Diminishing returns?!

Is there such a thing as diminishing returns in this game?

The first time I did a Typhon run on Legendary, I got a purple ring (albeit, the ring was crap for a melee character such as myself, so I decided to run him again).
The second time I ran Typhon, I got 1 green and mostly potions to drop.
The third time, well, the picture will tell you.

This is the picture of my drops of the 3rd Typhon run

I was wondering if farming Typhon (or any other boss such as a Telkine, the bull, the liche dragon, etc.) is even worth it because of diminishing returns.

Someone help

whats a diminishing returns??
btw dont worry about the drops... you need a big amount of "luck" if you want good items... so just keep farming and you will get good stuff aventualy XD
i got (after lots of farming) a full set of trojan armor (wich is very very good for starting the epic lvl

Is there any way to improve your chances of getting good magical items (ie. armor, rings, weapons, etc. with increased percentage to get magical items)?

and its not that i know alot...
but there isnt a sure proven way to do that...
most of the people say its all about how high is your level, i personaly think that its all about the lvl your playing at (normal,epic,legend)
somwhere you can find the percentages of the possibility that a magical item will drop.. but i yet to find such thing =\

It's a mix, like it was in Diablo 2, normal with character level, epic with character level, and Legendary with character level.

The only real reason I thought it was diminishing returns was because I got an epic my first run of him, a single green the second, and absolute crap the third time.
