Cust, the Guardian of Shurima. He's the bodyguard of former Shuriman emperors (I believe Shurima has been all emperors, no kings; there is a difference between their positions)... but is he Ascended?

While all Shuriman champions do not have to be an Ascended (such as ), there is wasted potential in creating an Ascended who is less a gatekeeping and more an actual. That slot is technically open, as Shurima has no dedicated Tank, with only being an off-tank if you were wondering. Thus, I would recommend making Cust an Ascended. And if he is to be an Ascended, he best be based off one of the Egyptian gods as the other Ascended do, just to keep in line with consistency. For Cust... either Isis (goddess of healing, marriage and protection) or Ma'at (goddess of justice and balance). Sadly, has taken the scarab away with his one skin, but what's done is done. Just know that even with a theme upgrade, it does not guarantee the success of the custom champion.

Nonetheless, let's see what the Champ has to offer in regards to gameplay.

Defensive supports are nothing new, so unless you plan on having a solid theme that would let the champion be unique thematically, one should not slouch with gameplay (well, it's best if you do not do poorly with either in the first place). Your focus is "able to block great amounts of damage, although needing to be directly near said ally to negate such damage." It's alright, but a simple "I stand next to him and block" does not make for intriguing gameplay; gives an example of some form of exciting gameplay in regards to guarding allies from lots of damage. You add a few more details, mentioning Cust's lack of disengage tools but a power team-built CC. These points are somewhat foreseeable, so I believe these details (along with other gameplay details) would be better placed under the kit so that people will read the kit and understand from there how the kit works.
