Okay, I'm not that much of a critisizer, but I'll try.

Since he's a strength hero, please keep down the intellect bonus, it's just like another intellect hero's primary level. Anyways...
It was good that you remembered that all heroes follow this:
150 + (strength X 19)
0 + (mana X 13)

Okay, the skills.

1) Make sure in the description what kind of 'uselessness' the guy has. Second of all, how much damage dealt? Put the percentage higher of the 2 seconds thing. Is this passive? Because I don't see any mana cost or cooldown, and if it is passive, please change it to something that is repeated or by choice. Like, frost arrow (traxex - drow ranger).

2) Okay, using enemy creeps for your advantage to have a major push, then yes this spell would be okay. But the hero thing, you actually want the hero to die. This has no complete effect against the hero.

3) Okay, since this is a psychic type of guy I'll let it through. But all other existing hero's non-ultimate spells are only about 1 - 300 damage without adding any other thing (i.e. a silence, an invulnerability etc...) 320 + a silence, '

4) (my favorite part! critisism of ulti)
Damage is severely high for early game, as in, level 6 when obtain the first ultimate. The damage is real low for late game. You hold them for a few seconds, gaining their intellect permanently? So, it's like meat hook except with an added intel? Hmm..

Okay, not much damage for a str hero.

stats: seems ok

1st: if its passive, WOW that is so gay. also "useless" is very vague... if useless means:
cant move: kinda cheap
stun: WTFBBQSAUCE cheap
anything else: i dont know how thats gonna work
also, 25% for 2 secs is a LONG itme, late game, would literally make the hero being attacked perma"useless"
also, how does the framework work if his range is 125 and it shoots a ball, that ball would have to be kinda small and thus neglible

2nd: THIS is gonna cause alot of bugs to occur...

3rd: seems ok, but the dmg could be lower, theres rarely a medium dmg nuke wtih a somewhat long disable to kick

ulti: how long does the int steal last...

OVERALL: i guess the idea is good, but his story seems out of dota context and there isnt much synergy, just disable after disable.
