T3 weapon item idea - Emergency Magazine- upgrade to Active Reload

[borekas]

upgrade to Active Reload, meant to make one of the most fun items in deadlock in my opinion more viable in the late game.

the item is balanced around not scaling or having an upgrade, because the stats it give are so good for a T2 item

but then again i dont think that updage is worth it, unless you are really slot locked

Active reload cooldown triggers if you press reload, when reloading. It does not trigger if you don't press reload a second time. This way you can postpone the trigger, avoid unnecessary triggering and have it ready for important fights.
If the passive of your item would trigger Active Reload cooldown, the upgrade would actually be worse.
I also think the info-text "Triggers Active Reload Passive" is confusing. I assume it means that an instant automatic reload is like triggering a successful Active Reload?

Cool concept, but looks too similar to Vampire Burst and would be too difficult to balance on certain heroes (notably long reload times like Abrams/Mcginnis). Kinetic is already going through a similar issue of creating some severe balance issues related to this exact issue, since it grants flat ammo and not % ammo, so characters like Doorman/Abrams/Mina can hard abuse it and get way too much value out of it.
