I have a little brother who has become addicted to League of legends, and he keeps ruining his laptop by trying to download some kind of shady tools. Because of these tools, he is constantly exposed to viruses that usually end up with constant blue screens, missing drivers and ruined hardware
I want to add in some kind of prevention that will not allow him to ever install/play/interact with league of legends without my permission, whilst still allowing him to install other games and other applications without my permission/authorization.

From a social engineering standpoint the way to prevent this behaviour is to stop enabling it. Don't pay to repair it, tell him that he has to pay back the previous "loans" by doing chores, mowing lawns or selling lemonade. If he destroys the laptop by running shady virus laden tools then enable parental controls as described by harrymc below. If he circumvents that then tell him that you are going to have to lock the machine down further. Install Deep Freeze to wipe changes after a reboot, or just install Linux or take it away.
