Overrated: Tremor.
Seconded.
Actual content:
Overrated: Shang Tsung. Morphing is lame.
Underrated: Fujin. Dude could be so much with MK's current engine.
Overrated: Tremor.
Gameplay wise:
Overated- Kung Lao: There isn't much work that has to be put into him. He's fast, range of specials. There's no challenging fighting as him.
Ermac: He's cool and all, but man can his juggles get any more repetitive? Or how about that distance on force push?
Underated- Sheeva: So much potential with her. She is great in damage and has awesome range.
Sindel: People think she's all about the zoning, but she has great mixups up close and an anti jump in yell.
Character wise
Overated- Rain: I just don't think his story is that interesting.
Reptile: What do we actually know about him? He serves who? We know nothing except that he has a long tongue and spits acid. There isn't much story to him.
Underated- Sindel: She was forced into marriage with Shao Kahn, sacrificed herself to protect her daughter and her realm. She was ressurected evil. Then changed to good. Queen of Edenia. She has a great story imo.
Kabal: It was nice to see what actually happened to him and how he got burned. Wish they would put more emphasis on all characters like this.
Are you sure all of them have potential? Hsu Hao? Taven? Daegon? Sareena? Kira? Kobra? to name a few...
Some have (Havik, Hotaru, Fujin, Ashrah and maybe a few more) but not all of them.

That's just a simple opinion. Just because there are characters you don't like, doesn't mean there's no potential. I didn't like Smoke or Rain before MK9, and the game totally sold me on them. The developers clearly saw potential in these characters to begin with, or they wouldn't have put them in. I'm not talking about who you like or dislike. It'd be easy for me to say "I never want to see Mavado in another Mortal Kombat game again" just because I dislike the character, but who knows, maybe the next time they do him they'll pull off somebody I can get behind. There's a difference between something's potential and it's execution.
Secondly, respectfully, no, the ninjas aren't all based on the elements. Sure, Scorpion has a few fire attacks, but he hasn't always, and his power comes from being a spectre from Hell, not from literally having fire powers, but still, you may have a point. You might have a point with smoke too. But what about Ermac? Reptile? Is Ermac's element 'souls'? Is Reptile's acid? Or how about Mileena, Kitana, Jade, Cyrax, or Sektor? If you want more elemental ninjas in your Mortal Kombat, that's your prerogative. I personally prefer a bit more variety.
underrated is by far Stryker i remember in the arcades always picking him and the people would get all mad and say he has a gun that bs of course he has a gun he a ****ing cop
Overrated: Sub-Zero and Raiden
This trailer should keep quiet any haters on Stryker
Overrated: Scorpion
Underrated: Stryker
Gameplay wise
Overrated: Kung Lao
Underrated: Still stryker
sweet when i saw that i was like hell yeah Stryker is back and wearing his old great outfit not that gay one from MK:A
i hated that they made kabal, stryker's cop buddy.. it just doesnt suit at all..
i saw him as being more of a outworld desert nomad kinda dude..
His MKA outfit was an insult to him. Although his MKA alternate was BADASS
that one blows, but this armageddon one is cool

Wow, that's so cool. NRS made some cool concepts for MK9 but they dropped them.
The first one from the second row is awesome. (green soldier)
