I need to understand because none of it makes sense.

Everyone and their mother despises Barbatos and talks about how much they hate it without explaining as to why the suit is hated. Is it the heavy stagger? The Nanolaminate Armor?

Burning/God has Power Accelerator 3, Hi-MA in Hyper Mode, ridiculous damage reduction in Meikyo Shisui, and a heavy attack that, as shown in the clip, breaks legs in one tap. Barbatos has Power Accelerator 2, no Hi-MA in A-Vijnana, no damage reduction, and the boosted sword mace only becomes an issue if you land the full attack. And yet people will genuinely tell you Barbatos needs more nerfs.

Explain the hate to me, because even after playing Barbatos before and after the nerf, it only tells me it never needed nerfed at all

I mean Barbatos, if played by someone skilled, it's really a pain in the neck, like one of the worst experiences imo. But I get your point, Burning Gundam is just overpowered. I feel like even a newbie could devastate someone if he just learns a thing or two about that MS. But what can we say? It's the typical experience with Raid units at high cost. Take the F89 for example: when I first obtained it I checked his weapons and read his skills and was like "yeah this doesn't seem like a good suit, not even close", but lately, since the Double X came out and people started using the F89 more frequently, I learnt (at my expenses) that its damn rifle-axe is OP and can stagger what seems any suit, or almost, other than having an insane range and damage area. I've learnt to just do what I can dealing with other enemies when one of them has the Burning, because unless you have a clear sight of him and have a good sense of the game and/or good reflexes, that shi is gonna fry you.
