Poppy jungle advice and viability?

Fyzzex·3/8/2015, 2:10:56 AM·1 votes·716 views

So I've been messing around in team builder playing a lot of Poppy jungle and I'm really liking it. I have the ability to farm forever and by utilizing my passive i can take camps like gromp, krugs, and buffs at low health. This added on to the fact that post first clear I clear fairly quickly and generally enemy junglers have a hard time fighting me in the jungle, I'm surprised this isn't more common. My current problem is the fact that not only do I have minimal experience in higher levels of solo queue, so I have no clue as to if I even play it right but I'm not sure if it even works the higher you go.

For reference I play fairly passive until i get my enchantment and second item, only going for counter ganks and easy kills. After that I have a hard time balancing my aggression (dive too deep, trying for a 1v4 drag steal, etc)

Any advice, comments, and explanations will be greatly appreciated.

Small edit: I am really glad that people are so forthcoming with trying to help however I was looking for something a little more in depth (not something i can read in wiki) like strategies and teamcomps

I never played jungle until i felt like doing it as poppy. I'm surprised there isn't any mention of the tension poppy creates when she ganks. some jungles stun, slow pre level 6, Poppy can more less shove her foes back into her allies when she flanks.

She's not the best ganker pre 6, but once you have a point in everything you can if you need to. Any jungle enchant works on her atm. Probably want to build BORK, TF, then tank.

Max W. Get the E wall slam as much as you can. Learning to dive comes with practice. My favorite thing is slamming people into their own turret while my ult is on. Ult amplifies damage, so item actives hit harder too (RIP DFG). That includes Gunblade and Hydra though.

You can play AP, but I prefer AD. Just remember that Q is your damage and it's converted to magic. Use it to reset your AA.

Another note, I believe shields are affected by her passive, so get Maw. That could be erroneous, but Hexdrinker is still a good buy against certain teams.
