In arena environment the ball blends in with the cat mask whenever the ball is going past it (or when using peripheral vision), making it difficult to return certain shots.
I've also noticed it's worse when you challenge someone, the cat mask is more illuminated then. When you are challenged, it's not as bright (but still bad). I think there is some lighting issue.
Same / similar issues that have been mentioned in discord:
Maybe a solution could be to add an option in debug settings to override any opponent's avatar with a gray headset avatar? This is probably simpler than editing the existing masks or UI.
