As the grueling battle finally reaches it's conclusion, Poppy leaves the Rift, looking on to her team-mates, waving her one final goodbye. A faint smile cracks through Poppy's lips, as she looks at her body, riddled with the wounds and scars from years of fighting. Poppy's face saddens as she thinks: "Damn, i still got it, even after all this time...hope i made you proud dad". As she looks up, the sky beings to darken, clouds converging on top of her. Poppy looks up. "And here he comes", she thought. A figure of power and chaos emerges, shooting lighting everywhere. Poppy knew this day would come, she had tried to avoid it, but the call of battle was simply greater, than the fear of this day. Poppy : "Morello" Morello : "I warned you Poppy, that if you ever set foot on a competitive League i would return to finish you off" Poppy: "And i warned you that if you didn't finish the job last time, i would return...i was made for battle, and your nerfs won't change that...look at me! I'm old, weakened from years of nerfs, bugs and an out-dated kit. But somehow i'm still stronger than most of your pets" Morello: "Oww don't worry...after years of being insulted by your mere existence, this time I.WILL.FINISH.YOU.OFF" Morello reaches back, displaying his most lethal weapon: the nerf-hammer. As Poppy looks on a strange sense of calm washes over her. As she watches Morello rear his hammer, she drops her own hammer, smiles with a wicked smile, puts up both middle fingers and shouts with all her heart, while Morello's hammer descends apon her one last time: "FUCK YOU MORELLO!!!"

That's a relief. You wouldn't happen to have a link handy where this was stated?

it was a red post somewhere that I read on surrenderat20.net, couldn't tell you exactly who said it off the top of my head but she is so underplayed there isn't any reason to nerf her

It's not the nerf-hammer she has to worry about, it's the rework guillotine.

It's done.

Two years of competitive league, but Unicorns of Love feel like they're the first team I can genuinely call my favourite

because no other team would have the guts to pull a picky as gutsy as Poppy, when down 2-0 in what could be one of the most important games of their lives.

Their top, Vizicsacsi is now like a national hero for LoL players here in Hungary. He's the first Hungarian to enter LCS and he even wrote himself into it's history book by havin Phreak tell most Puns Of Damage per minute.

Honestly, he's possibly my favourite player right now just for his guts.

Sometimes, playing the unexpected means that the other team doesn't know how to counter you. The element of surprise can be a really great psychological tool.

I think even Milennium were suprised with the poppy bursts although they are the pro team. Imagine them panicing and asking what her skills do. xD

I loved this game, and the poppy pick was brilliant in this situation, but people should not mistake that for poppy being strong in an overall sense. Poppy has far more bad lane matchups than good, and even then can be denied the farm she needs by jungle pressure. She works as a dedicated counter pick. Now if you can survive the lane with semi decent farm, poppy becomes an absolute monster who can dive the enemy team on a whim an delete people while taking no damage.

For long term game health though, poppy will need a rework. Her kit has a TON of scalings, deceptive damage sources/types, and very little conterplay when her ult is active. The only way to beat her is deny her gold. Failing that, you are probably screwed.

Poppy is fine.. Her kit is ridiculous I agree but she has some very blatant weaknesses.. Her laning phase is horrible.. She can be easily harassed and ganked... She also contributes nothing to early game team fights... There are some other champs that works like this which are currently played in the LCS (Ryze comes to mind)...

In the game mentioned by OP, Poppy got fed by the toplaner and jungle very early in the game... This accelerated her ramp up and she got very powerful very quick... Its the same as feeding a Vayne or a Fiora early...

She's broken. Not op, not up, just broken. Her ultimate has little to no counterplay, building tanky against her is a case of get banshees or die and her passive is insanely strong.

Poppy excuse me sir, correct me if im wrong, but poppy is a FINE champion. She isnt played because people dont want to play her, not because she's a bad champ. As a new poppy main, i find this extremely offensive.

AbodyHUN6661 votes

actually she is quite gold dependent, can't escape ganks and does little damage when behind. She was nerfed to hell because her ult has no counterplay and actually the only way to stop her is to deny her gold.

Wildfire GoG1 votes

Well u can fix that by being a good player. You build ruby sightstone onn her first, use the wards right, dont GET ganx, also her ulti is amazing for escaping. Place it on the least dangerous person and ur home free. With the new wards u can farm in peace, get gold. Counter-play is present, you can have your AD carry initiate on to her and Then she is forced to use her ult on him or die by everyone else who is now closing in on her. If Poppy Was poorly designed, she would be changed.

AbodyHUN6661 votes

those huge nerfs to her laning are in place to stop players from using and abusing her powers. Actually there are many champs waiting for their reworks Poppy is one of them, they just don't know how to change her.

Any champion can win, but it doesn't seem fair for Riot to nerf her :(
