After playing as, and against new Poppy
I really feel like riot did an incredible job on the Poppy rework. The VU is good, the model is nice, the animations are unique and the kit feels very cohesive, and also synergizes with her intended build path. Great work!
A few key points that should be addressed early tho:
-
Her Ult NEEDS lower damage when you spam it for the instant knockup and it also needs scaling damage with more ranks.
This to me is kind of a no brainer, and I'm surprised this version of the ult made it through pbe tbh. As it is right now, you can instantly proc it with no animation for the full damage plus a HEFTY knockup. This comes straight out of a knockback/stun so there is very little reaction time; basically flash or nothing. I should also be seeing bigger numbers when I rank it up, I mean cmon, thats basic league. It needs much lower damage on instant proc, and better damage with higher ranks. -
The buckler shield scales a little too much. Especially with items like
her durability goes up very fast. Overall thought Riot really nailed this passive, and it barely needs touching, have it scale up with levels.
That's all I felt was off about new Poppy, and I'm a really big fan of her current state.
