Since the game was physically released a long time ago, the CD should have all the original files and everything untouched. Theoretically could someone hack this version of the game to prevent it from updating and allow them to play offline (with bots obviously)?
I think it would be really neat to see how League was way back then (videos of that time are pretty rare)!
Oh god, League was awful back then. You dont want to play old League, trust me.

Playing with bots is still online so no unless you got it to work a way for it to be completely offline
In "Ask Riot", they said they had trouble making old builds work and the effort required to get them running wasn't worth it, so the answer is no.
