Poppy's spot in League of Legends; Help save Poppy

Squirre1·11/5/2015, 4:54:15 PM·3 votes·1,828 views

Poppy is a champion that, since her inception, has won the hearts of a handful of League of Legends players. For me, playing Poppy on league has become no less than a quotidian affair, something I have to do or else my day is absolutely ruined. Why am I making this post? Because it appears to me that Poppy is a champion that is not only a "joke champion" to most, but one riot games thinks they have the ability to rework, or even "make better." This is absolutely a violation of the summoner's code; in article two there is the phrase "player feedback is an important force in the decision making process of Riot Games," but do they really mean it? I've not heard a single dissenter in the Poppy army ask for a change; Riot has made some good decisions in the past, sure, but their best decision since their breaking into the gaming industry was the creation of Poppy. Poppy means the world not only to me, but all of the thousands of Poppy mains around the world. So please Riot, don't slander Poppy's name with some arbitary rework. Thank you for your time, and please help me in this cause to keep Poppy, Poppy.

The reason I posted this in the "Help and Support" section is twofold; firstly, poppy needs saving to maintain her integrity, and secondly, Riot games needs help, like therapy or something. Don't change poppy.

As another aside, this post was deleted off the Help and Support section so ignore the mention to it made earlier.

Poppy's kit is the FARTHEST thing from toxic

Nope.

Poppy's kit is broken.

Her Ult was meant to allow her to duel an enemy champion without the enemy team interfering.

Instead she uses it on the least threatening target and then murders everyone else.

I don't mind the rest of her kit, honestly. It's interesting. But her Ult is one of the most awful, least interactive things in the game. The only way it would be decent is if we had some sort of item active that could Purge buffs from enemy champions.

I totally agree with this viewpoint. In fact, poppy needs a buff. Riot should make her invisible, her q should be an execute, her w replaced with Jax's ult, her e's range increased to 2000, and her ultimate given a self revive after the shield. Riot should also rework the already hard-to-play Brand. All of Brand's abilities should be his ultimate. This will not only make the gameplay aspect more fun, but easier for new summoners. I also hold dear to the desire of riot making a bunny Taric skin. If anyone agrees please like.

P.S: Screw you Hrum.

Poppy deserves to die.

Her passive and her ulti are the most toxic skills in LoL BY FAR.

The only rework that Riot has ever reverted (that I heard of) was for Lee Sin (aka their star child).

Riot's reworking Poppy because they consider her kit toxic.

Her ult is a problem

dude, sry but poppy was my second champ and still my guilty pleasure champ. and she needs changes, if they just flat buff her to make her QWE viable the inherint power of her R will fling her into perma pick and ban. and to change her ult is to change her identity to begin with. also her passive is the hardest to gauge damage augmentation ive ever seen and the damn thing has been buggy forever. not to mention her W is just kinda boring. they already confirmed her e will not change and while the math might change i cant see her q not being a "My next hit is gonna break you" spell. the did a good job with sion making him interesting "powerful" and most importantly balance-able. with poppys ult as it is she cant be balanced, either her early game damage/mana has to be shit or she spirals out of control, if you have ever seen a full ap poppy 1shot (no metaphore litterally 1 q) a person only to charge another and get her whole ult to walk around to the rest of the team you would agree. while i wouldnt call her kit toxic so much as limited and unbalance-able. not to mention the thematic of her ult is completely lost. its meant to be a duel between you and that one, but no one ever does that, they just use it for a double duration kayle ult (admittedly it requires better planing,positioning,forthought then kayle ult, but its still better.).

and after reading ur replys on the comments im getting the feeling you just dont want her to change, if you truly beleive that a champ who can only do one full combo with her lvl 3 mana pool and yet cant be buffed without being broken or changed doesnt need some kind of rework then your kinda thick.
