Normally, The Abridged Series is meant to serve as a parody of the original work while making the characters out to be parodies of themselves yet still find ways of being likable, and still managing to adhere to The Stations of the Canon in the long run.
My Hero Abridged is The Abridged SeriesIn Name Only. None of the characters resemble their original selves at all, the plot is completely butchered in the interest of creating an original narrative that reads like a Character Shilling Bakugo fanfic, and it can be painful to watch if you like the original.
But its not solely because its In Name Only that its bad, Sword Art Online Abridged is amazing despite most of the cast barely resembling their canon selves and taking liberties with the plot, since it ultimately ends up improving on canon and fleshing out what was once bare bones or generic. Nor is it the fact most of the characters are unlikable, since again, SAOA has Kirito and Asuna be a pair of sociopathic heroes and yet they can still be funny and actually have Character Development that makes them more likable.
No, its the fact its just so obviously just another Character Shilling work for Bakugou. Bakugou can work as a character because he has flaws, and because he isn't the star of the show, Midoriya is. Not!Bakugou has little flaws after he begins expressing regret over somehow giving Midoriya cancer, he's inexplicably a Polyglot when talking to the french speaking Ashido, everyone keeps singing his praises, and it feels like he's the main character now. Even the one thing that constituted a flaw or mark against him, his giving Midoriya cancer, is then revealed to have not been his fault, but rather Uraraka's fault. Not!Bakugou feels less like Bakugou and more a Black Hole Sue. Nearly everything revolves around him. Even when Midoriya is the focus character, he's a Supporting Protagonist to Bakugou's story.
Unless you can somehow find this series better than the original work it claims to parody, don't bother watching it.
