yes the guns look and sounds really good but what about comp play you cant tell what weapon it is with out getting up close and seeing the name of the weapon can anyone from riot comment on a way to fix this? maybe ban that skin from comp play thats what i think

I am almost positive the gun sounds are only for you. The other team hears the default sounds

this is correct. all sounds, animations, and vfx from skins only happen in first person (for you, or those spectating you)

thats true for the melee but in that case its because the melee itself adheres to a different sort of archetype. your melee could be a knife, dagger, sword, axe etc and theres a bit more flexibility. primarily the "not in 3p" rule applies to upgrades for gun skins
