Before the Witchwood, I have been able to get 5 to 8 wins consistently but now I can't even get more than 3 wins. like seriously everyone became fucking kripp or wtf is going on?
Well, it would appear that you didnt manage to adjust to current meta yet. There is also still an abnormal amount of very specific high quality cards being offered for each class (Spikeridged Steed in paladin for example), so i will admit that lucky draft does play a part to an extent, but anyone who just comes here and says "qqq i cant win no more, whats wrong with the game qqq" should probably take a look in the mirror first.
You can check this thread - Arena Witchwood Meta Report / Class Tier List - where we have a discussion about how the arena looks atm, tho some of the info might be slightly inaccurate after the recent hotifx, that was aimed to target the insane offering rates of rare cards, which were causing the most problems.
The amount of draft RNG has vastly increased due to the bucket system. It is now possible to get screwed by the number of low tier buckets you draft or the number of high tier buckets your opponent drafted. In those situations, even an idiot can't go wrong when their choice is spikeridged steed / vinecleaver / consecration, because they're ALL good cards. It used to be that the difference between a very strong deck and a very weak deck was low enough that a skilled player could still defeat the stronger deck most of the time, but now if you get a bad deck, the good decks have so much more value that even an idiot can't lose to you. My average win rate in other expansions has varied from 5.5 to 6.6, with roughly 6 overall, and so far in this expansion it's 4.3 in 18 runs. The number of bullshit topdecks, RNG, and just plain abysmal drafts I've seen this expansion would fill the 200 page salt thread on its own.
I skipped the time where people were being offered 5+ legendaries in arena and apparently there's still some kind of increased offer rate of strong cards and legendaries?
I'm sure as hell not seeing it. Only ~65 point decks for me and the occasional 70+ which then typically always gets stomped by unfair decks/rng.

I actually feel like Arena becamer much easier (for me)... played 2 times Arena in the new expansion and went 9-3 with a Priest and 11-3 with a Mage.

This current arena state is
G A R B A G E
I never experienced something that bad in arena before.
On the third day before Witchwood, Blizzard gave to me,
three Handlock decks,
two Molten Giants
and a winstreak to Legend Rank #3
