Quick question about poppy...

why did you have to take away her attack reset on her passive? 1 attack reset every 12 seconds is HARDLY that bad. How about we deal with attak reset abusing champs liek riven, vayne, etc before we touch champions who havnt been relevent since release, who jsut got reworked and got good?

also can we just take into consideration that poppy cant have an auto attack reset every ~15 seconds but nidalee can have 4 fucking auto attack resets in her kit?

To be fair, different champions have different kits.

that doesnt change the concept of attack reset, attack reset is attacking before the animation has compelted, so why are ANY champions allowd to do it? If you are going to take away ONE, take them ALL away. Dont let some champions like riven be toxic and OP while taking awya those same thigns that make them toxic and OP from other champions who were only starting to get attention. Its a simple matter of balancing the game in a way where all champions are ACTUALLY equal, and not a handful getting special privledges for no reason. This extends to things liek ward jumping, attack resets, etc. either allow all champions who have the kit to do it, or none of them, no middle ground claiming "balance"

Because riven has a 46% win rate and poppy does more dmg than her building mostly tank.

and they reduced her damage... and her range... so why remove her auto reset? why allow one champ to have it and naother not? either remove them ALL or dont touch ANY of them.

Why remove one champs core items and not remove others? brutilizer? old last whisper? Lets just remove all the core tank items and split them into 2 while making them worse....

"Reworked to be a disruptive tank that lives in the middle of a battle, Poppy excels at peeling threats and blocking divers and assassins from getting to her precious, precious carries. Poppy currently boasts some of the highest damage, crowd control and overall reliability for a tank in the League, leaving teams hard-pressed to pass her up no matter what the composition demands. When looking at which of these areas to pull power from, we landed on range as the biggest offender contributing to Poppy’s over-the-top strength.

When you combine high base damage and no shortage of tools to lock down a single target, you end up with a tenacious threat that simply ignores what the other team wants to do and dives the highest profile targets over and over. We love Poppy being a sturdy threat to anything within reach, but limiting her access to the back lines of a fight keeps her in the middle of the chaos where she’s meant to thrive - or at the very least, undergo significantly more risk to pull off the same CC chains she’s used to."

I looked at the patch notes to find an answer to why they removed the AA reset. I'm not getting an explanation as to why. I get she had a large range (since her E and her passive range was nerfed) but that doesn't explain why you removed the AA reset, which made her clears painful to watch and worse to play as.

I would love to get Riot's reasoning for this. Because they pretty much removed a core gameplay ability from her and I'd like to know if that was even needed after you shortened her range on both the E and the passive.

The E range nerf and Q damage nerf bother me, but the AA reset seems a bit much especially for farming. IDK hopefully they change it but in my experience she's still in a decent spot. Sunfire helps for farming too.

They'll probably nerf sunfire soon though.

Well they did just buff sunfire recently, but it is pretty strong right now, but not overbearing. They will probably wait a few patches before touching it
