Poppy rework

I was thinking about an interesting change to Poppy's ult that I thought was worth considering. Make her ult a true dueling tool which is what the intention was I believe.

Keep the damage increase for Poppy as it is now, but extend all the protection Poppy gets to the enemy as well. And make it so they can only attack each other. So it could read:

For 6 / 7 / 8 seconds, Poppy deals 20/30/40% increased damage to the marked target. Poppy and the target can ONLY attack AND take damage from each other. And are untargetable to all allied and enemy, champions and towers.

So that means the enemy would not take damage from anyone on your team or your towers. And no support heals or shields for Poppy or the target. It is just a 1v1. Nothing else can get in the way or interfere. It's just Poppy and the enemy.

Now I would be very open to changes on the damage increase and the duration. But I think it would be a really, well, diplomatic to extend all the protections Poppy gets to the enemy. And would make for very fun, interesting and most of all unique gameplay opportunities.

Now the biggest problem I see with this ult is communicating all that to the enemy player. But I know it would be possible through fading somethings or highlighting others or something like that.

Hmm interesting. Sounds pretty fun in theory, but I can imagine it screwing up parts of your own teams initiation. Like say you're about to jump onto the enemy ADC while simultaneously a Orianna ult is about to destroy that same target but you jump at the chance to crush him too, you ult, and then you waste your own teammates spells even though they were dead on.

Yeah. That is true there would be sometimes where it would hurt your own team but there are several other mechanics that can screw up your teammates like Anivia's wall and even signed fling can make Orianna miss her ult or blitz to miss his grab or countless other things. It would just make you use her ult more strategically.

The key part that is good in this idea is Poppy can only damage the unit she selected. other than that it would mess up team fights.
