Sure, it got nerfed in Gen 6 by losing some resistances, but those only affected Metagross, Bronzong and Aegislash. Plus, it even got better offensively, being super effective against Fairy.

I'm making a concept for my own type, and Steel is weak to it, alongside Water and Electric. But this is a type that has TEN resistances. It is great if you have one but it is just so annoying to fight one because if you don't have any super effective things, you are basically screwed.

I am also aware that Steel also resisted Dark and Ghost until Generation 6. Which meant it has 11 resistances.

When Fairy was introduced to control the Dragon type, it also further pushed out of balance. Steel type became even more powerful and Bug became even more underprivileged.
