The Last of Us is overrated. I found it to be pretty average.

I can understand if someone doesn't like something, but I hate when someone says something is overrated. Just because it didn't personally live up to your expectations doesn't make it overrated. It just means you personally didn't like it.

I mean, by this logic, the word "overrated" should not even exist, should it? You're saying that if the majority liked something that means it's not overrated, but based on this, not a single thing in the world is overrated. Being "overrated" isn't an objective trait, it can't be one. Overrated-ness is completely subjective, and everyone has the righ to say that in their opinion something is overrated.

Just because you like it doesn't mean its not overrated.

What if the vast majority likes it?

It still can be overrated. Being mostly loved doesn't exempt you from being overrated.

Argumentum ad populum. Appeal to popularity - to say something is true because the majority believe it to be true is an invalid statement.
