...how are we gonna know his secondary weapon? How are we gonna know his ammo count, or what gun he'll get next? His kit seems pretty one-sided, seeing as his opponents wont have any clue what he's about to get. Or am I missing something?

With Annie, we know when she's got her passive stun ready. With zoe, we know what item/summoner she picked up. We know when gnar's about to turn mega, etc. We're given a fair warning.

So how will we know how to play against his abilities?

The way his Q targets will be based on his main hand weapon. The effect is based on the off-hand. So you'll know what you need to dodge, just not what it does.

I expect his off-hand gun will be displayed next to his health bar, like Pyke's R resets. You can easily tell his main-hand gun because the model/stance will change.

There will likely be a dramatic sound effect when his guns run out of ammo.

The gun he'll get next isn't really relevant info. He's not going to stun you or kill you instantly with his new gun. They just alter how he deals damage.

We will probably get to see his Primary and offhand guns, but not what is next. Now if you play him a bunch or play against him a bunch you should eventually be able to predict what comes next. Its not random. Its a revolving door. When he finishes a gun its not shuffled back into the deck. Its put at the bottom of the deck of car.... guns. and he will get it back when he gets to the back of the list.
