Under
#1 TB, this hero has so much potential for winning against pretty much any mid hero. It's just too badass.
#2 Bubbles, If you can time your shells good, you're pretty much immortal. Plus his ultimate is massive.
#3 Keeper of the forest, Badass laner nomatter where you place him. Pretty much unharassable. Has a sweet ass ulti and free unlimited wards?
#4 Andromeda, Truly a unique hero with a spell that grants sick vision over a huge part of the map. A stun and a swap that has 20 seconds of cooldown?
#5 Magmus. He's just a beast.
Over
#1 Flint. No point in saying anything else
#2 Maliken. Just takes waay too much farming to be usefull.
#3 Deadwood, I can't believe he's still picked. He can take out one person and after that he's done. Whats the point?
#4 Chronos. He's just banned way too often without any point to it. Sure if he gets farm he's going to destroy you. But if you do your job he won't get farm.
#5 Soulstealer, He's good and he can get sick farm pretty fast cause of his spells. But early game he's squishy and if you don't allow him to farm he will remain squishy.

Mustace all 5 of your underrated heroes are incredibly common picks in 1750-2100 psr games. No one doubts their effectiveness. And yes they are all pretty badass.
Except for keeper hd is overrated ever since violation picked him to go mid.

I consider hag overated because in many matches i ahve played people have picked her saying that they will go immortal, then give up BL and end up going 1-9

My Underrated List:
:ophe: - my most played favorite hero; definitely underrated by like 90% of the community. Needs some advanced pulling techniques/warding /metagame knowledge as well as good microing skills to pull off effectively, but if you have those she's really damn good.
:wild: - No, he does not need to jungle and be a 450gpm ricer to be effective. (try him in lane; beast last hitting, can use bear to just scare people out of exp range easily in dual lanes; disclaimer - takes some microing skill)
:poll: - WtF? Where'd this guy disappear to? He's so damn strong but we never see him anymore. Huge nuke early game, *2* imba disables, one of the best pushers in the game. Barely needs any farm.
:scou: - As much as everyone hates this guy, he's actually freakin strong and a great pick in certain situations if played well lol.. his electric eyes are what make him have so much potential; free counterwarding, huge aoe silence, free wards, etc. Note that I never play Scout and hate when people pick Scout simply because the fact that 90% of the people who pick him f*cken blow lul, but I do acknowledge that he has the potential to be extremely good when played well.
PS - most people build trash items after Runed Axe on him which is why he sucks; actually buy carry items that increase his survivability instead of pubstomp no HP Brutalizer+Shieldbreaker on him and he's a beast of a carry thanks to Vanish movespeed and attack speed + Electric Eye Huge Aoe Silence.
:sand: - Well, people are starting to figure out he has potential to be a total beast now and are crying OP now, but before rofl.. everyone said he was utter garbage trash tier. I really don't think the buffs to him are of much significance, as when playing him properly you should be able to trigger Deserted with its old radius anyway; imo he was always underrated, even before the buffs.

Hard to make this list...
You can't make it for pub games because they don't really count, and in competitive games most heroes that are great aren't overrated, and some heroes aren't underrated, just not used in lineups a lot.
I'll try though.

Overrated:
- Chronos - Most people still dont have farm at 30 min. Its like playing 4 vs 5 1st 40 mins of game.
- Soulstealer - too weak. All he can do is farm. Not bad hero, but overrated. Mid tier.
- Deadwood. He just isnt worth it when there are heroes like TB, Hag, Bubbles, Pebbles etc. Infact there isnt any good reason to pick DW over pebbles. Sure 1-shotting supporters is fun, but really... thats all he can do.
- Zephyr - he isnt picked alot anymore, but still sometimes. Crappy hero overall.
These are all typical 1500-1600 picks.

Polywog is very underrated in lower PSR game because lower PSR usually prefers more kill. Dont get me wrong, poly can own pretty much any heroes with his portable "tower" ult. But it takes more skill.
