The idea behind this hero, is well it's Luna from dota, but without glaive and with a lot of energy issues. 
Why?
I want Valerian to be a lategame hypercarry with his ult, similar to how Jinara is right now. 
So Valerian has a decent laning stage because of his Q, but it's hard for him to become online
because of his energy issue. He has good INT scaling, but really, the time he comes online is when he gets his level 15 mastery,
as it gives him stronger everything. Before that he can still provide slows, spell penetration,
mini stuns, and attack damage for his team because of how his kit works, and of course big ults.
I made the ult weaker than luna's ult in dota, but with the lvl 20 mastery it becomes one of the
strongest ults in the game, like Mengsk and Jackson. He is quite low damage,
but that's why I gave him good scaling on Q. 

His W makes him decent in lane, but he is immobile and doesnt have very good attack speed.
So you really want to put him short lane and just let him farm most of the time,
he doesnt really have kill pressure even if he's put with a strong support with slows or stuns
like Vega or medic, but you could also put him with like an egon, which would work well with his kit,
solving his energy issues and providing good utility. Valerian can slow someone with W and then
Egon can silence them, giving them an opportunity for a kill.

Anyway. Valerian is a hard scaling hypercarry with a weak early game because of his
low movement speed and low early game damage, combined with energy issues.
He is gonna have a hard time positioning, but his W and Q will help him catch enemies,
and once he hits level 6, which is a big powerspike for him, he will be able to get kills.
