by her design do you mean aesthetically or how she actually plays?
cuz i think her playstyle is phenomenal, she's like Keqing and Fishcl rolled into one character and 1000 times stronger than both,
aesthetically, im not upset, but I know some ppl are, I think that the early reveal silhouette where she's not wearing pants and has long hair really got ppl excited, then she's officially reveal and it's like "oh..."
Visually yeah, i dont like how purple and generic her design looks. Expected more from 5 star archon character.
Baals playstyle was fun indeed. Baal may be stronger than some other characters but consider Genshins only competitive content is Spiral Abyss and it favors whales i dont see any reason to pull characters in this game just because they are strong.
One of the many reasons why I don't play the game nearly as much anymore, the grind for good artifacts is kind of ridiculous and quite luck-based with a lot of content like spiral abyss and these arena modes where you can handicap yourself for better rewards really being made harder and harder in order to give whales a reason to invest more into the game.
