Please Make Poppy E Range 475

Since the 6.7 nerf, her E, IMO the most critical part of her kit, has become nearly impossible to land against anyone with any skill. Her Support game has suffered dramatically as a result. I think it is pretty clear that the 425 range is just not enough. 525 was obviously too much. So in 6.9, can we restore Poppy to a good balance, and split the difference to 475? Her win rate has plummeted 6% points in the intervening time. This might bring her up to a solid 49-50%

I think the damage on her Q hasn't brought her out of Top Lane strength, though I have heard her Jungle game has taken a hit because of that. Her W is still great, and her Ult is about the same as always before. But the main thing I have seen is her E is now very awkward to position, to the extent that she doesn't feel like the threat she should be. When I first started playing her opponents would give me a wide berth. Now they sit right near me and burn me down, confident that I won't be able to find a wall. Her E should be a threat, and I don't feel it is enough of a threat at the moment. 475 would bring her into the sweet spot, or very near it, IMO. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I still want Star Guardian Poppy.

Why does she need to be played as a support anyways?

PLEASE...she is literally unplayable as a support now.

When I play her now, I've noticed people being in the projected E range, yet when I click to them several times nothing at all happens. Not sure if a bug or not.

But yea, it's way bad right now

And yet it's still utterly impossible to lane against her as a melee.
