Are keyboard Macros a form of "cheating"?

I know some higher tier gaming keyboards have special keys for "macros"

For example of the left side of my Roccat keyboard I have 5 macros keys that I can bind any key sequence to... which I've used on Katarina and lee before for speed jumps, I've never been accused of cheating, nor have I used it much (maybe once or twice to experiment) but from Riots point of view, isn't macro keys a form of cheating? very similar to having a script running?

I think Gripex uses macros for his ward jumps, not sure on Riots official stance on it, not really something I'd recommend or anything, I use all my macro keys for chat commands, one types warded in chat and pings the map, I have one that says MIA and another for RE, plus one of them is just set to the enter key so I can type faster, the last one is set to the left mouse button, but that one is for OSU not league.

This mystery took my all of five seconds to solve...

" Are macros allowed in League? I searched a bit but haven't found a definitive result from Riot. I want to set some up for smite combos (Nunu Q + Smite, Kha Q + Smite etc.) but am scared to do it until I know for sure :S Thanks for doing this Lyte!

Macros are not allowed in League, sorry!"
