All About Poppy!

While I have waited for news on the Poppy rework I got to thinking about the core of her theme; what made her special to me. It has come down to a few very specific things which I will list here.

1. Poppy is fearless , she doesn't care about what she has to go through or how much she has to take, your going down.

2. Poppy is focused: no matter your build, her kit is all about handling ONE target. Nothing else matters.

3. Poppy is high risk / high reward: Any decent Poppy player knows that her early game is terrible, and her late game is ungodly, but the theme of risk goes deeper. Every dash, ult, or all-in is a gamble that may leave you worse than before, with many fights ending up a battle of nerves, where you rely on your passive to help you through something that seems impossible.

That is the poppy I know and love, and the one that I wish to see maintained. What about you guys? What do you think is core to the blue bullet?

Poppy has already been slated for a rework by Riot.

I am well aware of this, and have even begun my post by talking about waiting for it to come out. My general thought here is to get people talking, to increase Poppy's visibility and to help the design team get a better understanding of what is core on Poppy. We don't want another Karma now do we?
