Since he has a unique overheating mechanic it is part of the character's kit that he has his shooting period and his ability period while overheating. You can lean into one or the other or both. Should be interesting.

Alrighty reworked the Steampunk, now the Steam Machine!
Ammo has no affect on him. He can't get ammo from urn buffs.

Instead of ammo he has a Heat meter, which builds 10% per bullet shot. Heat starts decaying 0.5s after shooting. Decay rate is 1% for every 0.1s it has been since shooting, so at 3s since shooting 30% of the heat meter is decaying that second.

When you start overheating (heat reaches 100%) heat declines at 20% per second until heat reaches 0. You cannot shoot while overheating (except when ulting).

The idea is that he's a high damage gun character limited by his overheat mechanic, who has a couple ways around it (his 2 and 4), and is in spirit damage mode while overheating based off his 3. Ideally you can have a build built around overheating.
