Can you get banned for playing whatever you want?

I rarely use the chat and I don't bother "fighting" with other players for my role so I just pick the champion I want to play with. I don't have preference which lane to take but I rarely agree to go in the jungle, so in a few games I can be top with another player. If I don't pick a support, then I go wherever a player is needed and start farming. Sometimes there is an ADC with me but I don't care. I pick my champion before some other players. They have a chance to pick a support but if they don't want to, then why should I care?

Is this really a bannable offense? Can I get banned if I ignore people who tell me how to enjoy my time even if I try to win the game? Can I get banned if I pick the same champion every time and try to farm if that will make it strong enough to be useful, even at the cost of someone else's farm?

EDIT: I know that one champion can be played in more than one role but if I choose to support, I pick champions that are good at supporting. If I play as a fighter or assassin, that means I don't intent to support.

If it's blind and you're trying to win, it's not punishable as a gameplay offense.

If it's draft and you play a role different than assigned, it may be punished.

There is an etiquette in blind pick. That calling a lane first gets you the lane, and that the remaining people fill whatever is needed. But it's no more than that.

Supports can farm fine. It's not against the rules. However, it's generally a good idea to play supports and not farm because they can help the team without much gold, and adc don't. But adc use their gold really efficiently. Which is why you try to give them farm and gold, so they end up being strong enough to kill everything.

Well if you do like this in Ranked, you are high likely to be reported for Intentional feeding which includes trolling (I can't refer to exact points rn, but if you wish look it up after the game). And even if it is not reportable the amount of reports you can get by picking the non-support champion for support and AS MINIMUM not winning the lane can accumulate into ban not saying you get guaranteed report for taking farm from your adc or any other lane as support.

yes, you can get banned if enough people cry about it.
