I do perceive some "swinginess" in my performance in Black Ops Cold War, but I'm not positive that it's actually real. Gamblers at the roulette table also perceive trends where in fact there is only random variance. It's also worth noting that this is only half of the complaints that you see on message boards about this game. The other half, or maybe the majority, is people saying, "I just want to be able to get high and use off-meta weapons and not lose to sweats (i.e. people who are trying) all night." This type of complaint is fundamentally a request to be matched against lower skilled players, and has nothing to do with the swinginess of matchmaking.

It sounds like a request to be matched appropriately to expected performance at times when they're deliberately sabotaging their ability, which is not that unreasonable except for the near-impossibility of doing so. They might even be able to achieve it by having a separate account for messing around while they're high and using dumb weapons.

  Something that could help would be to allow players to choose what server they play on. The server could then establish rules against tactics that are regarded as effective but unsportsmanlike. Casual servers could also choose to implement more aggressive rebalancing systems between rounds. Finally, players could choose to select servers that they know to have a more casual community.
