Would it be hard to make us able to choose what patch we play on in custom games?

I would personally find it very interesting to play some things I couldnt get into because I only started about 2 years ago (e.g. old Xerath or old Karma). It would be fun trying different things out with friends or even in bot games. You're not forced to join a patch with a broken champ (/*cough Xin Zaho /*cough) since there is no matchmaking in customs. I could see however that there might be difficulties in implementing this. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the patch data is overwritten with every new update, isn't it? It would probably take a lot of disk space and time do this and of course, it is not a priority at all, but I would like to know if that is theoretically possible and what efforts would have to be made for it.

Should be done for bots too.

The answer is yes. The old patch data isn't there on your harddrive anymore, AFAIK.

Yes, it would. They don't keep that old data anymore to my knowledge and the players themselves certainly don't have it.

they probably do have the data. but how much data is it. your computer probably cant store all of it. and its too much work for them to implement it.
