This is subtle enough to be able to play with the same account, but harsh enough to make it annoying as shit to deal with Elo Hell to rise back to where said summoner was before. I like it.

It discourages high level players from becoming total douches because of the bragging factor of their skill and would make the Divisions better since people get little to no LP going up the ladder. This doesn't really sound that bad. I feel there would be one thing though, a lot of quitting. Now it is all fine and dandy that if it's the BAD people that are quitting. Though, with this system, it would indeed shift all the bad players into lower ranks. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would make elo hell... an understatement. I feel that elo hell will become so bad that even the good players will give up with the seemingly terrifying community-when the better guys are a few divisions above.

Even if that might be a problem, I do like the idea of making the higher divisions harder to achieve for mean players. (I won't say bad because there can be mean players that are good in the game) For some reason, I don't see the Total IP ban working though. It seems too harsh. It literally means there can't be any more progress on that account, which would be the same as a perma ban. I think if there can't be any progress made on the account anymore, they might as well make a new one. Then the problem goes on again. Might as well do a permaban if it gets to the point of no IP growth. I don't have a problem with the IP reduction though, it does give a glaring indicator of what was lost.

In the end, this does hit a toll for misbehaving players if the reporting system works properly. What I really like is the LP reduction. I feel that even though this does seem a bit more subtle, it would create a greater effect.
