While far from an abject failure of game design like the worst entries of the X series, I don't think it's an exceptionally hot take to express the opinion that Mega Man 5 is both the weakest and most forgettable title of the numbered classic series. Its mostly lackluster robot masters whose weapons are outclassed by the charge shot, soundtrack that only has a few songs leave an inprint on my brain, and general "been there, done that" feel with nary a thing to give it its own unique flair, make it a game that rarely ever crosses my mind unless I'm specifically talking about classic Mega Man.
