No, that's not what being a Designated Villain is about.

Designated Villain is when the villain has more laudable and better goals than the Hero. Or where the hero is heroic but called evil for no reason, like in Overlord Dark Legend.

There was an episode of Angel where Faith is working on redemption, Buffy comes in wanting to kill her, and Angel basically tells her off. Would Buffy be the Designated Villain in this case?
