Did anyone else avoid getting a ship because it was TOO overpowered

Everyone knows to avoid playing ships that are extremely bad, but does anyone else get put off from getting a ship because it's too busted or stupid

For example when Libertad was announced I actually thought it was interesting being a ship with large caliber secondaries, but then with all the pointless buffs it got and seeing its stupid armor scheme and way too good maneuverability, I decided not to get it because it seemed too overpowered and braindead to be interesting to play, but if they nerfed the acceleration and rudder down to something reasonable I think I would actually try to get it

Likewise with the Yimeng in the holiday convoy, I actually think the core of the ship is pretty interesting with the secondaries and improved AP pen angles, but as a torp boat enjoyer the stupid braindead anti torpedo consumable makes me want to throw up even though it's not objectively all that powerful, I would be more inclined to get the ship if they just scraped it off making the ship worse

I wonder if anyone else has similar experiences where they would be more interested in getting a ship if it was nerfed down compared to it being toxic and badly designed
