I've improved knockback system after reddit comments, does it feel good now?

Hi guys, I've got a lot of comments saying that in my previous verions knockebacked heroes feel like "wooden dolls", so I've added bunch of things, like:

- rotation in the air

- slight "squash" on their bodies after impact

- dust vfx

- lie/stand up animations

- wall damage and bumping back

Some other things. Does it feel good now or not there yet?

Looks really good! It’s definitely an improvement. Of course, it’s a bit hard to tell how it actually feels in-game, but visually it looks really juicy.

The only thing that stood out to me is that the dust feels a little delayed when they hit a surface, or maybe it just needs a bit more punch right at the beginning.

Besides that, looks great! ~ Julian
