I have no evidence of this, but sometime around the release of LOE I felt like the offering rate of Legendary cards went up in Arena. Just a general feeling I had that I started getting offered one in every 3-4 runs instead of every 6-8 runs.
I also think arena is particularly difficult right now because a lot of players the more casual arena players are saving their gold to buy Old Gods packs on release instead of using arena to earn existing packs. This has reduced the pool of players to have a greater percentage be top tier players where a minor mistake will be severely punished.
Ive been having the opposite effect. This last week ive averaged around 7-8 wins when my normal win rate is around 5-6. Its only a few games but its been noticeable.
Don't forget not only Legendaries, also classes that got the most out of LoE are much stronger than before: LoE-Cards have a 25% higher chance to show up than cards from other expansions. This and for now not many players play arena nowaday, simply because most player save their gold for LoE. So there are now many players who have much experience or have the money to quit the deck if it's a bad deck and retry the draft until they get a good one.

Just went 1-3 with what I thought was a decent Warrior deck... Lost for the third time against a Warlock with Jaraxxus and Ysera FeelsBadMan

The average user saves his gold, so you will face more guys who know what they are doing.
