It also might help to point out that bats are associated with things like night time, Halloween, and vampires (Vlad). Ravens are and always have been viewed as exceptionally intelligent birds (thus suitable for a tactician) and are also carrion eaters, making them suitably dark and nefarious for a Noxian. There really are some better reasons than "just because" if you think about it.
