apparently the developers also think we need cooldowns in place of lol stamina bars.
We know the developers decided to remove stamina, thats because stamina doesnt make sense with auto attack.

Stamina makes you choose skills wisely because all of your skills are using the same pool. with cooldowns its not a question of should i use this skill, or this skill based on the situation or my role, but rather i should use them both, because i its on cooldown anyhow.
before you choose to provoke, or attack based on what you think your hate level is. in cooldown system you should do both, there is no reason not to. Which is better is up to the player, but its a fundamentally different choice, which has different strategies and effects.
Stamina isnt about stopping spam, its about making you choose which skills are most important
