This. So many games I wish the developers would enable this on.
Never ever this will happen before the IPv6 (or a later one) becomes the only available IP version. Right now many have dynamic IPs (due to their ISP making it that way as the number if IPv4 is severily limited, we at our institution have ran out if IP few years back, and it was a problem).
Plus in private networks covering many households (in my town a few years back we had a LAN covering entire town) there usually exist a single gateway router with a single IP on it. You can't trace past it. If you ban it, you also ban every one behind that router also.
So, no IP bans. For those specific reasons - gateways for large networks and dynamic IPs.
