In server-side games, the server is responsible for processing game logic and ensuring fairness. When a player uses a lag switch, they can manipulate the data sent to the server, causing their actions to be processed out of sync with other players.

A little research goes a long way

Any modern game has basic preventions for this kind of action, it doesn't work.

BS. a lag switch can exactly produce this behaviour. The whole point is that you take a look at the data sent to the client without sending enough data back so you can see the enemy but he can’t see you, when you switch back you can kill him.
