While reading online, I saw an interesting claim about Overwatch's golden loot boxes.
PSA: The legendary is guaranteed to not be a duplicate.
While I did not receive any duplicate items when I opened my golden loot box, I can't say whether or not it was by chance.
I've seen a few forum posters saying they've received duplicate Oni Genji and Officer D.Va skins, but this could just be a bug considering the skins were only added to regular loot boxes a few days ago.
Aside from the Oni Genji and Officer D.Va skins, are Golden Loot Box rewards guaranteed to be unique, non-duplicate items?

Blizzard Support has come out and stated duplicate items from Golden Loot Boxes is NOT intentional, and that they will be compensating players who received duplicates with a second Golden Loot Box.
