Ok, several games I've played I've been up and the other guy started moving like a sloss. I mean I found myself up like 4-6 minutes in time. Then BAM, all the sudden it feels like I'm playing a super computer. I mean dudes moving instantaneous. And then just slays me, I'm talking about calculated moves outta no where. What's happening, are the loading in and setting up loud game and using the computer against me? That's the only thing I can figure out. It's kinda taking the fun outta playing. Can someone help me understand? I mean, do I suck that bad or is there something to this coincidence that keeps happening?

If he's moving instantaneously, then he can't be using an engine. It takes time to transfer the moves from the web browser to the engine, to wait for it to calculate, and to transfer the reply back to the web browser.
Do you know what a "pre-move" is? That sounds like a much more likely explanation.

Well, it's not instant.... but it's a few seconds, maybe 5-10... but all the previous moves took several minutes. I mean I ran the report and I'm winning yup till that point, would be up on material and even have a missed win then, BAM.. it's literally like I'm playing the super computer.
It’s absolutely pointless to complain in the forums! You obviously suspect that some of your opponents are using engine assistance. So report the suspicious games to the people who can do something about it. No one in this forum can help you

I'm just confirming that this is a real thing... right? I'm not really one to complain, and I'm not a sore loser but if it walks like a duck and quacks it's a duck IMHO.... right? I guess I'll start reporting them. It's just disheartening to sit and watch the clock for a few minutes when you know your fixing to win and then BAM... the tables are mysteriously turned. I've been meaning to ask this here for a few weeks but haven't. Thanks for everyone's input.
