edit: since forum moderators seem to think these are not gameplay/balance issues n deleted my thread ill post it here, even though it is a gameplay issue, well i consider an entire champion being broken and worthless to be a major gameplay issue but what do i know?

So new poppy looks nice but feels terrible to play due to a few bugs.

The E bugs all of em!

  1. When passive is up poppy attempts to throw shield first resulting in E being effectively disabled for key moments she needs it
  2. Casting E then Q results in poppy dropping Q early causing it to miss by a mile and a half
  3. Even when shield is down poppy will not initiate E even though she is barely in range

Model bugs: Her hammer is considered part of her model/has its own hitbox for unit collision which means her weapon can get stuck while her main model is free or even worse BOTH can get stuck, if the hammer gets stuck it appears to disable your auto attacks until you get it unstuck, this results in feeling like a fully stacked cho vs minions that cannot reliably auto attack...... ( this might not be the case for the hammer but it certainly feels like this is what is happening/looks like it visually )

Passive bugs while jungling: The passive in the jungle does one of two things it either A throws it so far away its not worth retrieving or B throws it into/behind a minion model which poppy cannot pickup due to her above mentioned hitbox issues. I.E her shield should behave differently if enemy monsters are around and no enemies are around.

Her W feels useless unless fighting a dash champion, vs blink champions or unstoppable if they jump into poppys field while it is up why can't they be hit with a movement speed slow instead? alternatively since it is called steadfast presence while it is up evil should not be able to hide from poppy in effect it should break invisibility that steps into its range after all evil cannot hide from a hero right?

another bug---> playing as blitz i got knocked back by poppy and I went fairly far out of the fight and it permanently locked my screen so it would stay only on my character and I couldn't unlock it via unlock icon.

It's hillarious Riot spent years on this rework, then spent two weeks teasing us even further, then finally release a bugged rework. Riot is so competant it's amazing. They are too strong and never do wrong best company always polite employees good people.

I also found that when charging a monster in the jungle, you would often get stuck behind the said monster. The pathing is also very weird with Poppy.. I got a few moment yesterday where she would either not go where I want, or just stop moving. Plz RitO!
