This is a bad punishment, because it implies that you as a parent made the mistake of giving your child a personal computer.

Step 2: ???
Step 3: "Why do my kids not talk to me anymore" -the old man/woman said in the nursing home
(seriously tho, I've seen some draconian helicopter parenting on reddit that supposedly happened, although idk if its ragebait or something)
Sadly, that's the kind of parent I grew up with. Even if it is ragebait, it comes from a depressingly real place.
That sort of thing isn't anything new. My grandpa made my dad burn his baseball cards because he thought they were becoming "idols."
I'm always amazed that my dad managed to rebuild their relationship later in life.
Helicopter parenting is a cutesy term for abusive controlling parenting
Hop on my kids league account, run it down mid and call my jungle a slur.
That's the average league game, that won't get you banned.
I deadass got honor level 4 after whining "Gg champ select" in an ARAM game. Rito cares not if youre sporting, just if people can take acreenshots that will negatively impact company image.
To that end, they actually disabled most cross team chat.
I've played enough league to know you would have to do this for months to actually pick up a ban
Thanks for testing it in the name of science
I feel it needs to be called out, that this is a joke, but the idea of doing this would be a horribly dysfunctional and bad idea of a family that does not have healthy relationships.
"TheLeadenSea was in the vent!" ඞ
I read that as "online gambling" first and then realised they're often the same thing now that the videogame industry is full of pathetic losers with no morals whatsoever.
For some reason I read is as gambling too and didn't notice till I read your comment. Weird.
