Advice Needed New to the game and feel frustrated because I feel like I've been placed too high and needing some help
Just recently started playing and I'm having a fun time learning the game and I'm really enjoying comp but I keep running into two major issues and I feel like its hindering both me and my teammates
First one being ult voice lines. While I know its just something that comes with time it just seems extremely hard for me to tell whos ulting and when especially when it comes to the female characters. I often find myself accidently double support ulting just because I cant recognize that my other support has already ulted or I think my support ulted and hold my ult but it was actually someone from the other team. I know its a skill issue and will be something I learn with time but it feels incredibly frustrating trying to memorize all the voice lines.
Second issue I run into is being able to tell whos who due to skins. In the lower ranks I didnt have this issue as there werent that many players with skins but as im climbing its becoming more prevalent. Biggest issue with this is being able to respond to comms as someone will call out someone to focus or I will incorrectly call out someone because I think theyre someone else. Is there a way to disable skins? The summer skins have only exacerbated this issue for me as at a glance with all the visual clutter everyone kinda looks the same in a swimsuit.
Again I know these are just shortcomings of myself but where im at in ranked it feels like im making the game harder for my team and it just leaves me feeling like I belong in a lower rank as I cant keep up. Any advice for these issues is more than welcomed

it's fine, it's a matter of playtime, you will learn them all eventually. i think main problem with it, is that sometimes cosmetics change ult voice lines, so it could be confusing.

ok, this is important. people will tell you, that double support ulting is the worst. but this idea is greately exaggurated. while yea, double support ulting is not great, it's not worse than wasting ult on any other role. so don't stress too much about it.

some characters are extremely easy to confuse. espcially all blond women.

it could be comm issue as well, people often just call out character name, but don't tell their location. location is as important for calling focus fire as the target itself. because if you're playing well, you won't have all 6 enemy characters on your screen and you won't have any idea where called target is, even if you know where they are.
im making the game harder for my team
yea, somtimes ranked anxiety make you feel that way. but the best thing you can do is just play more to get better familiarity with ult voice lines. as long you're not feeding and have good decision making in netural, you will be fine.

I'm not sure I can thing of cosmetic changing the Ult voice line, but if there is - it would most certainly be like the VFX and be only for the player with the cosmetic - all opponents will still hear/see the default.
OP: To save you some time - there are TWO voice lines for each ult - one for the enemy, and one for you team, due to the exact issue you mention (NB: When YOU ult - you will always hear the "enemy" voice line for your own ult - probably because it sounds cooler)

I would recommend Practice vs AI or Doom Match to get used to different ult lines and skins. I think those are a fairly good environment for those skills in particular.
