The primary reason players had asked for that that was because the mathematical base of the game simply favors stacking damage buffs at the same time. Equally, Trick Attack existed, so in some cases it was just more worth it to sit on your damage cooldowns until Trick was up again.Quote:

CS3 could have also just changed how cooldowns stack or play with different timers overall ( <30s, 30s, 40s, 60s all can neatly flow into 120s).
Rather than playing the blame game though, its more productive to say that this approach had just not been working out, which then allows the game to evolve. Were all just human, after all.
