My Poppy Build (Is It Good?)

Meep Man··2 votes·827 views

Poppy item 3047 / item 3111 (depending on what the enemy damage type is and CC effectiveness) item 3512 item 3078 item 3071 item 3742 item 3156

I usually rush Zz'Rot (or shortly after boots) since usually these days Poppy is bullied during the laning phase by Ranged AD champions. Raptor Cloak provides good defenses and Zz'Rot has a lot of uses on Poppy, including some on demand terrain for her E to interact with. Trinity Force is usually the second item since Poppy benefits from everything it provides and she can make decent use of the Passives it provides. The CDR is really good as well. Black Cleaver is the second item so that I can get 40% CDR and become able to duel giga-Tanks to decent effect. Poppy is usually dealing decent physical AoE damage with her Q so the constantly active movement speed boost is great and the AoE armor shred is really amazing. Deadman's Plate helps with setting up E charges and Poppy just loves movement speed in general. It also further boosts my armor stat and gives a big boost to health that is needed going into the late game. Maw is the final item since Poppy can get a ton of MR for the shield from her W and Maw gives a ton of MR for her. She also benefits decently from the Spell Vamp provided by Lifeline and getting more AD can be really beneficial for pushing and securing objectives later on.

Tips?

Poppy has high base damage you can do more building full tank imo

3 damage items seems super unnecessary

remove zz rot. get frozen heart. remove blak cleaver. get banshees. remove maw and get sunfire cape

poppy doesn't scale well with ad. only her Q has good scaling. her ult is bad. E is bad.

this is my poops build

item 3078 item 3111 item 3102 item 3068 item 3110 item 3742 poppy can't stack cleaver fast like darius or garen not good on her.

i dont know why people buy zz rot on anyone that isn't a hard core split pusher like singed or yorick. its not stat effiicent and you need a lot of hp. your build has under 1k of extra hp from items. mine has close to 1500 extra.

I feel it's really pushed towards bruiser. Trinity Force and Cleaver in the same build seem redundant. I'd replace it with IBG or something else if you want CDR and spell blade.

ibg extremely stat inefficient atm. i'd go for frozen heart.

Ralanr1 votes

Yeah. The only thing lost is spellblade.

which triforce gives only better. ibg sheen isn't doing a lot. tri sheen proc is twice the damage

I'd avoid triforce and keep Cleaver. Triforce is too expensive IMO.

triforce and cleaver..?

MunchCrunchLunch1 votes

both have phage but its actually not a bad combo as both items are stat efficient even if we exclude passive

Yeah but IBG would be better over trinity since it is a better sheen passive for Poppy than trinity, gives better defensive stats, and Poppy doesn't use AS much. With her passive there really isn't much argument for the passive movespeed either since that will A) apply IBG and B) Apply BC movespeed.

item 3800 item 3748 these come to mind when I play poppy. I like a tiamet/ sheen for the early game, and glory maybe as a 3rd item.or 4th item depends on how the games going and the team fighting. I use it a lot on sejuani and it makes your engage feel so much more threatening when engaging :)

No. Just no. Here's the problem. You got item 3078 and item 3071 in the same build, which is never good, especially since you just gave up a item 3044 passive. Either getitem 3078 or preferably item 3071 if you need a damage item. item 3156 is a VERY situational item on Poppy, although it will become better for Poppy with the changes (CDR is an important stat on Poppy.) However, item 3065 is a better pickup, since Poppy's bases are really good and you are a TANK not a fighter. As a general rule of thumb, go item 3068 into item 3111 into item 3071 and then get tank items based on the situation (ZZ'Rot is a good situational pickup if you need objectives, but will leave you squishier in the late game).

Thanks for the feedback so far guys! I am going to see if I can try out most of these suggestions.

you don't need that many damage items

item 3078 is probably your best bet if you want to hit harder, get Iceborn if you're behind/heavy AD comp

item 3078 item 3742 item 3143 item 3111 item 3065 is my usual build path, with item 3053 item 3512 as luxury items

I play poppy with 10% cdr runes though, so if you aren't doing that you'll need to squeeze another 10% in somewhere, like with item 3158

item 3078 is strong on her but item 3025 is strong as well and cheaper

but to me i would build her like this

item 3025 item 3053 item 3065 item 3068 item 3742 with what ever item 1001 that are needed for the game

item 3071 (if laning) or item 1400 (if jungling) item 3047 or item 3111, item 3078, item 3053, item 3065, item 3143

My normal Poppy build.
