Regarding Swains VGU, I want to draw upon this comment in a random thread

This would allow Beast Mode to be insanely powerful in itself, delivering on both of his themes. That way we get "master tactician, who's both capable, and not afraid to get his own hands dirty" - something very Swain, and very Noxian.

This is quite an amazing idea. You get both archetypes of birdman and tactician in one. It will also keep his ult while chaning his basics up a bit to give you a 'ah well played bro' feeling when you die to him while not making his ult mode too obnoxious
