This game has a ton of uncontrollable rng, and on top of that you get speed potions + dupe on consume trinket. With that, whoever can drink more times in a row gets the best time. No skill involved beyond being able to do the route no matter how slowly. So my suggestion is to ban speed potions when the new patch comes out. This can very easily be done with a mod (the same I've talked about in a different thread).
