Legendary drop rate

Curious to see what you guys run to farm legendaries. I know RNG is RNG but I'll share some thoughts...

- I've got an infinite tempest rush monk with near-maxed MF running mp10 act 2 normal for leorics. I think on average, I would get 1 legendary every three runs (each taking maybe 5 minutes). However, in my latest run, I found 4 legendaries, which felt awesome. Alas, no Leoric's... but i'm tempted to start a new char now. (Also, if anyone needs low level level legendaries, holler).

- I've got a barb that I ran MP1 (max MF) Alkaizer runs with, but it was ultimately unsatisfying. I would get maybe 1 legendary every 30 minutes or ~2 to 3 runs. Recently, I've been doing MP4 (~300mf with the MP4) and average 1 legendary per run, which now takes a bit longer but is ultimately more satisfying (I hate repetition).

I just do MP1 ALK runs with no MF on me and just let my Paragon lvl carry me.
I've never really counted my luck with legendary drops but I usually get 1-4 per hour.

MP 0 Alkaiser max MF. 1 - 4 per hour.

I have a very complicated run... but then again I'm technically hunting unique mobs not legendary drops.

I do an Act 2 run MP1 run.
The Unknown Depths (Hellscream)
The Storm Halls (Magelord Flaydren, although he might also be in the Unknown depths according to some sources)
Daulgar Oasis (Torsar, and that 10% chance of a key)
Road to Alcarnus (Yeth)
Alcarnus (Sammash)
Black Canyon Mines (Razormouth)
Howling Plateau (Gart the Mad and Saha the Slasher)

I play a monk with Tailwind rush, and my follower has a puzzle ring.
I average only about 1 legendary per day, so not great. Have almost no MF though. And I usually only do 2 or 3 runs before I head back to HC.

^Same

It seems like around 300+ MF, you find about 1 every run on average. No real complaints about the drop rate itself. I have more complaints about the items themselves (nailbiter, empyrean messenger).

I'm often time-limited so I usually do key runs, but extend them out a bit to other areas if I have more time.

I've had periods of a couple of weeks without a legendary drop, then like on the weekend I had about 5 which is fantastic for me.

Rolls are always pretty terrible.

My lucky night. 5 runs = 1 IK Chest + 5 legs (brimstones)
