What talents you think are useful but are underused?. I think Junkrat’s unloading all 3 shots talent is kinda underrated.
I mean… that talent makes your biggest dmg source way too predictable.
I’d say Tourmented Souls.

The one that extends Jimmy’s Q Heavy Slug
Good for last hitting

Azmodan’s Battleborn, especially when paired with Bombardment. Allows you to easily halve Demon Lieutenant cooldown which gives you a lot more map pressure.

Boombox on Lucio. Only 10% pick ratio according to HeroesProfile (reverse amp 75%). But you can drop it on 1 lane to heal your solo laner while going on another lane and healing up your teammates. I don’t understand why it’s not more popular.

My pick for an underrated talent would be Covert Ops (no W mana cost and more slowing power) for Nova. I’ve grown fond of the talent because it offers the most utility and makes her very imposing as a ganker early game.
Because most casual players can’t handle utilizing an additional button, making activatables unfavorable to them.
For example, take a look at Chromie’s talent pickrates by copypasting https://www.heroesprofile.com/Global/Talents/?hero=Chromie.
Take a look at her 1, 11, 14, and 18 talent tiers. Notice how the activatable talents are noticeably lower pickrate? Level 5 is the anomaly because there is no activatable talent on that tier, therefore the talents have healthy pickrates with no stand-out overpowered one.

Raises hand in shame I use Bunny Hop on DVA often and it has been working surprisingly well for me in certain situations (stop laughing I am serious). The slow and unstoppable pairs amazingly well with AOE mage heroes kealthas, jaina, kelthuzad and so fouth, allowing you to secure important takedowns on squishy priority targets with low mobility like Ana. Bunny Hop has its uses even though most of the community considers it a troll talent at this point. The level 20 upgrade for it is unexciting though.

Tassadar’s Oracle CDR talent on 13 lvl.
Hallucination is too OP.

Blessed Champion on Uther at level 13 is actually quite decent, especially with melees on your team that go in hard. It’s even better with Tyr’s Deliverance and you can get over 300 hp per auto combining those two. Also the spell shield is actually really good with correct timing.
Edit: Tyr’s Deliverance has the lowest pickrate in the tier!?! This is actually upsetting.

And makes your main dmg source have less damage.

XStrike. It’s not really underrated, but people think it’s only used for escapes when it’s actually an amazing burst damage ability (and the 20 is OP).
It reduces one charge but halves its cd, so your dmg is actually higher… if you can hit with it… 
I love X-strike, especially for finishing off people who might get away or doing high team damage.

Which means your damage is lower 
It also takes away your amazing poke ability at objectives. You can stall forever with your normal grenades.
Not to mention the fact that endless nades is 5000% superior

Bunny Hop was never bad, the problem was Big Shot provides to much for D.Va especially when she’s pretty much empty when it comes to pilot, one shot aligned correctly with bigshot can turn a 45 seconds call mech cooldown into 3 (on top of cast time and stuff) if you use it instantly as you exit the mech.
Stop and Pop only works when you can have someone who can root them in place or just combo it with Mosh Pit, other than that if you can B-Hop movement (basically micro while ulting) you can basically maintain the extra bonus just right.

Last Laugh on Alarak. Think i have only seen one Alarak use that talent, but he was also good with it.

I’ve never seen someone stutter steps with Stop and Pop. I guess they don’t want that 3.1k dmg, which is more than the center of her nuke. It’s pretty much how I win late team fights in under 15 sec. Also, Pro Moves, Expensive Plating and Nanoweave Suit makes it easier.
Slow on 4 > Alex
Intimidating presense > any tank (aoe slow + reduced att speed)
Blessed by the light and Heavens fury > johanna
If you hit 2 people with heavens fury bolts the cd is almost non existent
I mean, if you really want to be maximum efficiency with the ultimate, you can do so like that, they stay more inside of Bunny Hop and you keep putting both damage and pressure on them.
it simply does not last long enough.
Really!? That’s a really good talent. Man you add that level 7 quest to it and you can just spam sight all night baby! Cool down? what’s a cool down?
