IP bans only work with static IP's. Thanks to the limitations of IPv4, classless addressing and NAT/PAT, the majority of the world uses dynamic IP's. Meaning the IP address you have today may not be the same IP address tomorrow and some dude in another state may have your old IP address....and would be banned for no reason.

Can you not ban entire I.P ranges? Because even dynamically allocated I.P addresses are limited in "range" via the ISP.

Indeed you can ban entire ranges but individuals are never provided a dedicated block range of IP addresses that are not shared with countless others.
Exclusive IPs and ranges of IPs are incredibly rare if not entirely unhead of now. Businesses, of course, can receive them but not general customers.
