Will I run into issues if I add 16gb of corsair vengeance 3200mhz with my patriot viper 4 2800mhz (16gb) on a asus Maximus VIII Hero mobo?

Having the same physical memory layout on both channels is the only requirement to dual-channel. Whether or not the memory configuration will be stable or even work at all due to variations between DIMMs, motherboards and CPUs is a different story, especially at higher frequencies.

not sure, one thing is certain, the lower speed ram will make the higher speed ram to lower his speed

both brands must be same clock speeds and timigs so you keep the dual channel feature available, not likely with two different brands and speeds

The only requirement for dual-channel is that memory loading has the same layout on both channels. The timings don't matter, you just end up running all the memory at the slowest frequency and timings of the set to accommodate the worst timings of the lot.
