Seriously, it's like a box filled with rage for me.
I'm by no means the best player there is, far from it, but how mad I get at the game is not healthy at all. I'm currently on a loss streak of like 8 games, went from rank 9 to God knows what, just wanted to punch a hole my the wall.
My rage mainly stems from these reasons:
I always feel like the opponent ALWAYS has the perfect card to counter what I play. Fucking always. Doesn't matter if it's turn 1 or turn 8, LOLNOPE, countered and something else on the board. It's like... I bait out a priests 2 Shadow Word Death, and then I use a strong minion. NOPE, then I have 2 mind controls or holy fires to counter it with instead, or something stupid as Shrinkmeister+Cabal Shadow Priest.
Losing to classes I know are considered "subpar" for the moment. It just hurts too much losing 2 or 3 games in a row to underpowered classes.
Knowing I've been rank 5 before, and nowdays I'm just hovering around 13-14-15 most of the time.
Seriously, how can I stop getting mad at this game? It's fun until I lose like 10 games in a row :/
its called tilting. i also rage hard because i get bad matchups and RNG. that is just how card games are. it didnt used to be so much based on RNG but now with GvG it def has an even larger role. when you start to lose, if you get too pissed, stop immediately. if you are under control, play until you win one game, just one. then take a break, get a drink, and go masturbate. after you are calm, review your decks and mess around with them. while you are playing, pay more attention to what cards are being used and what your opponent is doing. if he is highlighting stuff you can kinda get a glimpse of what is to come. remember that if you are losing badly, it is just how the game goes, even if its 20 losses in a row. it isnt your fault, you cant control your hand or the opponents, or RNG in general.
You have to adapt to the meta... Priests are very strong just now as are Control Warrior and Aggro Hunter. I play mainly Ramp Druid and when I start losing a few matches in a row I try and either tweak my deck to suit the decks I'm playing against or switch to a more aggressive deck.
You may also be on tilt. I suggest taking a break and trying to create a brand new original deck (no net decking) to try and beat the decks you're currently facing.
If that doesn't work just throw your PC out of the window.
priests are extremely powerful now. they are one of the more annoying classes to play anyway lol. esp now that they have so many different OP cards, you never know what theyre going to use exactly. I played them all day on my control warrior though, and won just as much as i lost against them, with every single game going to fatigue

Check out my decks & feel free to make suggestions!
I also try to get better at this game. I think I play best, when I'm really thinking about, what my opponents deck strategy could be and how this game could turn out. Like this I think you beginn to lock at the cards differently and so mabey not just play them, because they seem strong at the moment.
Also when I watch streams of pro players, they always seem to know when a game will go to fatigue, meaning they know what cards the opponent most likley will have and then adjust their gameplan.
I dont know, these are just thoughts, I'm not that good of a player (best was Rank 9 for me)
What you are missing is the fact that previously legend players are playing at ranks below 10 right now.
Because they were playing arena before GvG, and now they are getting back on ranked to try the new cards. So the competition is much harder. I just played an legend player on rank 19 with control warrior, while I (also legend before) was trying a tempo pally.
So yeah, its pretty normal to loose games at low ranks right now.
Then you have to realise that priest is a great class right now and the most frustrating class to play against. So its pretty normal that you tilt. It happened to me alot when i was pushing to legend. Right now it only happens when i get less than 5 wins in arena. And that happens more than i would like :(
I suggest taking a break for a while. I did, the game had gotten boring and frustrating for me, was locked at Rank 5 at best for too long, after playing since early Beta. I'm clever enough to realise I'm not an amazing player, I'll never run a twitch channel :D But I also know I'm not bad at all, I'd say above average to decent.
Took a break, actually, forgot about the game pretty much for a few weeks, and only just returned to check out the new expansion. I think it's gave the game a new lease of life, it's refreshing, rng/random stuff an' all! I've seen how excited the top streamers got about the new cards, and I think that's great! I think they should do this every few months. Demons V Dragons next!!

I thought ranks were based on your previous season? But yeah, might be that, I've never been this roflstomped before...
I started at rank 9 today and now I'm 1 loss from rank 18...
Yeah. Just take a break. Ex-legend players all start outside of legend at the beginning of the season so they are playing against you. It's tough right now. You can also watch some of their streams to cool off. Seriously, watching them really helps because you see them lose to the same bs and you feel a lot better because it even happens to pros. You aren't the only one struggling right now.
And they are, but if you get to legend you start at rank 15 or so. And if you get to legend several seasons ago its pretty normal to be at rank 20 or so if you've only played arena
Getting mad about this game is a very real and big part of my life now. Trust me no matter how high rank you will get it will always be the same. All you have to do is embrace it. Embrace the rage and learn to live with it.

It's not only priests, though.
For instance, I lost to like 4 warriors in a row earlier today...as a warrior.
I'm currently testing Nuba's (?) decks, which you can find in the class forums, which people seem to like, for priest, warlock, warrior and paladin.
But I do know that I have to get "better". I just don't know how to. Think that will solve a LOT of my anger problems.

Shit, that's exactly what happened to me. =(
I bring life and pffffffffffffff!

You can try to get better at this game. Might not work though, it depends on individual.
"Put your face in the light!" - Tirion Fordring
I suggest exercising after you really get mad to get rid of rage.
Next time when you lose three games in a row you should just stop playing. Go watch something else then comeback later/tomorrow.
Same way you stop getting mad at everything else.
