Iron Banner drops bugged? (Prisms and Tusk)
Hi, I've been grinding Iron Banner over the week for the chance to snag some of the new gear, mostly the strand grenade launcher truthfully.
I've now played enough Iron Banner to reset my rank, and have cashed in something like... 30 or more Iron engrams. Tusk of the Boar has yet to drop, and my engrams seem biased towards dropping the same rewards repeatedly.
Two to three helmets in a row, then the bow, then the chest plate... etc.
It could be very likely that my luck is just terrible, but I was wondering if it has to do with me not getting the ornaments available from Saladin? Could that be influencing the bias of my engrams to drop excess armor?
Additionally, I'm wearing a full set of Iron Banner armor, but have yet to see any prisms drop from Iron Banner matches. I think I've gotten an enhancement core here or there, but no prisms... And I think I've only gotten three weapons to drop post match completion over the course of one rank reset (Stag, Raven, Riiswalker).
Honestly it could be that my luck is just terrible, but I'm getting close to ignoring Banner for the rest of the week given I'm only getting low stat armor and none of the weapon I'm looking for.
Bugs or bad luck?

I played 23 matches. I didn't keep track of the total engrams, but I'd guess around 12 to 15 at most. I already had all the iron banner armor, but when i opened my engrams, probably 75% gave me armor (not even good stat rolls). I got 2 of the grenade launchers (one trash, one ok), and none of the new multimach. I really wish they would have just set each one as a vendor reward, even if they were crappy static rolls, so we could have focused our engrams on more rolls instead of needing rng just to unlock them in the first place.
