Problem is that with three abilities with (albeit brief) hard CC any champ that particularly depends on channeled abilities is going to have a hard time playing against her. Fids, Katarina, and Nunu are the ones that immediately spring to mind. I'm not sure how it'd affect others particularly but it might have too much disruptive potential, but that's the sort of thing I'd want to playtest were I actually a developer working on something like this. I know a .1 second stun doesn't sound like much, but a strong .1 second slow on the Q in Trundle's rework has proven to actually be very useful despite not sounding like that much on paper.

As for the shred I find the best way to consider rework or new champ ideas is to compare and contrast with existing champs for an idea of relative strengths. Jax is the most obvious example of a champ dealing mixed damage but he doesn't have any form of shred himself so he finds it similarly difficult to itemise penetration. I believe the justification for this though is that mixed damage is also hard to itemise -against-, as you can't just build one form of resistance if you find a champion who deals both to be the biggest threat on the enemy team. The only hybrid who has a simultaneous armor/MR shred with such consistency is Kayle with her passive, but arguably that's meant to be one of her main selling points. Even if it's not though, giving an identical shred to someone else, but stronger, as the passive for one of of their abilities just seems a little odd to me.
