What are all the different ways Riot punishes players?

There are also ID bans, which are where Riot will automatically perma any account they discover being used by certain people, regardless of whether or not there was any behavior on that account. Tyler1 is an example of someone who was on an ID ban.

And yet I'm still getting paired up with guys proud they can troll and not get banned. Genius.
i mean its kinda cool
You mean the way riot minorly inconveniences players by forcing them to make a new account, accomplishing absolutely nothing from a disciplinary standpoint?
and buy "making" we're talking about buying accounts lol;p
Aside from those others have already mentioned;
I've seen 30 day bans for win trading in S8.
There's leaver buster for 5/10/20 minute x 5 games
Dodge penalty for 6/30 minutes
and our favorite conspiracy punishment on how you'll always get inters, griefers and feeders in your promo games.
In addition to what was already said, there are low priority que penalties for leaving games or AFKing.
You get a wait time of either 5, 10, or 20 minutes before you can actually enter the que for a game. You get those 5 games at a time, and unlike other punishments they do not affect your honor level.

And here we see why 90% of my last 30 games had an AFK. No punishment to deter them. The punishment is "go grab a drink and come troll the next one!"
I don't think there's any place in particular to find all of the different punishments that Riot employs. You can certainly check out Riot Support, though the information there may not be precisely what you're after due to FAQ formatting.
That said, there are quite a lot of different punishments (some of which are largely the same) that Riot uses, so these are the ones that I can recall;
Chat Misbehavior
Zero-Tolerance Chat Misbehavior
Gameplay Misbehavior
Offensive/Inappropriate Screenname
Cheating
Honor Drop
This all is pretty much what I've learned through reading the Player Behavior boards; between players themselves bringing their cases forward to seeing Rioter comments on penalties and relevant issues. I may well have missed something, but my recollection is by no means exhaustive or perfect.
Hopefully you find this information useful. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
10 game chat restriction 25 game chat restriction 7 day ban 14 day ban perma ban While these tiers may exist its possible you may skip some entirely, heres an example; you tell your 0/36 jarvan to "kys" you will instantly get a 14 day ban.
7 day bans don't exist in the normal punishment tier.
This is largely correct but 7-day bans aren't really a thing anymore. They can be placed when cases are manually reviewed but in general the regular punishment ladder is just:
10 game chat restriction > 25 game chat restriction > 14 day gameplay suspension > Permanent suspension

And the feeding Jarvan gets to feed the very next game with no punishment. Hell, for the rest of the day/week/month/year if they really wanted to.
Well, thinking about it; people have bad games, even horrible games like the fictional Jarvan in this scenario. And sure, he may have a bad game that next game, however, if ti was proven he was INTING he would be punished. There are many ways to look at this scenario, its not black and white.
Aside from the stated punishments?
Does anyone believe there are other ways that they punish players and do not inform us about these actions?
14-day Suspension - Since trolling and intentional feeding have nothing to do with the chat, chat restrictions can be skipped and Gameplay Misbehavior is met with a 14-day suspension on the first verified offence. Permanent Suspension - Continuing to troll or intentionally feed after the 14-day suspension will result in a permanent ban.
I haven't had such a good laugh in YEARS. These are non-existent.
sometimes like me you get ip banned that sucks, but normally just chat restricts and 14 days ban or just straight up perma bans
