With 1.5.2, the Qi Seasoning received a heavy nerf, in which Speed foods are no longer boosted by +1 speed. This heavily nerfed Crab Cakes in particular, as the duration boost was pointless, but the problem I see was that in order to zoom around, you were required to use a valuable seasoning on a Triple-Shot Espresso. +3 speed wasn't that bad with the standard combination of gold star speed food and a regular Triple-Shot Espresso. I normally love every update. I see many nerfs as necessary. But this nerf wasn't needed. A duration boost alone would have made the seasoning even more worth it. I can't see a reason to use the seasoning now outside of Luck or Fishing boosting.
