During the last match I've played (match ID 2564071, Europe region, approx 12:53) the server began lagging heavily after reaching the lane. I thought it was just me at first so I alt-tabbed briefly to see what was causing the issue, but then I've noticed other players complaining about it too. A short bit after those initial lag spikes the issue seemed resolved and the match proceeded like normal, however, some stuttering appeared again near the "end" of the match.
...And this is where the truly bizarre part starts. I've said "end" in quotes because while our team did destroy the enemy patron and we got the usual game end screen, the game brought me back to the main menu screen and, immediately after, a pop up saying the Deadlock network was down appeared at the top. I've closed the game, then opened it back up and the Deadlock network was still intermittently on and off, however, during those times it was reachable, I noticed something weird: the match I had just played didn't show up in my match history. Then, after the network stabilized itself and was consistently up, I noticed the game gave me the option to rejoin or leave a game in the main menu, even if I hadn't requeued for a new match after that last one.
Clicking rejoin brought me to that last match in a bugged game state, with the enemy patron already destroyed, creeps not moving and all my but one of my teammates stuck bumping into to a wall, all looking in the same direction. Most of the HUD is hidden and no game audio can be heard, except for a low whistling ambient noise. The game apparently did not end and there was no way to do so it in this state, meaning the only option I had was to abandon it - which still didn't seem to end it properly as doing so didn't make it pop up in the match history.
