loot pool of "fixed" items are in motion, is hot take.

Drop rates should be expected to change every league especially for a game in early access.....

Guys, if you make a claim you need to show prove, otherwise it is nothing but your opinion and speculation.
I asked if someone actually knows what is going on and can actually show this being the case/has actual Information.
This thread was for learning, NOT for wild speculation.

Its part of how they balance the game. They are fine with having OP items in the game if they are gated by appropriate rarity. Between leagues they reevaluate if unique items power matches their scarcity.

They've mentioned this tactic in interviews over the years.
