How to: Lag Switching in Overwatch[Tutorial]

[[MPGH]Jov]

As far as lagswitching goes, overwatch is like most other games.
there are two ways that i know to lag switch on overwatch

First one Requires AutoHotkey To be installed on your Pc.
Second one uses a tool called SimpleLS (download below)
You can also use any other LS tool like Devtool

First Tut
1. Run this in command prompt (admin):

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="lagSwitch" dir="out" action="block" enable="no"

2. Make a .ahk with this script (CHANGE THE KEYS IF NEEDED)

F5::
Run, netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="lagSwitch" new enable="yes",,Hide
return
 
F4::
Run, netsh advfirewall firewall set rule name="lagSwitch" new enable="no",,Hide
return

3. Go into Advanced Firewall->Inbound and Disable Overwatch Client rules.(make sure to refresh/restart game)
Pic for reference:

*in portuguese but should still be the same
Key 1 (f4) enables it, key 2 (f5) disables it


Second Tut
1. start SimpleLS and go to Options (top bar) and select Firewall Method then exit SimpleLS
Go to Control Panel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Advanced Settings (on the left)>go to Inbound Rules>Find Overwatch and right click it go to Properties> under action change it to Allow connection if it is secure.
2. Press Ok and start SimpleLS and set your hotkeys and lag switch

Lag switching in this game won't do much, if anything to aid you. You're sent back to where you were standing, with the same ammo/cooldowns as when you disconnected. This is practically useless for Overwatch.

When other people see you lag switching, you will be standing still, not shooting, easily killable.
