Im not trying to be salty, but I feel like Im losing way more than Im winning, and it seems to be that 85% of those losses are to things I cant control. I cant do anything about them top decking or high rolling, and I cant do anything about me drawing poorly or low rolling. The vast majority of the games Ive played recently felt like there was very little to no decision making. It all came down to RNG and who rolled better. Like I can sit and watch my opponent make an obvious mistake every few turns and still win because they never lost and RNG affect. Does anyone else feel this way? Maybe Im just super bad, but in that case I cant figure out what Im doing wrong. So how do I get better at being lucky?
You can't control RNG. You can, however, control how you react to it. If an opponent gets a crazy high-roll and you're feeling frustrated, take a break before returning to the game. Also, for every time an opponent has high-rolled, you've high-rolled. Confirmation bias leads you to recognize only the former, but if you make a conscious effort to take note of the times when you high-roll, it'll be a lot harder to get tilted.
Today in my free brawl pack I got Barongeddon, then I had a cup of fresh green tea. As a result of that, I think Priest is OP because my keyboard is not a mechanical one. I hope Blizzard will address this issue.
I have actually been trying that. I have kept track of my last ten games. Of those I went second eight times, I lost to a topdeck 3 times, I lost to a nut draw 4 times, lost to a crazy piece of RNG twice, and won once. Im really starting to think Im just awful, but I try to look back at the games and determine where I could have made a different decision to win. But most of them it didnt matter what I did, I would still lose.
hearthstone is just a shitty rng game and you have to deal with it, hearthstone is a moneybank for blizzard but you will realize fast enough that they dont care about the game, since the game have came out beside new card and skin they is nothing blizzard have gave us, Still the fucking same UI no new game mode nothing trust me the sonner u leave this game the better your life will be
Just try a different card game. Hearthsone has the most RNG fiesta out of any of them. It's probably their design philosophy to give people without a brain a chance to win through RNG

In games that have a fair amount of RNG you have to realize this: you CAN'T control it but you can weigh the odds into your favour.
First of all, deckbuilding. If you add a lot of cards that do similar effects you increase your decks 'redundency'-effect. ALL cardgames (including that of Poker, a game that's considered an Olympic sport AND highly skillful game) have RNG in that you have to draw cards... but what if you have to draw one of several cards? What if you need a 4 in order to get a specific hand working in poker, a 4 of spades would be optimal but a 4 of hearts would do just as fine.
We can implement this effect in drawing cards, if you need burn you can play more spells that causes burn, if you are looking for early game you include more 1-2 drops into your deck etc.; Arena is essentially the peak of how redundancy can be applied to Hearthstone. You look to make your deck as solid as possible as opposed to as optimal as possible.
Arcane Intellect is a redundancy card for an example or Kobold Geomancer if you play something like a Bloodmage Thalnos and every single second copy of a card is more or less also a redundancy-card.
Secondly, instead of just thinking about how 'they' topdecked the right card think about it like this... "If I include this card and I can draw it, than increases my winrate" and then apply that to your opponent. All of a sudden those 'lucky' top decks are more remincsent of whenever you win a game that you should win (I hate this term but we are talking about psychology here, no one ever deserves to win initially and therefore you cannot have an effect where one should win but in this case... psychology has proven that reality is far from what we are willing to understand and dedicate logic to).
And finally and my third point: you are as lucky as your opponent, the only difference is that you are not staring down a mirror and thus' you can only reflect yourself on your opponent. If your opponent won then your own reflection seems more bleak.
There are games that you cannot physically win... but with the right mindset, good deckbuilding and a more positive attiude those circumstances are rare and when they do happen you usually can discern something useful about your deck. What happened that made it IMPOSSIBLE for you to win? Was it as simple as "I didn't draw correctly" or is there something else at play...?
These mindsets can be applied to any game of RNG albeit with a bit of a different take on 'em but never the less, anyone that claims that Hearthstone or any other game that has RNG is less skillful or decietful becuase of its RNG (as some other folks have mentioned in your thread)... I challenge anyone to live a single day where you can predict everything that's going to happen every single second of those 86 400 seconds of the day. RNG is something which is handled well in Hearthstone in a vast majority of all cases and its mostly about the positive attitude... and don't reflect yourself as 'bad' because you lost. There's probably some truth in that but there's more to learn than to sit and be sad about it and RNG can be controlled to a certain extent, after that its probability.
I have an example of this: I played a game earlier where I needed to draw a taunt. I could either try to make one using the Build-A-Beast hero power or try to go for one with Animal Companion. I tried the Animal Companion first and got Huffer. Then I build a beast that if I hadn't used the mana to cast Animal Companion I would've had a quite solid taunt that could've killed my opponent's minion.
That's an example of how I fucked up because I went for a 1/3 rather than to build my beast beforehand. I could've still ended up getting AoE-cleared or death'd or something so I still wouldn't potentially have won that game. But that's also kinda the point... I could've done more to increase my chances by doing things in the right order, even if I have to rely on getting a taunt in my beast-building or Misha from Animal Companion.
It's easy, just play an infinite amount of time and statistics say that everything will even out.^^
I know you are joking, but it should also be clarified that statistics does not say this, because infinity is not a number. It is a concept related to numbers, but you can't actually use it mathematically. If you do, arithmetic would break down.

RNG does decide its fair share of HS games. It is a game obviously designed to not allow very high differences in winrate. A new HS player with a good deck will have a decent chance against a seasoned one even if the matchup is fairly balanced, and obviously matchups are often very skewered making it even more likely that "bad" players will also win a fair bit.
Mostly HS is about doing your best to gain small advantages, which over time should be enough to allow for an above average winrate. In this respect it is far closer to poker than chess. A chess master will pretty much never lose to a beginner player, but in poker that happens a lot in given hands, it's the result over time that matter. Though the similarities really end there, because in poker the most advantageous play is often to lose a given hand (folding) - in HS you always play to win.
A good rule of thumb for what constitutes a good play is to consider what will make the toughest situation for your opponent to handle. When you do this, you should consider a) how many cards does he have in hand b) how deep is he in his deck c) what has he played so far d) what type of cards is likely in a deck like this e) has he played like he holds the card he needs to solve the problem you are setting up.
Some classes are typical for classes and those are the easiest to set up. Priest often struggles to deal even low damage, mages have trouble clearing a big board and a big minion at once, hunter can be run out of resources from hand, rogues struggle to regain HP, druids don't like to face big minions, non-control warriors can be swarmed, control warriors don't like 2 big threats at once... etc.
