Can you get in trouble for accepting being called a troll?

If I pick an off-meta champ that I'm alright with in ranked, and the rest of the team starts calling me a troll in champ select, in [ALL] chat, telling the enemy team to report me for picking ____ , can I just roll with it or will I get in trouble via the chatlogs or something?

What I mean is, I'll play normally and try my best to win but say

RandomPlayer: omg you troll report Lux for picking Lux top Lux (me): Yep I'm a troll, gonna troll you so hard m8

Can I do this or do I have to keep telling them I'm not trolling in the chat to make me not look like a silent troll in the logs?

Whenever those type of players start calling "troll" from champ select I feel like I don't get to have a bad game, they can go 0/11/0 but it's ok because they picked something meta like Xin Jungle. If, on the other hand, AP Corki mid doesn't go to well "Report corki for picking corki mid"

I haven't been banned yet but it would ease the stress to know if I could mess with them like that or not because it's annoying if I have to either get yelled at for nothing and can't respond or have to mute my team in 30% of games.

"it's ok because they picked something meta like Xin Jungle." That cracked me up

instead of agreeing with them just brush them off and ignore them.

I've been playing since the beginning of season 5. Never really much paid attention to the meta, and just played what I liked so long as they could fill the "duties" of the role I'm playing. Have yet to be banned. Most I've ever had was a 5 game chat restriction for whining in chat (which is silly to be punished for, but whatever).

As long as you're actually trying and not causing undue blood pressure spikes (Riot can tell apparently), you're fine. Otherwise, be afraid.

Of course, if you admit yourself of wrong doing. Your word is against you. Or if you pick Trundle, than it's obvious troll pick.
