If you want to hide your online status while playing League of Legends, you’re in the right place. In this guide, we’ll talk about the two methods you can use to appear offline in LoL and dodge your friends.
How to Appear Offline in LoL and Play Uninterrupted
Use Deceive
Deceive is a very useful tool that you can use to manage your League of Legends status. You can download it from GitHub.
The best part is that Riot confirmed using Deceive won’t get you banned. The only issue you may experience is the tool breaking from time to time. But your can quickly fix it by restarting it.
Deceive does not interfere with your LoL friends list, you can send and receive invites just as you would normally do. You can use lobbies. The only thing that Deceive filters is your global status.
Use Command Prompt
To use this method, you need to first enable your firewall.
- Launch Command Prompt as administrator
- Enter this command netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”lolchat” dir=out remoteip=[insert server IP] protocol=TCP action=block
- Hit Enter
You can use this command for all LoL servers. Don’t forget to check your game server IP information first to make sure you’re using the right one.
To do this, launch Command Prompt and enter the euw1.lol.riotgames.com or euw2.lol.riotgames.com command. The server’s IP address will appear on the screen.
If you don’t want to be put in unpleasant situations such as ignoring your friends’ messages although you know they can see you’re online, using one of these two methods is the best approach.
In this manner, you’ll also avoid resentment from your friends’ part.
Enjoy the game.
