This happens regularly and not due to cheats.
A number of things can cause a good head start on a team that ended up being weaker overall. It could be that someone on the losing side stepped up to start shot calling. It could be that the limit breaks on the losing team lined up a lot better.
I personally end up being the first death almost always because waiting around behind a wall for 30 seconds isn't fun. So I zoom into the enemy ranks just to get things moving. I don't obviously try to die, but I accept that it's the usual outcome. But at least people start combating. Such a death can usually put the enemy team at a starting advantage but honestly I play BLM in PvP so on respawn I am on the backlines where I should have been anyway, and while not always, usually turn it around for victory.

There is a countless number of things that can cause a turnaround like you describe and I don't think my teammates suddenly start cheating.
That isn't to say that cheaters don't exist. They should all be banned imo.
