It happens a lot.
You're not as far ahead as you think you are if a turn 7 bonemare ends the game.
Realistically most games that lose to bonemare you have like 65% equity and slamming down the bonemare reduces you down to like 40-45%. Huge swing for sure, but the game is designed to have enough RNG to make you think you're way further ahead than you think you are and lets you blame luck when you lose.
A lot of arena games when you are far ahead are just you going first and drawing a bunch of good curve cards and letting you think you outplayed the other guy, when in reality there weren't too many other outcomes when two decent people play each other anyway. Being far ahead and then losing to bonemare isn't a legit complaint unless you can identify times where they clearly misplayed, because their play from the start might just be okay my hand sucks let's try to survive until bonemare.
It's like people that complain about Ult Infestation against druids when they don't bother changing their strategy up at all in higher wins. You can almost assume they have it, so you have to play an aggro all in type game to stand a chance instead of a normal value trade game. Sure some decks can't do that at all, but some can and still just play the normal value trade game and think they're "winning" because they have board and slight card advantage on turn 7-8, but yeah you're going to lose later so you're not really winning. That's really the difference between people who average 6 wins and those that average 7 wins.
