she does the most damage, 48k yet builds full tank and is unkillable? I am not one to usually complain about stuff like this but it really does not seem that healthy. I am aware my post will not get riot nerfs but I need to speak my mind on the boards before i go off on someone in game im getting really frustrated at this.
48k damage
💩!!!
its called her kit
Because Riot hasn't realized that giving a tank with hyperscaling defenses an AoE %HP 2 part nuke was a horrible, horrible idea. If anything, it should have been her E that did %HP.
That way she'd at least have to build AD and forgo some defense for her (now flat damage) Q to deal damage.
So, Poppy hasn't received any buffs in a long time, as in, I don't even remember the last time she had a positive change in the patch notes. I know she appears really strong but that is just a byproduct of lane bullies being nonexistent in the toplane. You also can't play a ranged carries toplane (Poppy counter) anymore because teams need a tank, and carry junglers can snowball and build off-tank so there is literally no reason to go tank in the jungle (Its not unviable but its un-optimal and nobody in soloq wants to play a sub-optimal role) Add to that that melee (tank) supports are currently in a bad place and tops are forced to play tanks or get flamed.
If tank junglers got buffed If Melee Supports got buffed If Lane-bullies got buffed
you wouldn't see poppy. Poppy hasn't been buffed and isn't an outlier, the game has changed around her, and nerfing her isnt going to improve overall balance
I think they should reduce her base damage but buff her damage ratios.
That being said, tanks will typically be high on damage charts because they have more time spent alive. Sunfire hitting an entire team for the full duration of a team fight is a lot of damage.
CotC is getting nerfed next patch, which should tone her down a bit.
I saw a Riot employee say something about Poppy being a little too strong on the boards a few days ago. Chin up, don't stress it too much.
wrong ? thats LOL
% dmg > everything
If Riot intends for Poppy to be a huge damage dealer and killer, they need to tone down her mitigation. She's one of the tankiest champions in the game and yet gets to kill people more reliably than assassins can. She can outduel literally every assassin, while building full tank, which would be fine if she didn't have a wealth of utility (or it took more finesse to use well).
That is what happens when you make a champion witha spammable max% hp damage skill that can hit twice. It means you don't actually need to build damage to deal damage.
Please read the patch notes (esp 7.1) before posting. She has been nerfed (and looks like she could be facing another nerf shortly). Plus Colossus is getting nerfed. Given it sounds like you don't like facing any tank that can hurt your kill rate - fear not: soon the tanks will be returned to mediocrity as a whole soon enough. ;)
