Please add option to turn off skins

Hello there!
I'm CS:GO player in past, and I have only one thing that's annoying me in Valorant. It's skins.
Some of them are good, some are not, but devs added custom sounds for some and that's confusing me a lot.
I prefer to know what weapon enemy's shooting, and yeah, I can't explain, but with different animations and sounds same weapon feels... different. I sure some of you know what I'm talking about.
So why not to add option in settings to turn off skins and sounds from other players guns?
You pick up someone's Vandal with and you see just default skin. And same for third person.

All team and enemy gun sounds are the same for competitive integrity. So you always know what gun the enemy has if you hear it. Same goes for, most, animations.

So this only affects you if you grab a gun from the floor and while spectating. I can see how it could be useful for some people that get really distracted from a skin they never asked for in a serious competitive game and so, I do agree that the existence of such option will be appreciated by some.

In the other hand, it might be considered as an additional way of marketing by Riot so they may never do it. Like "Oh I just picked up a cool gun skin from the ground and now i kinda wanna buy it" you know.

Gee I would certainly like an option to turn off skin sounds without turning off agent voicelines as well, as my favorite skin is the Protocol 781-A Phantom. And the Vocalizer upgrade is the most distracting thing in the entire game and i would like to play with a different colour than default.
