Can you get banned for getting a lot of kills as support?

So I like to play aggressive support. Recently my ADC started blaming me in ksing, when i was getting kills. I can understand, he was sitting with that 1/3 and those two kills might have helped him, but he did nothing for those kills. I burned my flash, ignite, ult and almost died when he just dashed there and tried to last hit (and died at the end). If he was good ADC, I would give him kill. its reasonable. But if he makes bad decisions, he cannot use that advantage. So I kept getting kills if I had opportunity. He said he will report me and I didn't mind as I don't get reported and my account is clean of bad records and his report will not hurt me. So my question is: will it really hurt me if my ADC reports me after game for ks? Considering that there was no ks. Do they actually watch games before banning?

Short answer: No you cannot be banned for taking kills and anyone who tells you so is lying.

Long answer: When playing an aggressive support (like Zyra or Vel'Koz) taking kills is inevitable. Although getting fed is really nice, the kills in the botlane should be more or less evenly distributed if you're playing a high-octane support. If you're playing a more 'classic' support (like Janna or Soraka) feel free to take some kills but be sure your ADC gets more than you since they need gold more than you do. Supports are built around surviving off of what little income they get, so taking all the kills when you don't need them defeats the purpose. In the long run, your ADC will use the kill gold way more than you will since they depend on items way more. In fact, it's really nice when the support gets first blood cuz then they get Sighstone super early.

Actually, the game rewards you with an S rank

Any player that does this will likely have done it a hundred+ times in the past.

Since they're so trigger-happy with their reports, their reports are weighted next to zero so you have nothing to worry about.

Number 1 rule of Solo kill is to KS fuckin everything. Even if you have to flash for it, you ks that shit.

Taking some kills as a Support is not punishable. Do what you can to work with your team, but if you get a few more kills than normal don't worry about it. As long as you aren't trying to troll your team by doing so there won't be an issue (except for a few salty carries).

Playing "badly" is not a bannable offense, if anything.

Taking kills when supporting will get you thanks and adoration from your teammates, especially roaming to every lane and also taking their kills and minions.

You will feel joy when they shower you with thanks for leading them to victory with powerful healing attacks and supportive aura against the enemy.

It's perfectly fine to get kills. A kill is a kill. It grants whoever participated some gold. That's all that matters. Kills mean nothing by full build. Supports are encouraged to kill at that point in the game because one death can mean a lot.

Not at all it's just not meta, you're free to take smite and steal camps from your jungler at you still can't be banned since it's not against the rules, just off meta

Securing kills as support isn't a punishable offense. Now if you were verbally harassing the adc then that would be a different story. As long as you were actively playing for the win then nothing will happen. Just imagine how many people get reported for ridiculous things, riot simply doesn't care.
