Being Oathsworn with the Jungler?
This is a weird thought, but what if 
was oathsworn with the jungler instead of the support? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Id love to hear everyones thoughts about it! :)

advantage: great in teamfights if oathsworn with a jungler like amumu
disadvantage: get rekt in lane at 6
If you're going bottom lane, you're missing out a lot. Sentinel passive does a lot of damage and is relatively easy to proc if your support is ranged, and that's a really good poke/secured kills. You can pull off some amazing ganks at level 6+ if you bind with jungler, but chances are that your jungler will probably already have a gapcloser while your support doesn't (If you have like Pantheon support and Udyr jungle or something like that, then maybe it's worth to go for binding with jungler?). It's usually better to bind the support.
That's when you're going bot lane. If you're going mid as Kalista, then you should bind with jungler. I personally don't think that's very effective, but I've seen it working. I guess amazing ganks are worth missing out on W passive.
(Also, support Kalista have good damage without items (%health damage), vision and objective control, as well as amazing peel for your ADC.)
You'd have to group early/ plan on having your jg camp. I think it would work, but it would be pretty situational. I think that it is best to have it bound to the support for the w passive.
I HATE playing something like Nami with a Kalista. Like, I have better supports to synergize with you, please let me know you're going Kalista so I can pick accordingly.
Because if you Oathsworn on my Soraka or Nami, I'm going to ask you to put it on our Lee Sin or Voli instead. Just think about it. I know we lose the lane poke and the escapes for me, but being able to toss in our jungler (a tanky chase jungler to boot) has so many more benefits.
I would like to be able to refuse the Oathsworn passive, also. Just because I think it's silly that Kalista can just activate her ult and yank you away. When Thresh was first teased, everyone thought his W was an automatic pull and no one knew you had to actually click on it. Everyone predicted massive trolling.
It would be better to use it on your support if you have a tank engage support, maybe better for the jungler if you have a tank jungle and a poke/sustain support.
It would be great for teamfights late game, but you might struggle in lane if you can't make use of it without a gank.
Are you able to rebuy the black spear? Then you could just switch who you're oathsworn to
