Problem: Difficult to interrupt heroes, although knockdown is okay, it's takes time for the item to activate, so I want an item that has some different considerations that allows frontliners to interrupt enemy abilities.

Idea: Acoustic Grenade
An item that costs either flat or percentage of your max life to cast, places a debuff on you that silences you during the duration and explodes for fixed damage at the end of the duration. The explosion affects enemies in a small range around you and stuns briefly.

This is a way that frontliner heroes can interrupt enemies; It silences you during the duration, so you need to find a different way to gap close, using traditional movement, so heroes like Calico or Shiv can't just use it and add it to their rotation.

It's a way for tanky frontliner heroes to disrupt on the frontline, to counter enemy channeled abilities like Mina ult, Seven ult etc. Can be good for beefy warp stone buyers as well.
 
Sounds like a good item on Abrams or Victor I just think the silence might dissuade people from using it since the appeal of knockdown is that it has no downsides.
