SG Xayah can have Stars but Cosmic Xayah can't have moons?

With the reveal of SG Xayah it shows she uses small stars instead of little feathers like her other skins.

I find this strange because at release Cosmic Dusk Xayah had Moons instead of the recoloured feathers from her classic she has now. https://i.imgur.com/mPscOBm.jpg

Now that the skins team has decided that non-feather designs are okay, could we get those moons back? As I found they fit the theme infinitely better.

I think they found that the moon shape was too different from her feathers to be easily recognizable. They obviously learned from this mistake and SG Xayah has differently shaped feathers, but they look much more similar to the feather shape and read more easily. Thus they don't interfere with gameplay.

I think it would be nice if Cosmic got some feather shapes that were more different, but I can understand why they didn't go with the initial moon shape. It sucks, but I'd rather them consider gameplay first and foremost. This is something really important to recognize quickly in-game.

They got removed?! WHAT!? (no, I don't play her a lot, why do you ask?)

Probably since soraka also throws around yellow moons and in larger fights that might be confusing to keep track off

It could've possibly have been an issue with readability. The moons are very rounded, compared to Xayah's usually very pointy feathers. (Though, personally, I'm not a huge fan of the moon feathers.)
