I know poppy usually goes top but Is poppy support supposed to be troll...? I came back to play league after some months and my teams think I'm a troll for playing poppy support. I legit thought she was a support pick and it's been working fine so far.

Astôlfo4 votesShe is a legit support, just uncommon and outclassed by some other top-tier supports. But she's fine.
Zach Sandwhich2 votesNot troll at all. Keep playing that poppy support.
CrimsonReaps1 votesCan support, but its sub-optimal, there are better pick normally but its a fun pick ;)
Chamuel851 votesWhen she was OP, she was a support pick as another way to have a different top laner but still have poppy. Since her nerfs, I think she makes a less than optimal support. She can do it though. She's... similar to Leona in a way. She's good against ADCs with a dash like Tristana or Lucian since her W will knock them up if they try. Charge/stun into wall combined with W makes a very painful situation for the adc.
MunchCrunchLunch1 votesshe is not a bad support. use her as a counterpick. i woudn't play her against high damage poke supports like brand or zyra. pick her against thresh. W denies lantern.
romotov1 votesI main support and my go to supports tend to be Poppy and Lulu. There's nothing wrong with Poppy support in my opinion. It's just a bit difficult against some support champs that are poke heavy, like Zyra. She's great against most squishies like Sona and Soraka and very good against Leona, Thresh and Nautilus. Keep playing Poppy support, it's very fun.
HexaDecimel1 votesI generally only use her as a counter pick to dash heavy team comps. If you are going up against a Nautilus, Lee Sin, Leblanc, Lucian, Leona Combo then she is perfect ;) Basically she has potential to be effective against any team comp that has champions with a lot of dashes.
DarkRitual1 votesAlso good against the Ivern/Rengar Combo.
Malix Farwin1 votesShe is fine especially if you need a tank support but you know this community, if it is not OP then it sucks. Has a slow, has a stun, has poke, and a good disengage but you know not OP.
DarkRitual1 votesShe's a fine support, and was even a meta pick support for a little while.
Anu3isII1 votesFrom what I've seen, her E is a powerful engage, especially against immobile squishy champions (Ashe, Jhin, Sona and some more).
Even if her W isn't that useful in most of those match-ups, she can still use it against most of the junglers (Lee, Gragas, Nidalee).
Also, I think she tends to be snowbally... Her Q and her E have so much power in general, that she can literally be oppressive in the early game. If she manages to do that, her opponents will most probably miss Gold/Exp and will get their level 6 power spike delayed. While her Ultimate may not have an amazing impact when engaging, she can make it happen before the opponents get theirs.
If your ADC picks an all-in hyper-aggressive champion, then it is a win-win situation.
Overall, I find her success based a lot on what match-up she has, so a bit more of a niche. But she is indeed viable and efficient.
