Unsure about my legal options @RIOT
I was curious, would I be able to legally make cosplay version of RIOT accessories and sell them on my etsy? Like the K/DA hats, that would have k/da written on them, as well as masks...etc?

Pretty sure they will have those in their own store pretty soon. So i do not think it will work out very well if you were trying to sell them. Make them for yourself or as a gift to a friend? Sure, but monetary gain from it will probably get you in trouble a bit.
Basically, no, you cannot sell anything related to League's Intellectual Property legally.
