Multiplayer Shooting games, game of skill or purely luck ?

Hey guys,
I play a lot of multiplayer shooting games mostly Call Of Duty. I have discovered that i always have good and bad days. Like, sometimes i get really good stats and win every match and sometimes i get really bad Kill/Death ratios and spreads and never win a game.
Do you think it is purely about luck?
Where it spawns you? Are you in the right place at the right time?
I think ping affects the game a lot. When I have bad ping I always come out of matches with bad Kill Death ratios. Of course, reflexes play a huge role in multiplayer shooting games. But sometimes you just can't do anything when it spawns you near and enemy and once you start moving they kill you instantly. I have experienced that many times... I don't really know if these games are only about skills.
Even a pro player gets killed by campers and spawnkillers and etc...
What do you think?

I think it's a mix skill and luck. Because you need luck to get kills.
And don't forget that in a FPS if you're lucky that means that the other player is unlucky and vice-versa.

Ping is a very big factor.Get a ping of over 150 and you are screwed.I promise you.Well at least happens to me.Mostly its skill though and sometimes even the weapons you don :) But sometimes you get the OMFGBBQ kill and sometimes you get the 5 kill streak not ironsighted on like hardcore which always happens to me.Happens all the the time.Definitely skill tho
