Where are the bans on the players that make games unwinnable?

Riot has been banning people like crazy lately, and handing out mutes like candy. But the game is still going to shit, most bot lanes i see refuse to group, acknowledge any teammate, push for any objective other than bot lane tower, completely ignoring dragon, ignoring the 3 enemy team members walking up river past 3 wards to gank that are being pinged, pushing to tower nonstop the entire game, never grouping, never saying anything in chat. These players ruin the game for everyone, and in being silver i feel like 90% of games are decided by which team has this type of bot lane. Why are players like this never banned? Why does the new reward system reward players for never speaking because if they say just about anything they will get muted and permanently no longer receive rewards? This game is no longer even remotely fun, riot needs to do some serious cleaning up...

Those are mostly disagreements in strategy. Being bad or disagreeing with you isn't a punishable offense. I recommend the following article for guidelines on reporting players;

As for why chat offenses are punished so easily compared to gameplay offenses (even the legitimate ones), it's simply because it is much more easily detected. A chat restriction is also a pretty minor punishment, while gameplay offenses skip right to bans.

No game ever punished bad plays. Nor it will

The system you are looking for is called Matchmaking. Players who fail to group at the most opportune times, don't take dragon, and miss mias will lose more games than they win until they reach a matchmaking tier appropriate to their skill level.

Banning players for playing poorly would destroy all semblance of competitive integrity.

I agree
