It was suppose to synergize with Embers - at least thematically if not the actual functionality. *rawr breathes fire while swooping around the battlefield*

The only issue I had with number 2 is the Ranged/Melee classification (particularly for Frozen Mallet, Hydra/Runaan's, etc)... also, for animations. Claws and fire-breathing. Unless he's always ranged, and Uplift merely grants bonus range. With number 3 he switches between melee and ranged, so it's simple.
