Could you please up the lock-out timer for swarms? There should be a 3s delay before they explode (even if they hit).

You want them even more useless? O.o

I'd rather have them useful but less annoying.

Yeah, in my experience if the swarms don't hit within 3 seconds they're probably not going to hit.

Give swarms back their uber-maneuverability, but take away their proximity trigger. That would stop the "face swarmers". The only use of them seems to be firing them pointblank as somebody (not so clever, like me), is approaching the swarmer.

Anyway....swarms are the kind of fire+forget weapon that is an affront to the skill-base combat VO is. Easily dodged, and an (unfortunately) annoying weapon for people who warps in, swarms and then warp out : one way to stop *that* is to prevent people from warping out when their swarms are still in effect (though it probably won't work too well).
