Poppy Changes

I like that Riot finally gave Poppy a much-needed buff, but yikes...

No base mana increase, not even a mana regen increase. That's really holding her back.

I still have to go back for mana all the time; it feels so bad.

Also, but this is a champ-specific challenge, her passive auto cast time is WAAAY higher than her basic attack. This isn't really even a problem, but it gets really annoying for the small bonus you get from it especially when trying to CS.

One more thing: In my opinion, I think that her buckler should instantly go to her not only when she last-hits with it, but also when it's been cast but the target dies before it hits. It's so weird to throw it, have it hit nothing, and then fly off to some random place in the lane.

Thoughts? Again, I'm really appreciative to Riot for finally doing something to help Poppy.

I agree on her passive attack being slower than her normal auto is annoying, but I really don't think her buckler returning to her all the time is a needed change, mobile dash-based champions tend to suck against her anyway. Also, if you're running out of mana, stop using abilities so much (she's not a mage, she's a tank).

Personally, I go with item 2033 as a starting item anyway which gives you mana. You don't have to, that's just me.

If you're forced to use more mana than you'd like (maybe they're pressuring your abilities), get item 3024 or item 3057.
