New Script on the Rift?

Two games in a row now I've observed enemy laners exhibiting really odd behaviour. They'll sit under the forward turret, AA'ing minions but never moving or using abilities. If that turret gets destroyed early enough, they'll move back to the middle turret and repeat the same behaviour there. In both games a real player who would buy items, move, and use abilities eventually connected to play the champ. In one game, the player blamed the weird early-game behaviour on "lag" but he or she never communicated anything at all early on. I reported one of them but I wasn't quite as certain about the other instance so I let it slide.

Has anybody else observed this? Is this some new, (albeit kind of lousy) script I'm seeing or what?

I've seen that behaviour too, it may be a new script that's out or a really wierd strategy... they still love that midlane though.

I've seen a small surge in strange happenings on dominion. Not sure if they are bots/scripts. They will do absolutely terrible like a bot but yet they will speak once in a while. And I don't mean terrible as in bad mechanics. I mean 0/10 straight out feeding with bot-like item builds. But unlike you have seen they do use abilities. All the time. No real combos though. Just a mashing of abilities. Which will lead to them KSing once in a while if their abilities land.

I don't know if they are designing scripts to type in chat now or what. It's weird. Assuming these are bots, I imagine they are going to be much harder to detect.

Dude, hearing that is scary. I might have seen some people like, I'm not sure as I don't usually bother with other lanes. There was this one Ahri that was a bit odd but she was dead when me and the adc ganked mid, so never examined her properly. I usually scan the map when i see funny icon movement but she would always die by the time I checked. Didn't see her build tho.
