The new Overwatch 2 Season 11, hero changes include reduced knockdown time when two charging abilities collide, increased damage for D.VA, Junker Queen, Orisa, Roadhog, Cassidy, Mel and more.

Overwatch 2 Season 11, titled Super Mega Ultrawatch, draws inspiration from retro Japanese live-action movies (Tokusatsu) known for their old-school special effects and monster costumes.

Launched on June 20, the season introduces a plethora of exciting new skins and cosmetics. Here are all the highlights from Overwatch 2 Season 11. WIth this season Blizzard made a bunch of hero changes and changes to the knockdown system. From now on, when two charging abilities collide, the knockdown time has been reduced from 2 to 1.7 seconds.

Developer Comments: "This stun time reduction applies to the knockdown that happens when two charging abilities collide and result in a tie (with Reinhardt, Doomfist, Brigitte, Mauga, Bob). The counterplay and interaction of two charging abilities impacting each other is great, but it took both players out of the fight a little too long."
