Yeah I quit arena for this expansion after I got a 12 win run with warlock (preceded by some mediocre to bad runs). It felt like every game was decided mostly by rng with me having very little unfluence on the game's outcome. In my opinion arena peaked during boomsday (I only started actively playing arena since the taverns of time event) and kept being pretty good until now.
I've picked Warlock 5 times after the expansion. My win counts were 12-10-9-12 and I have a 9-1 Arena run I have yet to finish. Something definitely needs to be done about class balance or the bucket system. After 8 wins, it's all Warlock.
Every arena is bad to someone. Blizzard seemingly can do no right with this format to appease the masses.
This latest iteration is hard to deal with since Blizzard preached frequent adjustments and monitoring. It's been 3 weeks and Warlock is clearly a problem, yet nothing has been done.
Hunter is currently #1 in Arena based on Win Rate, largely because it Hard Counters Warlock.
The issue isn't Warlock but rather the power level of decks. They obviously stealth nerfed Rogue when Rogue was crazy strong at the start of the expansion. They significantly reduced the offering rates of top cards like Miscreant.
Arena is best when decks are weak and you are forced to make hard decisions. Having people LOL their way to 12 wins because they drafted 4x Abyssal Enforcer, 4x Miscreant, 4x Marked Shot, 4x Conjuror's Calling, etc is really dumb.
I am completely lost at the moment in arena. Before RoS I would play infinite arena, overall average at 4.5 wins. Now my *best* class has a 4.5 win average and I am down 3k gold in 48 arena runs.

Lol infinite 4.5 win arena player!!!! I think you need to explain that you play one run a day and it's supplemented by your daily so you don't gain or lose gold overall. You need above 6 wins to be considered infinite if you have high variance in your arena runs or closer to 7 wins if you don't
Sorry I may have used the wrong wording. What I meant, is that I mostly play arena. I get 80-85 gold average per run.
The point I was trying to make, is that my win rate went down with the latest expansion release and I don't know why.
Post some replays or ask specific questions. Right now anyone can make a guess as to why you're doing worse.
You said you've done 48 runs that's a pretty significant sample size to work with, so the more info you provide the better a potential response can be.
the Chance of getting abyssel and maybe voidcaller is kinda dumb.
Yes, it is.

Yep... what a shit job they are doing.. I have to say that the old arena, before the bucket system, was more fun
Wouldn't go this far. State of arena was pretty solid pre RoS.
The current buckets definitely need some tweaking though.
Nope.
Yeah, the difference in Arena winrates between Warlock (which has a solid lead) and Warrior (dead last again) is staggering.
To be great is to be misunderstood.

Infinite is not 4.5 avg.

Arena is a joke right now, yes.
