Was Steelix ever good?
By good if you mean OU good no.
But I've had fun with a curse trick room set. It likes sandstorms.

Yes, is Snorlax the meta and Steelix is his counter, and can also wall every Electric-type in the tier
Was a good wall in the more stall-based metagame of all

Steelix doesn't counter Snorlax (Earthquake or Fire Blast are seen on most, if not all, Snorlax). You're right about the Electrics, especially Raikou. Steelix can't do much to Zapdos, though.

Was rock slide not a thing?
