Riot, please don't keep the Poppy E range nerf

A couple days ago these changes were made to Poppy on the PBE.

Poppy

Iron Ambassador (Passive) bonus range lowered to 300 from 400
Hammer Shock (Q) damage reduced to 35/55/75/95/115 from 40/65/90/115/140
Heroic Charge (E) range reduced to 425 from 525

I didn't make a thread about it when it first showed up because I thought it might get reverted, but now that its been a few days and it's still there, I feel the need to speak about my concerns. While I understand that Poppy is pretty strong right now, can you please not go through with the E range nerf? The other two changes will certainly be felt but E change is the one that I think is just going in the wrong direction for her.

See, I'm a support player and I really enjoy taking Poppy as a bot lane support and nerfing her E range would not only hurt that but the ability is already finicky enough without changing the range on top of that. If you're that worried about her then why not take away some damage from her E instead so she can still use it to initiate a fight as a tank but will have less burst if a teammate isn't following up on it?

The stun range is too fucking far right now. It needs to go down. Being stunned from 825 range by a melee champion is ridiculous.

525*

That's the cast range. The carry range is 300. That means her stun has an effective 825 range.

Ahh. My mistake.
