He was underrated before because people were idiots. He's been strong since release, but a lot of people were just put off by his ult, which is understandable because it's arguably one of the worst in the game.

He really took off once people realized how strong the rest of his kit was and that he needs to be built with a heavier emphasis on casting. He's arguably one of the safest ADCs at the moment as well; a no-cost dash that removes slows AND procs his (rather awesome) passive is just as good, if not better than, Arcane Shift.

Also, for the record, I'm not sure about top 10 winrates or any BS like that, but Ez/Corki/Graves used to be considered the holy trinity of ADCs around the end of S2. I think there was even a Patch Preview video a while ago addressing them.
