Coined by League of Legends streamer Elite500 (Calvin), it states
> Giving a bad player kills will not make him better.
That is, the better player will win in all likelihood, regardless of leads gained early game. One should take comfort in his skill above his opponent rather than frustration with circumstances caused by jungler dynamics or other arbitraries, fundamentally out of his control.
Calvin’s Law is ultimately a generalization of common economic knowledge, that lump-sum cash transfers are typically the least effective type of aid which can be given (most notably, the cash transfer programs undertaken by numerous US NGOs in developing areas of Africa). Research by the Overseas Development Institute finds that the risk of corruption, lack of longer-term investment opportunities, and lack of infrastructure and training often render lump-sum cash transfers as the worst alternative among such options as direct training/building/humanitarian aid or regular smaller cash transfers.
Put another way, Calvin’s Law is commentary on the increasingly nepotic and privileged social dynamics of modern society, and a statement of hope despite such conditions. That, regardless of one’s birth and upbringing, as long as one possesses the skill necessary, deserved success will come, in due time.

A too often overlooked member of your wife's family, who takes the place of the dreaded mother in law if that one is dead or if, by a weird twist of fate, she's not hating you. Rarely poses a threat to the daughter in law cuz the son-in-law is usually his favourite target.
Has to be approached with extreme caution if you're the lucky man proposing to his beloved-and-only daughter. Might welcome you with a bazooka if you're not matching his expectations to the letter. Will constantly try to tow your wife away from you, saying you don't deserve her or that your just another cheating perv. Oh and don't lie in his presence or you'll soon discover that bastard knows EVERYTHING about your past! (yes everything)

Randall almost punched his father in law in the face after that bastard tried to convince Tanya that her husband was attending a swingers' club.
