Malzahar's ult: because nothing is more fun than CC'ing yourself for 2.5 seconds.

Actually though, I love it. The damage is totally worth it.

Veigar's updated e. Oh wait, that's just unnoticed, not underrated.

Sona's E-Power Chord.

A lot of people will go straight for the Q-Chord because HOLY POOP LOOK AT THAT HUGE CHUNK OF HEALTH GO AWAY! But think about that E-Chord: Not only is she speeding up allies around her to catch the little morsel they're chasing, but she's also able to slow them down.

Sona Accelerated movement, I concur!

yes having been learning sona because of the ultimate skin, I don't understand why people use Q and only Q so much.

E chord is a 2s 40%+ slow at all ranks!

W chord is harder to judge, because Q chord killing them faster will also effectively reduce damage, but 20%+ damage reduction can still be pretty nice in many situations.

It is pretty good for catching enemies trying to escape, but other than that you don't really use it (especially laning wise). Another reason is most likely because Staccato is more accessible due to being the lowest cooldown ability.

I guess you could consider Dimunendo an underrated CC, but it doesn't last long and really no one seems to ever noticed when someone's been debuffed (which was supposed to be remedied with the rework......)

Malphite's Q. Does respectable damage and is really handy for chasing/escaping.

Maokai 's Q PROJECTILE slow.

I litterally got "WTF"ed more than once for landing this. The ennemy wasn't understanding the basic concept of the visual of the Q.

I don't think wither is very underrated..

how about Brand 's stun. Isn't it the longest single target stun in the game?

The great part about it is that, like the Spanish Inquisition, no one ever seems to expect it. I will literally E someone who then makes no effort to dodge my Q, then eats the stun and dies.

But nobody is stupid enough to actually go near him these days.
