What is Deceive?

The Offline Status Tool Built for Riot Games

Deceive is a free, open-source Windows application created by molenzwiebel that lets you appear offline in League of Legends and Valorant while continuing to play normally.

Rather than using a workaround like blocking Riot's servers with a firewall (which can break your client), Deceive acts as a local XMPP proxy — intercepting only the chat presence connection and setting your status to offline before it ever reaches Riot's servers.

The result: your friends see you as offline, you receive no game invites, your champion select is not visible to others, and you can focus entirely on your game. No code injection, no game file modifications, no anti-cheat interference.

Why Players Choose Deceive

Appear Completely Offline

Your friends see you as offline — no online indicator, no game status, no champion select visibility. Full invisibility on your friend list.

In-Game Chat Stays Active

Your in-game team chat, All Chat, and game features work exactly as normal. Deceive only affects your social presence status.

Going offline is one click. Coming back online is just closing the app. No complex setup, no configurations — just launch and play.
