If you would give him free defensive stats, then good luck killing him 1 vs 1 - he will become almost unkillable in such a situation.

I think that cap'ped ulti costs would allow Swain to go in in team fight, go out almost to full range (or use zhonya) and then when they switch target he still just could use his ulti without worries, and that would give him enough power boost in team fights... Since right now the moment enemy (or you) run away or are chasing, you practicly have to turn it off and then you lose much dmg potential.

Also this mana fix would allow him to just stay in 2nd line after bruiser-tanks and before AD carry and just try to combo an carry, and then plainly just do dmg to anything that is close (even bruisers and tanks significantly feel Swain's ulti if you hit them for like 5-10 secs...)
