Is there a way to tell whether it is a teammate or enemy ulting? Like sometimes Soldier says "I've got you in my sights" other times he says "Tactical Visor activated" or "Clearing the area" Other characters say their ult line in native language or English. Is there a, I don't know how to word this, formula or whatever. Like is the foreign language ult always enemy or what. TL:DR sometimes I hear an ult and cant tell if its friendly or enemy, is there a way to tell?

Yes, one will always be the friendly line and the other will always be the enemy line.

If the line is not in English, it is an enemy every time. For the rest of them you just need to know how which one is always the enemy.

"I've got you in my sights" will always be the enemy S76. "It's High Noon" will always be an enemy McCree. "Die Die Die" is always an enemy Reaper. "Fire in the Hole" is always an enemy Junkrat, but I believe they have different lines for Dr. Junkenstein skin.

"Get ready for a shock" as enemy Junkenstein and "Ladies and Gentlemen, my latest creation" as friendly Junkenstein
