I just played an URF game where i suspect 4 out of 5 enemy players were botting/scripting

I've never seen anything like it. The only champion i didn't suspect was their Talon, as he actually showed a few human traits throughout the match - hesitation, surprise, panic flashing, fail flashing, etc.

The rest of their team? We're talking microsecond reaction times, never missing any spells, perfect orbwalking and extremely mechanical movement - they would randomly change target mid-fight, doing an instant 180 even if they were about to kill their current target. They would interrupt basic attacks to throw a spell in the opposite direction.

Once again, i've never seen anything like it. Never mind that this was an URF game - at least 4 players ON THE SAME TEAM?

Now i've gotten familiar with these things playing ARAM late at night, but i never thought i'd see anything like it on Summoner's rift.

I'm not trying to start a witch hunt anything, but their average rank is gold 1. They all had the exact same behaviour in-game and exact same "suspicious" traits, not to mention their reactions and aiming were all better than anything i've ever seen playing ranked games throughout Diamond.

I have the replay file on hand but don't really know of any file sharing sites i could embed into the boards, not to mention how it might potentially invoke the naming & shaming rule.

I should add at that in the beginning of the match, i had no idea - the longer the match went on, the more "mechanical" the opponents' movements - they would begin moving ever more rigid, never taking "round" paths (even to dodge attacks or spells) and simply walking... Linearly. As if following a grid.

Cheating in urf though. That's low.

If you didn't report them in game, go to the support center and report them via ticket. There's an option for reporting when you have to choose what you're there for.

Give them as much information as you can, such as summoner names, a link to their match history, and what they were doing. I believe you can also attach the replay file right to the ticket, though Riot already has access to all games so I don't think it's needed.

For future reference, if you feel someone is scripting just report them through the in-game report feature for 3rd party applications. Riot has ways to detect if someone is indeed scripting and from the influx of "banned for 3rd party apps" threads that happens every month or so, it works.
