For warzone, I don't believe that game has any sort of MMR, so the situation is a little different there compared to most other games people stream on twitch. Warzone seems to be especially bad, even when compared with other games in it's genre.

There's also another issue where some people play with devices like Cronus which are borderline cheats and essentially hardware scripts (better/no recoil control, scripted bunny hopping, that sort of thing).

Damn near all online games have some form of matchmaking algorithm, but the point of them is to maximize the time you spend in-game by learning your patterns. There's also matchmaking that intentionally puts you on a team with someone better tan you who has cosmetics you don't, so you hopefully associate being kickass with having that skin.

I wish I were making up that last one.
