I have a question. Can I use LoL sounds in my own little application. I will not publish it. I am making just a Christmas card for my nearest. Please. Just for a pleasure. Please. :)

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I build a free mobile app or website around League of Legends?

A: A lot of fans have built stuff like this, and we hope that more will do so in the future. While we don’t support or endorse any fan projects, we’re often impressed by all the badass stuff you come up with to provide new content and services for your fellow players. As we said above, as long as you comply with our Guidelines for using our IP and don’t violate anyone else’s rights, we’re generally fine if you want to create a free mobile app or website around League of Legends.

Q: Can I use your graphics and art assets to make my free League of Legends app or website?

A: Game art’s a yes (per the Guidelines above). But logos are a no, as noted above. Sorry that we don’t yet have an official art repository filled with game art assets that you can download for non-commercial use. We know that’d be handy, and we’re assessing how we might be able to provide such a repository.

Legally, probably not, but the chances of anyone (riot included) actually caring are nonexistent. As long as it is not profited from or heavily distributed.

I can't imagine that Riot could make any real claim of their copyrighted materials' value being eroded by the use you are considering. You are in all likelihood in the clear even if Riot did want to pursue legal action against something so trivial.
