I've found that early on, you dont focus on one skill like flamethrower, you focus on making sure youre spamming enough to constantly keep yourself in the danger zone. Thats where all your damage comes from, especially in laning phase. If you balance flamethrower with shield and harpoon, you can pretty much always keep yourself above 50 heat. And if you get to 90 heat, back off on spamming for a second or 2 so your heat goes down, then start popping your abilities again. Doing this means that you pretty much have your shield up 30% of the time (or more) in lane which is blocking harass, and youre dealing aoe fire damage while farming/last hitting which makes any melee champs want to keep away. They may hit you back, but in order to do so, they have to stay in your danger zoned flamethrower for the full duration, which means that they get alot more than they give damagewise. Especially if you decide to peg them with a couple harpoons. My biggest concern at this point is how well he'll stack up in teamfights lategame when everyone has their builds
