I think you fail to undestand how valuable an omnidirectional shield that can block energy weapons is in champions league.

Also, Bulwark does best as a midranger, and is used where carnage was once used.

The big thing here is the diffence in the weapons landscape in the upper leauges. Above Diamond I, Avenger is probably the only major Kinetic weapon in use, with Orkans, Tarans, and Embers being extremely common, along with shocktrain and scourge. Bring a Rhino, and your shield won't even come into play: you get blown away with orkans. Bring a carnage, and you instead get blown away with energy weapons. Anciles are barely even used up there, you get blown away, shield or no shield.

The only defenses that even have a chance up there are:
 * 1) Range.
 * 2) Stealth.
 * 3) Bulwark's Aeigis shield.
