That sucks, man. I've experienced the opposite with ToD (I just recently reinstalled the game).
The first 3 Shores of Tuern (non-epic) runs I did I got: First run - Draconic Boots, 2nd run - nothing, 3rd run - Dragon Gem. And now I'm on about 25 runs with nothing.
I got lucky,got my artifact belt+ draconic helm today in the second chest of the normal skirmish
I only play the normal skirmish now ,it got a better drop rate in the second chest than the epic skirmish
In the epic most of the time that is like 99% rank 5 and scroll in the second chest

There's no magic formula it's just luck.
For them to gate most of the good rewards behind it instead of player performance, effort and skill is such a disappointment .
