I have another similar issue (though possibly not related, hard to tell).
I got negative Arena points for a win:

I submitted the bug report, but it was never addressed, and now the Arena season has ended. I guess it's something people don't want to happen again (possibly to them), so it should be addressed. I am here to gather support. Bug link:

I already commented this in our ingame discussion chat: Maybe the issue happens when somebody uses a vacation joker. Stat thinking time might not influenced by it but end of season it calculates it in. (Not saying this would be a perfect solution at all)

I had 4 games running, 3 were counted as lost, which made me lose 60 arena points and about the same amount of elo.
I am quite sure that I did not have the longest thinking time, because these games all lasted quite long, and I was quite available during the last weeks, but I cannot prove it, because the games are still ongoing (and I am not going to abandon them).
The games have now finished, I won 3 out of them. The fun fact is, they are not counted as victories, neither of these 4 games. My game number increased, but the number of victories stayed the same.
Apparently all this is still very buggy.

It's because these games had switched to Friendly Mode at the end of Arena season. Games in Friendly Mode increase number of games only, they don't increase number of wins on the XP tab of your profile. It's either a bug or a bad design, but it's not directly connected to the problems, that plagued last Arena season.

Interesting. So while in friendly games you don't win nor lose elo, which I perfectly understand, your winning percentage goes down no matter you win or not, because only the number of games increases but not the number of victories. If this isn't a bug, it's a bad design, at least in my opinion.
