Gambit is Underrated

Wait... whaaaat? BuT gAmBiT iS tRaSh!!! Okay, since I'm one of the only few in this game that actually play champs before judging them and find the best way to play those certain champs, I have found the most underrated one. And his name is Gambit. With his sp1 stun and his sp2 concussion, he is a very versatile champion. He may be a tad bit difficult to play but once you learn his limits you have a solid champion in your hands. He is even capable of outdamaging the almighty Emma Frost! Need proof? Here it is: (Emma has cap iw synergy)

I would not R5 or R4 a gambit simply cause of that. Let alone bring him to content like Aq and Aw.
I like Gambit, I think he's well animated and fun to play with. It's a struggle maintaining his Prowess buffs at times. It's a shame he and Rogue don't have a better unique synergy that prolongs his buffs and her buff steal effects.
Gambit crushes both power reserve paths in the 1st section of variant as well as the final Emma on any path. I used a 4* 4/40 lol. I agree that he isn't that great though.
Yes i know he crushes it thats why i said i seen him used in varient.
A 4* will do just fine, i was talking about 5* being used as r4/5 besides that part.
Nebula, hawkeye, Hulk and psylocke all provide utility that is more difficult to come by than what Gambit can provide. Double immunities is very useful, power control is one of the most valued abilities in the game and hulk is often better for stun locking outside powergain nodes than gambit because with 1 fury his stun is 3 seconds long vs gambit's 2.5 second which doesn't seem like much but the extra hit in the combo makes it much more consistent to chain stuns. Besides all that in the current meta those champions still aren't viewed as all that great except maybe Hawkeye and not many people bring them up to rank 4.
Yeah gambit can dish out some big hits but it's not nearly as consistent as champions like emma frost who you compared him to. Emma gets a huge boost to crit rating and crit damage not just special attack damage so most of her regular combos hit very hard and nearly every sp2 she throws hits those big crits which is certainly not the case with gambit. Getting a bigger hit doesn't mean he is out damaging emma frost, besides not having the increased crit chance his prowess takes time to accumulate while emma's is just gained from combo hits, his DPS is significantly worse.
I don't think he is underrated, people acknowledge his use as a stun locker but he is pretty average outside of that. He isn't bad for say just when he is compared to other champions. There are so many better options in term of DPS you could bring to rank 4 and for stun locking you don't really need him higher thank rank 5 or 4 and 4 star. I'm not saying you shouldn't have ranked him up, rank up who you enjoy playing but that doesn't make him all that great of a champion.
His ramp up takes ages tho
Saying below average and underrated are not exclusive to each other. Jane foster is underrated but is also way below average, in my opinion.
Also, there is a good chance those pics are from pre 12.0 which is a completely different game.
Very misinformed imo
