Player frozen but game still moves in real time. Persists after match end

I experienced a game freeze as if I was about to disconnect from the server, but I was about to continue looking around and the game around me was continuing. Killfeed was updating but not clearing old entries, top bar is completely frozen except for the killstreak notification and flame effects, chat was updating as usual, but I was unable to move or use abilities. I'm not sure how this looked from the other player's perspectives, but to me I was immortal and just taking random pings of damage, presumably from minions. This freeze continued after the match had ended, but I had no indication that the match had ended. Going to the menu (accessible) and clicking Leave Match took me to the end screen. Finally, going back to the spawn room had the killfeed stuck on my HUD. Very bizarre set of events.

Same exact thing happened to me but in street brawl.

Couldn't unstick, couldn't console command kill, persisted beyond game end, had to leave match for it to end and then had the killfeed while in the hideout. In my case however I could tell from the effects and sound that I died and respawned, plus I noticed I was still able to chat (and people responded). So it seems like its just the camera and character models that are stuck, everything else continues to function (I could even see when the Haze near me would go invisible)

Replying to say that this is also happening to me. It starts by freezing the same way in both clips but comes back after 15-30 seconds and it does this a few times and then eventually disconnects me.
