Just a quick suggestion, Vindicator is a hard counter to many heroes who are designed to chain their spells (:wret::chip::glad::pand::pyro::witc:)without any effort then just standing nearby in a team fight, sure he is squishy, which could be tweaked a bit.
Mainly this is a suggestion that focuses on his one key ability, silence aura, it makes him extremely potent at shutting down chain casters, the prime example being :pand:.
This change would remove the silence effect from the aura, keeping the int drain, and adding a % based mana burn to all enemies who cast spells near the vindicator, effectively making his anti-caster aura still anti-caster, but still.
Any enemy hero who casts a spell while in range of the Aura iLoses 2/3/4/5% of the spell's mana cost.
Any enemy hero who dies while in range of the Aura will permanently lose 1 Intelligence while Vindicator permanently gains 2 Intelligence.
Improving other stats, like base STR and STR gain could help balance out the nerf to his incredibly annoying and passive hard counter to chain nukes.
