Some people think that Cinderhulk meta was the healthiest in recent years. Since boards is big on buzzwords such as
counterplay. Do people actually think that playing against a full tank Cinderhulk 
was a fun to play against experience?
SEKAI2 votesOnly a few champs (more like 2-3) with Cinderhulk are problems, rest are completely healthy.
The strawman needs to stop.

aside that, all classes were perfectly balanced, but yea cinderhulk was the healthiest meta right
Sir ArmaMalum1 votesThis is the definition of a leading question. Personally I'm of the mind that the pattern of smite top during that time was good and fun. Smite gave a little variance to playstyles top-lane before teleport became flat out expected everytime.
Now, to directly answer your question. Yes, I did enjoy playing against that. AFTER the damage on cinderhulk was reduced versus champions. I do agree the damage on cinderhulk was overtuned, as a lot of jungle items turned lane items turn out to be.
However I will address my own personal bias in that I don't usually play assassins but fighters and supports who directly benefit from a tank meta. Assassins and mages will naturally have a much worse time during a tank-meta in the same way adc's and supports will have an awful time in an assassin meta.
In general I'm of the mind that tank metas are easier to adapt to than assassin metas as you can circumvent an overbearing tank with rotating and splitpushing. An assassin meta however requires grouping and good teamfights, which is harder to utilize in solo-q.
But hey, that's just my opinion and I recognize others will have differing opinions based on their favorite champs and strats.

Erockandroll1 votesThe only problem I saw with the Cinderhulk meta, is that the difference between glass cannon and Tanks were growing. And you couldn't just out right buff the glass cannon, without them becoming a problem for other glass cannons.
And this Made Duelists not existant, until Riot decided to create transparency between glass cannons and tanks with (Circumstantial) %HP true damage. And that's what people are complaining about right now. (even though a duelist is still fairly glass cannon, and should be weak against assassins.)
KONO RUBICK DA1 votesWOW, GRAGAS WAS OP WITH CINDERHULK, IT MEANS THAT CINDERHULK WAS TOXIC. MEANWHILE DEVOURER MADE MORE THAN 9 CHAMPS OP IS HEALTHY XD.
