As in - someone in the lobby gets placed, say, Support, but takes smite and plays jungle without the actual jungler consenting to swap or anything.
Is this reportable? If so, under what category?
Will Riot actually do anything if the person still plays well? Even if they get a good score and carry, they still stole someone's role and made the game more difficult for them
It is punishable. As for which category, I'd suggest Intentionally Feeding, as that category pertains to gameplay-related misbehavior, more than just intentionally feeding. It of course would also be worthwhile to add a note in the report detailing the player's behavior - what role they were placed, and which role they decided to steal, etc.

Even if they played the role well, they still stole someone else's role and trolled their teammates, and Riot will still punish them for it.
Thankfully, good performance has never excused poor behavior.
i remember when the role system was not out yet but everyone was talking about and i CLEARLY remember someone with a colored name saying "... and thats also an easy way to punish people for role stealing" something that to this day never gets punished.
i have yet to see a single person getting banned for just stealing a role.
It's not punishable sadly , I wish it was
According to the rules it is , but Bots won't know that this guy trolled Bots that review reports only ban those who are 0/20 in 25 minutes or those who are flaming or scripters other than that , I never seen anyone getting punished However , try sending a support ticket , it can work
In theory it is punishable,in practice those people rarely get punished. After game report will do nothing on this matter, because no one read what you wrote in after game report...They use program for those reports.And program unfortunately can not recognize this sort of behavior... Only way to report that sort of behavior is by writing ticket to support .Even then there is small chances that person will be punished...THAT IS REALITY
According to my experience its not. I've had my role stolen in draft pick plenty of times and reported the player. They go unpunished and their match history continues. I generally just find it better to go AFK if this happens, I really don't want to play the game and it's not winnable anyway. It doesn't happen too frequently though so I've never actualy received LP for going afk when someone stole my role.
