Why is Rho Aias being banned for being 7-A in durability? Last I'd checked, the ban on higher tiers for this sort of thing only applied to the AP values, not to the Durability (and certainly not the durability of specific techniques that are also directional shields, at least if this worlds at all like Rho Aias does in its canon.) Are we banning Avalon too, then?

The standards for what is considered "unfair" hax are very undefined, within the thread of origin, which adds to the difficulty of evaluating an already kinda complex match. Agreed, however it's not like Shirou is defenseless without it.

For example he has his upgraded reinforcement which is comparable to archers. Then their is his blademail skin(part of his  Dead Apostle thing) which can block servant level attacks( Medusa has C rank strength and B rank 'Monstrous Strength') and he also has the Iris lens shield he got from Gill that can rebound any attack launched at it.

and that's not even counting the stuff he got off the servants of the 5th HGW thanks to his pure eyes and are stored in UBW.

Examples being Perseus' Mirror-shield(from rider's history), Lord Camelot(from saber's history), The Pelt of the Divine Beast(from Berserkers history) and Countless others from Gilgamesh.
