What if your champion had stamina which drained when you move or basic attack?

It isn't Diablo, and I don't think it would work too well. A non-mana champion whose main resource is drained by moving?

No thanks. This was in ultima online and when you run out of stamina its so freaking annoying people just beat you down with war hammers and shit

Well there could be items that increase stamina and stamina regeneration. And if you run out of stamina you get a kind of a weak form of exhaust. I think it will add some more complexity and strategy to the game.

Well, Gragas would become unviable.

Someone's been playing Skyrim. ;P

Mechanically, though, the purpose of auto-attacks is to provide reliable sustained damage over the course of a fight. Constraining it to a resource wouldn't work, you may as well delete auto-attacks and make everyone ability-based at that point.

That's not the point of the game. There's already enough things that prevent you from doing everything quickly (cooldowns, resource costs, etc.) They also are fighters, they aren't wimpy humans that tire out after a run of 10 minutes.
