Most Insufferable Two Characters: Haruta and Ryu
My opinion: why won't these two get nerfs? there's so much packed in their kits that makes them insufferable to fight against, and the reason for that is because they ARE UNBALANCED.
for example, ryu'a granite blast spam and him being able to keep distance/fend off anyone going to him immediately with second helping. if you meet a mildly competent Ryu, they know how to utilize this spammy gameplay that feels unfair to punish even with the recharge passive
Haruta, I don't even want to get into detail with this dude. he can disrupt your m1 combo, technically has 95 hp with miracles, and is the most f##ng annoying character when they play passive with the sword down because HIS MECHANICS actively reward him for playing that way.
I don't mind unique playstyles, what I don't mind is the game feeling like you aren't given enough tools / or the character is given enough drawbacks for the amount of things they could do, compared to cother characters.
even hanami after nerf and m1 endlag buff feels fair to fight against now personally, because they actually reworked her kit to make it feel like you still have more tools to work around her long range moves (e:g she has no front dash lasso and her defense response has no more iframes compared to say ryu's second helping). though, I understand why people still dislike her.
please PLEASE just balance them
