So there is a lot of discussion of what needs to get banned next, but something worth bringing up is that according to a few top players I've talked to, there are no real "S-Rank" mons in the current meta. Gambit's Tera reliance (which has increased opportunity cost now imo) + the increased usage of mons that annoy it like Zamazenta and Encore Ogerpon make it a bit less of an S-Rank pick than it was pre-DLC, Great Tusk doesn't like the presence of Gliscor and Ogerpon, in addition to moves like Flip Turn and Grassy Glide having wider distribution. Gholdengo is pretty good, but the number of mons that can outspeed and threaten it is still fairly high and it HATES Iron Moth's increased usage. Ogerpon is threatining for sure, but like Kingambit, it hates Zamazenta's increased usage, doesn't like Hazards, and can be forced to Tera vs certain mons like Cinderace or Iron Moth. Gliscor is a strong with a decent variety of sets, but its EV spread can make or break it in several MUs, struggles with some common mons like Ogerpon and ATales, and can have all its progress undone in one fell swoop by Cinderace, though it matches up quite well vs the Rabbit.
Others may disagree, but that lack of S-Rank mons implies to me that the metagame is in a relative state of balance currently. Now this could change as certain strategies become more popular or fall out of favor, but we likely don't need to rush into the next suspect at this point.
