The fact that top players get 10+ wins consistently more often than one out of every twenty tries flies in the face of your reasoning. As does the rarity of unskilled players making double digits.

You are starting with a conclusion -- that there is no skill in Arena -- and are throwing out pretty much meaningless numbers and stats to back that up. Heck, Blizzard playing with the numbers reduces variance: if cards that heavily impact win rate (both favorably, like Bonemare, and unfavorably, like ancient Watcher) are less likely to show up, then draft luck is less impactful on your overall result.

But that is irrelevant. Draft variance has always been a thing in card games, and always will be. RNG variance in terms of e.g. draws has always been a thing in card games, and always will be. If this bothers you, perhaps you shouldn't be playing card games.
