Roleplay In Matches... Reportable or Unreportable?

So a while back in a Normals Game, I was given top lane while my duo partner did Jungle. We decided to have some fun and I roleplayed as Garen Garen and my Jungler went Jarvan IV JarvanIV, we had a Miss Fortune Attack Damage Carry MissFortune and a Blitzcrank SupportBlitzcrank (Key to the story). The champion select went smooth with us loading in and them having an Ahri Mid Ahri who fully reacted to our roleplaying as we talked on All Chat. Throughout the whole game we kept saying things that Garen and Jarvan IV would say (Me having to play Garen a lot I knew what to say), the match was pretty fun. The main problem with the match was the duo in bot giving us blame when we would loose a fight or fail at a duel, but we never gave up the act. At the end we won and the Miss Fortune and Blitzcrank kept telling us to shut up and report us for trolling, while the Ahri upvoted us and friend requested me. It made me think about it being reportable so the main question I have is would I have been properly reported for roleplaying a character in game or not? Thank you for reading this and hopefully I'll get a straight answer.

If you were exclusively saying lines that the champion says, there would be nothing you would have said that would have been reportable.

I like to do this with Bard

Literally all I will say in chat is "Honk"

... I don't think anyone in the game actually gets it. :\

I don't want to be reported for demanding a sandwich on Twitch.

Nope, you were just having fun. If they didn't like it, the mute button is there for a reason.

Not reportable, but fucking annoying I'll admit. They have /mute for a reason.

Not reportable. I happen to really enjoy doing this with certain characters. Specifically Thresh against a Lucian.

People need to learn to lighten up and have fun. I would have loved it personally, but i'm also the type that says silly things like champs hugging me too hard (looking at you there, enemy Blitz) or feeding Rengar or Nidalee fish if they don't get me.

It's a normal, as long as you're trying to win, roleplaying isn't trolling. Sure, it's not really conducive to winning since it's more typing than playing, but again, it's a normal. I'd have had fun with it, personally. I do it once in a blue moon in ARAMs. Usually with Mundo...
