don't add any depth to your game, just slap arbitrary cooldowns on everything and call it a day

It is indeed terrible design, overwatch only got away with it because bl7zzard fanboys have nitendie levels of delusional devotion

No MMO mechanics should exist in real games. Yes, I'm explicitly stating MMOs aren't real games.

OP is right cooldowns are not fun.
Reloading is better than cooldowns because you get more control over when you can or can't use something plus they actually have feedback for how long it will last. Cooldowns are also a lazy attempt at balance which just fundamentally ruins your skill expression.

Boring shit.

Cooldown tracking is core gameplay of hero shooters. Just avoid the genre entirely.

hero shooters take next to no skill anyway.

If abilities were stupid in shooters then Deadlock wouldn't be the best shooter game since QuakeWorld.

Yes, the best shooter since quakeworld is a MOBA. It makes sense considering a huge part of what makes QuakeWorld good is the resource management aspect, and MOBAs crank that up to 11.
