I think that probably applies here. ^_^ It may not be the best Arena (and certainly isnt the worst) but it does have synergies between the right cards.
Sorry to hear you're having trouble though - have you tried using a tool like HearthArena or similar to help find cards that synergise with other ones you've picked etc?
Since I am not a genius, I have to play many games in each new Arena meta before getting a good success rate, which for me is around 4.7.
I know you think that you are entitled to be good at Arena, but you might have to put in some PRACTICE. Doing RESEARCH by reading comments from serious players also helps, like in the Arena sub-Reddit page. Unfortunately, practice games are expensive.
Last night I broke 7 wins for the first time in this meta. It was about my 10th game in the meta so far. I broke down and used HearthArena since I admitted to myself that I wasn't smart enough or experienced enough yet to properly value cards in this meta.
It's actually mathematically impossible for this to be Arena's fault.
If you are getting no more than one win per run, it's because you have failed to adapt to the new meta, period.
The vast majority of other players are getting at least two or three wins. I don't even need to check a stats site to know this -- it simply cannot be otherwise.

I have plenty of practise....Incredulous statement. As I said I was averaging wins based on the old meta, now this one has screwed me. Remember also, it's RNG. I can't control the outcome so the synergy is still bad.

Well other people seem to do alright. Also, everyone else has to draft the same way you do, and they still do alright. I think you are overestimating your ability .
Do some research, watch some videos and you should be back up to your old average. The current meta is pretty fast, so make sure to draft enough early game.
I can see it being hard for people that never played with some of the cards since theres some older ones, but theres no way you getting 0 and 1 wins runs is just lack of sinergy and pure rng.
It was in this arena meta that I've had my first 12-win arena; and I've been playing HS consistently since beta. And I must say, it's pretty damn hard to consistently pull off 0-1 arena wins. Even as myself, which I consider an average HS player at most. Perhaps it seems you do need some more practice.
You complain about lack of synergy in this arena meta however, almost every game I play there is some sorts of mech synergy.
Also, it's a card game. Not only is it a card game, it's Hearthstone; a very rng based game. Always have, always will be. But underneath all of that rng there requires a certain amount of skill to be successful. Get over yourself, and instead of complaining to the forum over reasons that are obsolete, why don't you figure out how to skillfully play the game.
There was no way you were a 5.0 win average and dropped to 0-1 wins. In fact, I myself have a 5.8 win average (I track all of them on heartharena) and I have NEVER gone 0-3 or 1-3 in a total of 83 runs.
I suggest tracking everything, because it's more likely that you were an average arena player (3 wins-ish) and currently struggling and seeing those 1 and 0 win runs. Anyway, you're not playing well if you're not getting to 3 wins, plain and simple.
In the prior meta, I averaged 4.3 wins. During my first 20 runs in rise of the mech, I only averaged 3.1, until a switch flipped and I've been averaging nearly 5 wins in my last 15 runs. I watch the lightforge and tempo storm arena videos and shadybunny and adwcta. I learn a lot from them! Drafting a good curve is priority #1!
Why are you drafting for synergy? If the synergies happen, then let them happen. But if you're passing up good cards in buckets to reach for synergy then you're drafting wrong. Also, as someone else said, this is an aggressive meta. You're best off having at least 4-5 one drops. Crystallizer, for example, is currently one of the highest performing cards.
You ought to check in on HSreplay for stats and also make sure you're keeping up to date on the latest nerfs to offering rates. They recently nerfed the crap out of Hunter and buffed rogue for some reason. Mage and Paladin were nerfed and Shaman/Warrior were buffed. You have to know these subtleties if you plan on banging out a 5+ win average.

Worth pointing out that "You obviously are lying because I can't achieve what you did therefore must not be possible..." is not a particularly compelling or realistic argument. I don't play a lot of Arena these days, but when I do I tend to average probably in the 6-7 wins mark, but that doesn't stop me from getting the rare low-scoring run, or equally the less-rare high scoring one either. Claiming that a guy is wrong simply because you can't achieve the same results as him is pretty ridiculous at best.
It's like Usain Bolt breaking his leg and claiming he can't run as fast and then Joe Bloggs telling him he obviously must never have ran fast at all, because Joe has an average running speed of 5 miles an hour and has never run as slow as Usain Bolt with a broken leg so obviously Usain Bolt must be lying.... XD

I am sick and tired of this Arena meta; It's broken and unstable.
I know there will be mixed reviews about this but I was averaging 5 wins before now I am getting like 0-1.
I just can't synergize cards and/or the cards are just not working for me. Is anyone else noticing this?
They ****** it.

Just a bad luck. Take some time off and then try again

I went 11-3 in the first run of the meta, all my other runs have been 2-3 wins

Hey i cant win so its broken. fix it now!

Trust me, the card synergy is terrible.

I think I was averaging a lot more wins in the meta, consistently...Try again.

Just jealous of these looks. Nothing too be explained more than the fact that I am a better player than you. Enjoy cries.

Arena is and will be RnG fiesta, that's how we like it.
