This meta has a couple, a few, issues remaining that are honestly so much less bad than people make them out to be.
Contrary Dragapult:
This thing is broken. Period. It nukes through any form of stall, OHKO's Toxapex w/ ice scales and 2hko's ferrothorn w/ ice scales (which ignores it can just click flamethrower bc mah +2), has an insane speed that makes even some scarfers not outspeed (and it runs scarf itself, usually, cause why not, contrary DMeteor doesn't need anything else). If people want to not ban contrary, cool, fine by me, but ban this then.
Toxapex:
Toxapex might be a broken element of the meta due to its innate bulk added to furscales being a thing, and that it donates regenerator to your entire team. However, people seem to be ignoring the fact that infestation, mean look, whirlpool perish song, are all viable ways to get rid of stally Pokemon. If you're not willing to bring something like that in a meta where stall is very strong, then who's to blame for you losing? Yeah. You. On a team with taunt (plenty of
users) it's the freest kill of your life. Adapt.
"Weather being banned":
One of the arguably worst arguments is banning regenerator and unbanning weather's speed control.
You're allowed to not like stall. Really. But some people do happen to like it, and might dislike HO. There is no reason to favor one play style over the other, and the things that were banned are banned because it was apparent they broke the meta when they were around without proper counter play possibilities, much like Dragapult with contrary on its own.
Regenerator is not that. It has counter play. Most people just seem incapable or unwilling to even try and use it.
