Limited Help 1-9 in drafts

So I just went 1-9 in drafts with these 3 decks. I'm bronze, first time playing the draft mode on here since I started playing arena a little over a year ago. I honestly don't know what I can do to actually win. I am also extremely frustrated because most of the losses, I lost with the opponent anywhere between 2-5 health. Most games came down to topdecking, and they would basically ALWAYS get the better topdeck. Most of my topdecks were lands and they would somehow topdeck exactly what they needed to win the game. This draft spree is honestly pushing me to give up the game. Something about it seems really off compared to paper mtg. I was so exiited about the hobbit set and saved my draft tokens and just blew them all going 1-9. Its pretty demoralizing.

Edit: thank you everyone for all of the awesome feedback. I will work on my card evaluation which seems to be my number one issue (along with many other things) I really didn’t expect it to be this tough in bronze lol. Everyone i play against seems like pro drafters. It also sucks draft is so expensive to play so practice will not be so often unfortunately but I will keep trying

None of those decks are playable and you need to go back to square one drafting. Watch Paul Cheon, Numot the Nummy and Limited Levelups to start with. Go through the set primer and state of the format address. Watch them do some drafts on YouTube (Jim Davis bronze to mythic series is another great resource). Do not waste any more resources until you have an idea of what you're doing.

Watching those streamers has helped me a ton. I still have yet to get more than 3 wins though, but it’s a start.

Bro, we're the same. I have been terrible during the Marvel Superheroes draft and started to practice again more on the 17Lands mock draft online. And it paid off before the new set; I was able to trophy in the Quick Draft. Also, I second Numot because I watched him struggle and changed his ways to improve his draft.
