How It Works

League Deceiver uses a proxy approach to intercept and modify your presence:

flowchart LR
    A[Riot Client] -->|1. Get Config| B[League Deceiver]
    B -->|2. Modified Config| A
    A -->|3. Chat Connection| B
    B -->|4. Modified Presence| C[Riot Servers]

Loading

1. Config Proxy: Redirects chat server connections through League Deceiver
2. Presence Interception: Catches your online status updates
3. Status Modification: Changes your status to "offline" or "mobile"
4. Transparent Operation: All other functionality works normally

FAQ

Where can I download League Deceiver?

Click the Releases tab to download the latest version.

Can I still invite people? Can they invite me?

Your friends list works as normal - you can invite everyone. However, friends cannot invite you while you appear offline, even if they enter your name manually.

Can I talk in lobbies/champion select?

Yes! Only your global presence is hidden. You can chat in lobbies and champion/agent select without issues.

Is this approved by Riot?

Riot has confirmed that you won't get banned for using Deceive. However, it may break at any time if Riot changes their systems.

The game says I'm online, but am I really offline?

Yes! The game client always shows you as online to yourself, but your friends see you as offline. The "Deceive Active!" friend confirms that Deceive is working.

Why do I need to close the Riot Client first?

League Deceiver needs to launch the Riot Client with special parameters to redirect chat connections. If the client is already running, it can't intercept the chat traffic.
