Games : Are there any Smite hacks in the wild?

I was playing Smite last night any noticed someone who I think was hacking. He was playing Apollo and he was moving around the map in a very punctuated style, almost like he was lagging. Several times he used his dash (his third ability) and dashed much, much farther than he should be able to (almost half the distance from one tower to the other in Conquest game mode), leading to us not being able to chase him.

At another point, he was down to ~10% health and over the course of ~8-10 seconds, he ran away and came back at full health and was using his ult. Obviously his ult allows him to travel at a high rate of speed across the map, but the fact that he was so low on health, was running away (not teleporting) from the middle of map on the left lane, and came back at full health maybe 10 seconds later leads me to believe it wasn't done within the normal boundaries of the game.

Additionally, and I know this doesn't imply hacking but taken together with the other observations it's another possible indicator, his name was all squares (possibly Unicode chars that don't show up in the US version, or maybe he just chose a Unicode square character?).

I don't have a replay of the video, so the only thing I was able to do was report his account for possible hacking.

Do HiRez take hacking reports seriously? Have they ever banned accounts for hacking? Are there any hacks in the wild that are used at various levels of play?
