Whenever i go above 135 on DL i fuck up my form. What am I doing wrong? Everytime I lift I get someone to form check me they always say my form was bad I've even recorded myself and played it back and of course I had cat back. I just can't seem to get it right even though I practice a lot and read/watch videos on proper form

You know what the issue is, at least. Poor form. Try a personal trainer or a coach. Ask someone who is good at diddlies for some tips. Use Valsalva technique to make a tight and compressed core.
Are you eating enough? Keeping the bar in the center of mass?

To continue with an anecdote, my DLs increased the most in my first 2 months of SS. Not sure what your issue is.

Is the bar touching your shins at the beginning of the lift? If you're struggling with rounding back you may just have the bar too far away from you at the start.

Compare your starting form to what you see in videos. Look at foot placement, angle of knees, angle of hips/back.
Make sure you are as close to the bar as possible throughout the entire movements. Before lifting, take a deep breath in and keep your belly full of air through the entire movement before letting it out at the ground. Keep your chest up.
When in the bottom position, focus on squeezing your hamstring and glutes. If you can't flex your hammies/glutes, google around to try to improve your "hamstring activation".
You should know all of this if you've read around and watched videos. Just compare what you're doing to what they are. If you can't figure it out, share the video with us; we can't help you if we can't see ur chit lifts.

do you go to uni?
does your uni have a good PL team?
Our uni's PL team has won a bunch of comps nationally and alot of the guys go to poland and shit to compete.
just get one of them to watch your form and offer tips

post the video faggot

Your hamstrings might also be super inflexible. Try and focus on keeping your lower back (lumbar) in extension. Ideally you would keep it straight and flat but you won't be able to hyperextend your shit anyway from the sound of it

Your legs should be bleeding after deadlifts. There should be bruises on your thighs as well. Anything else is a mistake
