Zoe's Champion Icon is not correct

When you go to "Collection" and then go to "Champions" and scroll all the way down to Zoe's Icon, you'll notice something is off. Zoe's right hand is not making a circle over her eye like it is in the splash art. This has been bugging the hell out of me every since she was on PBE.

Now I already know what you're thinking...

"It's probably so it's easier to see Zoe on the killfeed in-game"

Okay firstly BRUH, if you actually can't see that it's Zoe in the killfeed you need to clean your gunners. This is a thing with no other champion to my knowledge. If someone at Riot can put Zoe's hand back where it's supposed to be it would help my crippling anxiety.

They've made a few icon alterations for...some...arbitrary reason...in the past. Shyvana, for instance, has her high beams on in her icon, but not in the splash. My guess with Zoe is that it wasn't done for recognizability, but rather for the fact that, with her shading, the hand at such a far zoom just looks like a facial deformity.

Edit: Oh yeah, the Shyvana change was done at the same time that they re-tinted Kog'maw's splash to not match his model in the least bit. Welp.

That's quite common, Jinx/Varus have different hairstyles in their icons, Yasuo is flipped and weirdly coloured, Kennen is too for clarity compared to Malzahar, etc.
