Im getting so freaking frustrated at myself atm its making me sick. No matter wich deck im playing, and that included mostly the current metas, i just cant seem to get my head arround whats going on, maybe im too offensive, maybe im too passive i dont know. I do make some wrong plays from time to time wich costs me a game, but not allways.
I have won about 500 games, on various classes. Best rank i have reached is 14, wich isnt very impressive.. :( - When i finally get a good mulligan or starting hand, the other guy seems to get their best hand aswell.
I had a game before with the Rogue quest meta, where i could get quest done at level 4, but the guy had allready burned me down before i could do much about it. Stuff like that happends alot to me, not matter wich deck im choosing to play. I feel like im outlucked 60% of the time and outplayed 40%..
Therefore im rotating alot, i know thats the worst i can do, but its just so freaking frustrating for me, that no matter what im doing, i feel like im losing.
Any good advice for a newbie? I could use about anything.
UPDATE!
Hi again, thx for some good advice, and some bad :) - Ive changed my tactic and playstyle a bit, and ive actually managed to climb to rank 11.
Sometimes when you're on a losing streak, it's a good idea to take a day or two off. Get some fresh air, or play something else for a few days. When you come back to Hearthstone, it'll be with a fresh outlook. Once you're back, pick a deck you like and stick with it for a while - 60 or so games. The more you play it, the more you'll improve your play. And don't be afraid to make tweaks rather than using someone else's list.
Lastly, don't forget to have fun, whatever you do. Keep a positive outlook, and things will improve!
First of all, chill it. I'm serious - it happened to me as well. I'm no legend player, but I get into single digit ranks, although I've skipped serious laddering in the last seasons (PW...).
Try to have fun, think ahead, watch streamers etc. But most of all, think about the meta. Predict what your opponent is playing, plan your moves in advance. I know it sounds simple, but it's doable. Also try to find a deck that "fits" the meta - I'm currently experimenting with 4 decks and try to find a spot. I don't like Quest Rogue (I've liked the old Miracle Rogue much more), so now I'm looking for a good Discolock list, as well as playing Jade/Ele Shaman, Murloc Shaman and Taunt Quest Warrior. Sometimes you get shit hands and draw (yesterday I've played 3x Murloc Shaman and got 5 Murlocs in around 25 rounds total).

If that is true, you are probably really bad at the game. You need to improve a lot man. You have played lots of games and yet your best rank is 14, that really sucks dude.

what a usefull comment :)
Sorry, but I'm just telling you the truth.
I know i suck, i wouldnt have made the forum post if i didnt.. Im just asking for some advise.. But its fine.. you know, people on the internet..
The expansion came out barely a week, the early meta is still very unstable, so you should expect to see a variety of different decks and unexpected game plans/moves besides the popular ones you see (aka Quest Rogue, Taunt Warrior). It's very normal for the ladder to be hard to climb during this period tbh.

It's a useless truth. The op isn't whining about being entitled to winning, he's asking for advice on how to improve. how is saying "you need to improve" at all useful to someone asking the question "how can I improve? "?
How much are you playing? In the recent time I've been playing very casually and think rank 14 is OK for a season if you play only 2-3 games per day at most. Hearthstone is really a game of averages, If you play a lot you are bound to come to rank 5 through winning streaks alone.

The thing is, you are not just bad, you are terrible. Maybe this game is not for you...
To those who are focusing on/complaining about his amount of wins and rank are idiots. Answer his question.
By the OP, I had the same EXACT problem for two seasons, and now I'm climbing fast. The more time you put in the game the better you'll get. I don't know how to explain it, but the best advice I can give you is this : Put more time in

harsh truth but he is right..
you need to refine your skill.. well 500 games is just a beggining I guess I got like 6K wins by now.
Keep rotating decks, but dont try to rank up for a few days. Then, after a few days or even a week, pick your favorite deck. Fine tune it for the meta, and set a goal to reach a specific rank.
I played all sorts of decks when un goro launched, and now i picked a deck to go to legend with (or fail trying :p) in the next couple of days. I had 10 days of fun, and now probb 5 days where i will be frustrated about every game i loose
How much time you put in is important, it is easy to get frustrated at a losing streak and just give up some times, some people have given some good tips, at the moment with the new cards the meta is going to take time to settle down and knowing what your opponent is playing will help you play smarter and win games, as it was said try your best to stick with one deck and learn it well win or lose, keep track of your progress with decktracker, it has a function in which you can look at your game replays, this can help you analyze mistakes etc.. blow off the negative comments and just try and have some fun, given time you will improve if you stick with it, best of luck...
I saw a deck I liked. Alot. It was crusher shaman around the vanilla days of hearthstone. I played that deck for like 5 seasons or so. I read all the strats, tech choices and made it like a study sample learned the mulligan, good/bad matchups etc.
And then I applied it similary to all future decks. Made it to rank 5 for the first time around the time GVG came out and since then pushed to rank 3. This was all before the rank floors. Point in hand, practice and refine until you get it where you want to be.

Purify Priest is your man. I've been testing the deck today and it is funny to play and actually quite effective.

Watch streamers and think what cards you would play what you would do trade or attack face, and watch their actions.

Indeed watch some streamers.
Quest Rogue is powerful, but vulnerable to misplays, because it is inherently anti-tempo.
Currently i'd suggest you Pirate Warrior. But do watch some streams.
I feel your main problem is some lack of optimisation with trade choices...
LOL, I spit out my fucking coffee lmfao this guy. Literally made my day with all these savage comments. LOL
I eat Kingsbane rogues for breakfast.
