Poppy's new ult looks like it is going to be the most satisfying ability in the game.

You can feel the power of it just by watching the video. It is going to be super fun. I do worry that it is going to be hard to balance though because you can practically take someone out of a team fight from the start if you hit them to initiate.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term

You could hit them while your Mid turrets are still up (if they're in your base) to have them take turret damage. I'm fairly certain it'll work off of AP, so I'd say you could have something like item 3151 and hit them to deal additional damage...hopefully enough for the turrets to pick off. Not sure though.

problem is, that depends on how long you channel....

If you double tap, wasted ult. if the enemy team ALLOWS you to full channel, then yeah, the tank might go flying...but I just can't see this ult being useful in most games. might be fun to be able to grab a tower with it...but in teamfights, just stop her channel. Ult can only be good if they allow it so you can punt them in ANY direction.

It takes barely a second to charge it up. It's not that hard to get one second where they aren't stunning you, particularly since you can still move while channeling it, and the dash on it means you don't even have to be particularly close to your target before hitting them. It's really not going to be that hard to pull off.

Either the most satisyfing or the ultimate bummer when you try to lasthit an enemy with it and they live on with a small amount of health left, while being flung to safety.

Then don't do that. It's most useful at the start of a fight to split the enemy up, then fight the ones that didn't get knocked back.

Imagine your team getting off a deathbush ambush by peeling the enemy adc into the bush. you delete their squishy to start the fight and you get them in a massive pincer to mop them up or send them scrambling.

Poppy's ult is garbage. I want her old ult back.

If I can knock someone across entire screens, it's not garbage. That's strong as hell. Her old ult's design was fucked 6 ways from Sunday. Literally disallowing 4 people from doing shit to stop her. Doesn't work in this game. It had to go eventually.

...Except compared to the old one, of course.
