Can I be banned if I let my friend play on my account in strictly normal or bot games?

My friend is worse than me, but doesn't have his own computer to create a profile on.

Account sharing is a bannable offense

This. It doesn't matter whether the other person plays Normals, Ranked, ARAM, or RGM, it can result in your account being permanently suspended.

The best thing to do would be have your friend create their own account and use it on your computer. There is absolutely no reason they should have to use your account at all. Just avoid the potential ban and have them create a fresh account and play on it, problem solved.

No one other than the original account creator is allowed to use an account for any reason.

Sadly yes, even in bot games.

Technically yes, but if it's on your account at your house it's not really going to set off any flags. Stay out of ranked and absolutely do not give out your password.

You are responsible for your friends behavior however so if he trolls or is toxic you could end up with a ban or losing your account entirely. As others have suggested it might be a better idea just to have him set up an account at your house and he can play on that and then all his accomplishments will be recorded rather then getting mixed in with yours.

Yes, it's still in violation of the rules.

It is still account sharing, whether it is a normal game or not. Being a normal game doesn't change that.
