Common Mistakes
The most frequent mistakes made by Devastation Evoker players who have reached 1,845+ rating, based on automated match analysis.
Used Quell but did not interrupt anyone. Missing your kick is bad on two levels. First, your interrupt is on cooldown for 15 to 24 seconds depending on your class, so you can't stop anything dangerous that comes next. Second, because of Precognition, the enemy player is now uninterruptible for a few seconds. So not only can you not kick them, your teammates can't either. They just get to freecast. If you're a melee tunneling a caster, your interrupt is one of the main reasons you're even a threat to them. Casters already have an inherent advantage because they can position wherever they want and always deal damage. If you're getting faked constantly, you're removing one of the tools that makes you dangerous to them. You don't want to be the kind of player that's easy to fake. You need to play the mind game properly and not be so predictable that casters just bait your kick every time.

Broke Sleep Walk (desc=Green) on the enemy healer. Diminishing returns only go to half duration now, there's no third application. If your Mage Polymorphs the healer and you break it immediately, the next Poly is half duration and then they're immune. Your entire Polymorph chain gone off one broken CC. It gets worse when you think about how hard it can be for your teammate to land that CC in the first place. Your Mage is getting trained, finally finds the window to sheep, and you break it. Now they have to survive long enough to try again at half duration. Some CC have long cooldowns too. Freezing Trap is 25 seconds, Blind is two minutes. Break a Blind on the healer and you've burned a major cooldown for nothing. Arena is about momentum. The enemy team plays their CC clean while yours keeps getting broken, and you fall behind in trades with no way to catch up.

Died with Renewing Blaze (desc=Red) available. This is probably the single most common mistake that leads to losses in arena. There's no worse way to lose a game than dying with a defensive available. It's the most frustrating thing that can happen, even in serious rated 3v3 with a proper team. Nothing tilts teammates more than watching someone die with cooldowns still up. If you had pressed it and stayed alive, you stay in the game and maybe you win. Dying like this is the most avoidable loss condition in arena and it should be the first mistake anyone tries to eradicate from their play.
1.1x / game
Let teammate die with Rescue available. If your teammate dies and you had an ability that could have kept them alive, you're equally responsible for that death. You can't just blame your teammate for dying when you were sitting on a cooldown that would have saved them. This is one of the ways you carry in arena. Using your tools to keep your team alive is just as important as doing damage. It's not as bad as dying with your own defensives up, but it's up there. You could have kept the game going and you didn't. Take equal responsibility.
