How to farm with Poppy?

Top early like lvl 3 -6 I seem to always get zoned. I love playing her but I need farm to carry. I've just been chilling under tower and soaking up experience and taking krugs

If you're getting zoned from cs-ing (I'm guessing you against a ranged champ or a lane bully who's ahead), then just stay back & farm when your passive up so you can CS from safety. When you have your shield on, you can go in for some CS without losing too much health unless your laner opponent is fed. You can also farm with your Q, but try to aim it in a way that damages your opponent if they try to attack you (this only works if they're melee of course).

Another advice not specific to Poppy is to go in when an important basic ability of their's is on cooldown. This should give you some time to grab some CS without worrying about being poked down & allow you to avoid unfavorable trades. Take Garen's Q for example, he can't initiate & silence you if he uses it on a minion. You will still have your abilities available if he tries to Spin2Win all over your face. Though this advice may not be as useful if their abilities have a low cooldown. If they're using their abilities wisely instead of mindlessly spamming abilities, they're not giving much safe time. And ranged champs can still auto you.

Honestly, probably not the best person to be giving advice since I really don't play SR the most, but I do dabble a good deal with Poppy.

My insight here; your passive automatically comes back to you if you kill the target with your shield. Having that up and then going in for some CS would avoid taking some of the poke you might getting. Your Q is what you should be maxing first as well as what you mostly want to use to wave clear. Little more risky, but if you can get in that early bully at level 3, then you can force lane back into your favor. With your E, Q combo, you can get a good deal of damage off, and then escape with your W; preventing up dash champions from closing the distance as well.

Again, I don't play the most SR, so I don't know how useful those tips will be, but as a Poppy player and a little bit of a League loser, there should be something in there worthwhile. So hopefully this helped some a little bit at least. :33 Good luck out there in your games, and make sure to give 'em hell! Poppy is the best bully League has to offer if you ask me. x3 <3
