Overrated/Underrated

But, despite all that he was a heavy hitter back in the day, so I won't devalue any of his achievements, hes just not as high up for me as for others, but to each his own.

Next Up: Verity/IV

Didn't know reEF bit rhymes before. Damn. I agree he's a tad bit overrated but hard af to beat when he's on his game.

I don't remember much about IV. I just know she did a few live battles I never really watched cause I felt Don't Flop was a shitty league due to how Eurgh ran it. Record-wise she seems pretty solid, so I mean I guess she's a bit underrated since I'm guessing a lot of people on here didn't really see her as a battler.

Next: Letum

Letum was a perfect example of a middle weight battler on LB. I knew him most as Unyqe, Id say he was most known as a leader in AC's during the dark period and mass exodus after EtH's ban in 2012. Id say if anything hes a bit underrated, he could drop some good stuff on a good day, but he was peaks and valleys. High highs, low lows, but overall consistency just decent.

Phro's got the flow game on lock, for the most part, and is deceptively good at coming up with concepts and getting the most out of them. Dude's been text battling for God knows how long, as well, so he's like a master at his own style at this point. Crazy to think he hasn't won a title on LB yet. Hope he comes back for a good run soon. Underrated af, imo.

Hall of Famer & 3x Champion, he's rated correctly imo but not enough people bring him up in their Top 10 lists but he definitely deserves to be on there. Old school battler from 06' who came up with the best of them. He left sometime around 2008 and came back around 2012 to win 2 tournaments and participate in 5 over the span of 2 years, shows he's adaptable and dope enough to compete at the top level after taking years off.

I read up on some of his more "recent" stuff and it's pretty swagged out, but to me there isn't a whole lot of substance to it (it was probably good back then, but a true great's bars are good at any time you see them or hear them). Even so, I gotta consider this dude underrated since I had never heard of this guy before. Looks like he won a few titles before they were considered official ones as well, so he has that going for him. Underrated it is.

Grizz is good, don't get me wrong, and he was a Heavyweight in his time, but I always felt like he was overrated, his wording was forced and some of his stuff always came across a little choppy imo. But when he was on his A game he was a force.

@Shodan you wanna speak on this one? I feel like you could probably do this one more justice.
