It's 4:36am eastern time. I've just lost 9 Arena games in a row. NINE. I bought all three runs for $1.99 each and lost every single game. Am I just some fucking retard or what? I mean, I'm literate, I've got a great sense of humor, I'm witty, I have a college degree and a nice job. What the fuck is going on here? By the way, members here have helped me out as a coach and we get 4-5 wins and I really feel like I've learned important stuff. When I play by myself I lose NINE GAMES IN A ROW. Is this a rib? Am I dreaming? Or am I just some epic fucking retard? I don't even like using that word. The only times I ever use it are when I got steam coming outta my goddamn ears. Fuck this shit game. Spent $400 over two+ years and lose 9 fucking games in a row.
it's because you haven't made your sacrifice to the rng gods yet, travel to middle of the Amazon forest an hour before dawn, there you will observe a figure gleaming with near blinding light, it will be amaz floating in thin air below him a mass of people worshipping in a circle. When he shall kiss your forehead with his wet lips you shall be blessed forever

Completely and utterly frustrating. Really sorry to hear that. I used to be terrible at Arena, and I'm still not great but here are a few tips for you. I hope it takes some of the sting out of your repeated losses.
1. Don't spend real money on Arena. Do your dailies and earn gold on Tavern Brawl. Tavern Brawl is usually easy and fun. Then use gold only for Arena.
2. Pick Paladin, Mage, or Shaman/Warlock - in that order.
3. Use heartharena.com to pick your cards. Do not pick your own cards. Do not ignore Heartharena's advice for card choice unless you really, really know what you're doing.
4. Arena is totally different to the other play modes. Make sure you play on curve wherever possible. It makes all the difference, even more than the other modes.

I think the frist few words of your post should be able to answer your question.... I'd find it normal to lose more than usual at 4.30 a.m. since you're an human being and need to sleep.... Also I wouldn't keep playing after losing 6 in a row, you were clearly tilting you should have gone to bed....
You do something completely wrong. I did 258 runs since I started to track my results and went 0-3 only once. Try to watch top arena streamers like ADWCTA and Merps, Hafu, Shadybunny. Use heartharena. Use deck tracker or Overwolf overlay. As f2p player I can't recommend coaching or playing arena for real money :) Pick Mage, Paladin and Druid as much as possible since all of this classes are good and often straightforward to play. Rogue is one of the strongest classes, but hardest to play, I started to use it regularly when I was close to infinite arena already and my first runs were still terrible (but now it's my 1-2 class with mage and I'm infinite because of Rogue). Try to take you time every turn to realise every possible play, don't make first play you see, because your instincts can go wrong. As I can see, you not very strong in terms of psychology, so when you lose, wait couple of minutes before start next game, so you will not be angry when you go 0-2 for example and will not make terrible missplays. Sometimes you start 0-2 and finish 12-2 because your deck is still good and you still in a good shape.
aaaaand another thread were you whine about your arena losses
c'mon bro, you seem to not have what it takes, to be succesful in the arena - so what? go ahead and play the game modes, where you can do well, arena seems to be not your kind of turf
3. Use heartharena.com to pick your cards. Do not pick your own cards. Do not ignore Heartharena's advice for card choice unless you really, really know what you're doing.
This! Are you kidding me, how is Sir MOGOR CHARGE over here gonna learn if he/she mindlessly picks cards? I would recommend that they pick as they kinda see fit, and if they are not sure THEN head over to internet resources to confirm things. Every deck is different and sadly heartharena or any other website cannot know this. Their picks are good guidelines but you must take into account curve, minor synergies and whether these synergies make it worth picking an overall worse card etc.. Human initiative is a wonderful thing that you are totally ignoring.

Echoing other people, I'd say that the loses are more due to tilt than lack of skill (also the time you're playing at). If you get unlucky a few games, you get tilted, and tend to make questionable plays (playing into AOE, going all in, just making inefficient plays without thinking them through). I think your deck looks okay, it's got some weak cards but it's not a deck that would go under 5 wins usually. Rogue is one of the harder classes to play and draft effectively in arena as well, so don't be down on yourself because of that. I've gotten tilted too against Paladins with 4 of all their insane cards, Mages with 3 Flamestrikes, Dr. Boom, RNG in general, etc. My advice is to take a break from arena for awhile until you feel that you're ready to go again. Slow down with drafting, look at your curve and card quality and think of what card would benefit your deck most, aim for more 3-4 drops than 1 drops and make sure you don't end up without any late game. When playing, don't be too greedy with your mulligan. Keep solid 3- drops (and 4- drops with the coin). Manage your mana efficiently and think over your play before you do something you can't reverse--this is especially important for Rogue because there are often a lot of ways to sequence your turns. Like I said earlier, don't play into AOE if you don't feel you have to, usually trading is correct in arena unless you're setting up guaranteed lethal next turn or you have damage in hand. I'm sure you've heard all this before but I found when I started arena that it was helpful to think about these things as I played and drafted, you'd be surprised how much slowing down can help.
Good luck in the future, and if you go 0-3 again, I'd take a break before jumping into another arena run. You don't realize how tilted you get until after the game's done and you think of all the mistakes you made for no reason.

What is Overwolf? Could you link me to it? Just did a Google search and didn't come up with much...

I should say Heartharena Companion actually :) Overwolf is service which offers overlays for some games. For Hearthstone it's Heartharena Companion, which allows you not to type every card manually and in game works like worse version of deck tracker (didn't track your opponents cards and not show possible secrets). http://store.overwolf.com/app/HearthArena.com-HearthArena-Companion

One good rule is to stop playing once you have lost X number of games in a row. For me that number is 3 - I stop playing and go away for at least one hour to do something else before coming back to play again. The reason for this is because you are unlikely to be in an optimal frame of mind to play well when you are pissed at having lost so many times. It might also be that your mind is just not working at full capacity. You playing at 4.30am speaks volumes - you can't expect to play well if you're sleepy.

Take some time off. Close the game, relax. Maybe go to a nearby park and exercise, or read a book in a well lit-room.
Then, come back...
for another 0-3.

Play at the evenings, easiest time to win. Do not recommend playing arena in morning/late night.

keep buying decks till you get an exact copy of secret pala then you play and go 0-3 again noob
Your draft is terrible, 5 1 drops
JamieFTW1505, AndreiLux, Prudence94, Ven_gyr, thanks for the advice and tips. I'll keep plugging along.
Before you can win in Arena, you must first sacrifice an Angry Chicken to RNGesus.
Its fangs are in your flesh before its hiss leaves your ears.
Golden Heroes: Druid -> Rogue -> Shaman -> Hunter -> Warlock

I wish Valeera had tentacles for arms
Also, you can look at the card tier lists on http://www.icy-veins.com/hearthstone/arena-guides or http://www.heartharena.com/tierlist but don't just pick the highest ranked card because everything is relative. I'd say only use these lists if you're stuck between 2 really good cards and can't decide which one fits better.
