Probably is because all the other juggernauts were really tanky just like poppy, and they all came from older champs. Think about it. MORD, GAREN, DARIUS, AND SKARNER. The were all tanks right? Well, so is Poppy! Oh yea, btw, Yorick and Taric are getting reworks after Poppy.
SaltyKracka2 votesShe's a tank.
SKOBODO2 votesShe has too much mobility, so she's more of a bruiser.

Juggernaut. High Defenses, Moderate Sustain damage, decent sustain (and in turn good dueling power), but slow, with little to no CC.
I'm not sure if the new poppy would cleanly fit into either of these catagories. (not until I see the stats) Her e is her only real engage potential, but has a counter to being dived, And her ult is her main source of hard CC. Perhaps she would be a Bruiser/Duelist/diver.

The other way 'round, imo. Tanks lack huge burst, but feature decent sustained damage to punish completely ignoring them.
Examples: Amumu's W, Zac's W, Sejuani's W, Sion's W and Q (although he is a bit more bursty than the previous ones), Leona's passive, Braum's passive, Cho's E (Tank Cho, that is. AP Cho is burst galore if hitting all abilities), Nautilus' W, Rammus' passive and ult.
However, what sets tanks apart from bruisers and juggernauts is their ability to force engages with strong AoE lockdown CC. Juggernauts can feature CC, too (Darius' E, Skarner's ult, Illaoi's ult), but their CC is not made to reliably initiate a fight.
xxxMadLionxxx1 votesI think she is a light fighter like trynd of yas. You can build them with no defense and all ad as they have an op defense gimmick like yas wall or jax dodge
ADepressedLeona1 votesShe's more a long the lines of a tank. She has peel to keep away assassins, and even a big aura of "fuck you" to anyone trying to dive the back line, as well as innate tankiness from her W
Also, if you notice the juggernauts don't have a gap closer. Poppy does
She also doubles as good initiation, air go charging into the enemy team with E and popping W to keep them from escaping
