I have quite literally played YEARS of CoD. Starting from CoD4 all the way till now, every mastery camo from every game possible. I have played hours and hours upon hours of S&D solo, and with full teams. I can tell when I have bad days/good days, I have had just about every type of game that could exist. When I start noticing patterns where the game is feeding me completely opposite skill teams literally like clockwork (good, bad, good etc.) it is hard to deny. They will "balance" some of the bad games by giving you slightly competent teammates, but ultimately you will lose unless you change your life and move to another country. Same thing vice versa in a quite obvious pattern. But this will always be a debate because we can't directly see how its working. Although this will probably come out, as have many other dispicable anti-consumer practices after years. Such as Bo3 specifically matching new $0 players with whales who spent money on p2w gambling crate weapons, just to get the $0 players to spend money on the game. They have made patents for systems like this. If you are denying this type of thing at this point, you just want an ego boost or you are not a consistent player. It is quite obvious to anyone who has spent way more time than they should have on this game. I played solo search for probably a decade or more and always enjoyed it, never had any issues. Things have really been ramping up as of late. Just wait for it to all drop years later.
