Why doesn't anyone play poppy anymore?

Her base splash art is ugly as sin. Her head looks like a purple football.

Weak ass early game.

That said,

if you take a camp, and go into lane with all the potions,

you could hold out for quite a while.

who?

Lack of opportunity to try her possibly. Severe weakness in lane.

She's strong as fuck in the jungle though, IMO.

Not once she gets rolling, "IF".

She is like Singed in that everyone counters her in lane. Not that she can't kill people, but anyone with any form of range will give her a hard time. Hitting a mid game powerspike is kind of pointless if you fed.

Cause her early game sucks. Nope, not playing anymore.

because shes ugly as fuck and needs a face transplant IMMEDIATELY

Her early game laning puts you so far behind that it's hard to catch up since the game is over before she gets there.

I am puzzled that people don't take her jungle often though. It covers up that weakness since she can farm up relatively safely.

Personally, I don't wanna get used to playing her a certain way when her update is coming up in November. It's gonna be a totally different playstyle.

Her playstyle is typically boring compared to the current Lol champion generation.

Q- a %HP bonus damage for no reason at all. W- A Grave's passive(switching the MR with AD). Hit W for a full Grave's passive. E- a simple melee version of Vayne's E. R- be immune to every shit.

Her early game sucks and she's a hybrid damage champion. Ever since MF got her AD ratio returned to her R, she's been picked a lot more since it reduced her reliance on the magic damage of her W. Many champions suffer that very same fate though like WW and Yorick. The only champs that really do well that do hybrid damage are Morde and Jax but that's because Jax uses the magic damage early to win the early game while his AS passive, ultra short CD targetted dash, stun that also stops AA's, and a BotRK+Trinity to carry him late game. Poppy doesn't have those tools. Her E is a long CD and doesn't deliver damage-wise, her Q does a lot, but any kind of MR and it's practically nulled plus with the boost in MR to Visage and Veil, two common items bought nowadays, Poppy just can't put her hybrid damage to use.

There's also the issue of Hybrid being strong early to mid while mid to late it falls off and Poppy's early to mid game is probably the worst in the entire game. It's worse than Jungle Morgana's early with Morgana starting with Black Shield. lol.

Often the game will snowball out of control before Poppy hits any powerspike in which case Poppy has no options but to lose.

Even if she gets rolling, she is dreadfully boring to play, she feels 'floaty' and somewhat disconnected and her visuals are an absolute eyesore.

Worst early game (Riot said that if anyone finds a way to make her early game work they'll nerf it), mana thirsty, most champs have hard CC now so it's easy to counterpick her so that her ult can be countered.

I dunno poppy support with Vayne is a op duo
