Idea for Swain's new ult animation
So, some people are been rather bummed by how Swain's new ult, while still looking fantastic, didn't allow them to turn into Birbman, which is one of the main things that sort of made Swain, well, Swain. Along with Beatrice. (Bring her back Riot please, at least let her sit on his shoulder again)
As a result, I had the idea that Swain could possibly have an effect of a spectral raven surrounding his his body, somewhat similar in appearance to his old Birb Mode, possibly flickering/fading in and out for some nice, spooky atmosphere.
I feel like this would satisfy the people who would like to feel some aspects of Old Swain's most iconic ability, while simultaneously being rather easy to implement by Riot and not requiring massive parts of the animation to be scrapped. What do you guys think?
Edit: Okay, my being bummed out by the lack of Beatrice is sort of alleviated by how ravens will start following Swain around while having multiple Soul Fragments (although I would still appreciate having her sit on Swain's shoulder like she used to). Also, kudos to Riot for bringing back Swain's cane for his dance!
