You can get the profile URL from the scoreboard in case someone tries to dodge a support ticket
I thought this might be useful in case this happens to anyone else.
I just played a game against a hacker, No Mither + Tenacity, perfectly un-laggy until I picked them up. At which point they would lag so hard that it was impossible to hook or drop them. This happened multiple times throughout the game. I opened their profile during the game so I can get the SteamID64 later to make a support ticket with additional video evidence.
The lookup tool however told me that no such profile exists, and when I checked the link Steam told me the same thing. No such profile exists. No profile, no SteamID64, no additional report. They changed their profile URL to avoid getting reported.
However, even if someone does this to stop you from making a support ticket with their SteamID64, you can get the current link to their profile from the in-game scoreboard. Click on them in the scoreboard, then "VIEW PROFILE" and it will always link you to their profile even if they change their URL and username.
Which by the way, this person has done. Apparently immediately after the game they changed their URL, from random letters to different random letters, and their username. At this point I think it should be pretty obvious that they were indeed hacking and not just randomly lagging at perfect times, while running the perfect build for when the killer is unable to hook you.
@Rizzo90 helped me out on Discord and told me that I have to get the SteamID64 before they change their profile URL, which I was able to do by opening their profile from the scoreboard.
Keep this in mind in case you ever come across a similar situation, you can get the new URL from the scoreboard and then from that you can get the SteamID64, which can't be changed.
And in case the person recognizes themselves in this post, get rekt.

I'm a little confused about the difference between URL and SteamID64. The URL is the link to the profile right?
So were do you get the SteamID?

The same works somehow also in the steam forums.
I had argue a lot with survivors about a patch from bhvr in the steam forums for a year so.
Accidentally I realized that steam-forum names also changed in old threads and postings, if someone was changing his name.
On this way I could track the survivors down, who trying to "rise" their numbers to get more listen by bhvr/or to talk the other side down, with changing their names every day.
