It's also very reminiscent of Bounty Hunters in SW:TOR. Their resource in the game is heat and most of their abilities generate heat and a few reduce heat, and there is a sweet spot where you don't want to go over too often or under too often. They also have a flame thrower...

That may be it but I play LoL a lot as well so Rumble clicks for me.

Reminds me of the heat gauge they added to gunlance in Monster Hunter.

Not entirely true. Over heating increases your damage. The initial tool tip translations we're incorrect.

Yep, was my thought exactly when I saw the heat mechanic.
