A few days ago I downloaded a replay of one of my better games, but since then I've been enjoying this winter break and played so many games it's left my "Last 20 games played" history. The .rofl file should be compatible because it's still within the same patch, I just can't open it because I can't find the appropriate game. I would really like to pull a few clips from this game, does anyone have any ideas of how I could do so?
Deep Terror Nami1 votesYou have to download the replay before it's past your most recent 20 games. Once it's further than that you can't obtain it. If you don't want to use the in-client replay downloading there are still third party options like BaronReplays and replay.gg, though if they weren't saved already it's too late for that match.

Deep Terror Nami1 votesAh ok, you need to do this to pull up your saved .rofl files;
- Locate the .rofl in C:\Users\MrBurnaby\Documents\League of Legends\Replays
- Select the .rofl you want to open from step 1 and hit 'ctrl+c' (copy)
[ This should copy something like the following to your clipboard C:\Users\MrBurnaby\Documents\League of Legends\Replays\NA1-2247576397.rofl ]- Navigate to the most recent deploy of the build where the rofl was captured (e.g. C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.1.152\deploy
- Find the LoL application and create a shortcut
- Right-click the shortcut, select properties, then paste the copied rofl to the end of the target name (e.g. C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.1.152\deploy\League of Legends.exe" "C:\Users\MrBurnaby\Documents\League of Legends\Replays")
- Apply and OK
- Double click the LoL shortcut to launch the replay!
(be careful as syntax matters a ton in step 5... the space between "the path of the latest executable" and "the path to the .rofl," the two sets of "<executable>" "<.rofl>", etc.)
(also, the location of the .exe will change patch to patch, so this path won't work forever)
Hope this helps.
