My two cents on this: first off, if you want to make a new champion, and you genuinely want them to be on the same level of worth as a proper League champion, you need to be ambitious. This is especially important here because you're just proposing a paper kit, without cool animations and the like to support your idea. Nobody is really going to care about your champion unless they do something that stands out from everyone else, and crossing out potential new mechanics just because they've never been done before is going to doom you to failure. Obviously, you need to make sure your champion is genuinely fun for everyone, including both allies and enemies, but if that basic principle is respected you can make your champion as "broken" as you like. Catus Lepus is an ambitious champion, imo, and has the potential to bring something to League that no other character can via his theme.

With that said, what's equally important is to know when something just doesn't work. "Kill your darlings" is a core tenet of any kind of creative work and, even if some of the greatest creative people don't perfectly respect it, it's massively helpful in refining your work and learning from past experiences. I don't think you need to do that with Catus Lepus, as I think the champion itself is a great idea, but don't think he should be immune to being scrapped or completely redone just because he's "family".
