If you had the bad luck to face me today after the last update, then you most likely got your ass kicked by a crit from one of those guys.
Here are some victims:

Unburden + Booster Energy is the strongest form of speed control left, you are pretty much forced to not switch after the first use, but who cares when nothing can take more than two hits from these slicing machines, Sharpness has some funny overlap with Super Luck allowing you to easily get pass defense boosting teams like furescales+stamina and prank berries while dealing too much damage at high speed for other offensive teams to fight back.
What do you guys thing? Is Unburden the problem or with the lacks of 3 terrains is just Booster Energy that is breaking the ability?
Or people just need to adapt after such a big tiering change?
Is there anything else that you see as a potential problem in the tier?
Honestly, I think the meta is just a few bans away from being in a good spot.
Now you too can say "I swept a team in showdown by spamming Slash"!
