Poppy Rework, May we have an update?

TyberAce·Aug 20, 2014·9 votes·17,162 views

I was wondering if we could have an update on the Poppy rework and VU? Its been 6 months since we heard anything on her and Riot has said she is one of the next champs in line for a rework. Last post I could find was here by IronStylus: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/dZojG3Kb-ironstylus-what-can-we-expect-from-the-inevitable-poppy-vu

Poppy (in my humble opinion) has the best lore in the game(I love the old lore department and I want to love the new one!). I just wanted update on Poppy, the bravest, most determined, most kickass yordle in the history of Bandle City!

I would(of course) like to get a red's reply. I just want to make sure she getting the treatment she deserves!

Poppy VU + Rework and Tristana VU, they need to follow the standar female Yordle (Lulu) Riot said already, Lulu for fems and Ziggs for males. So expect both Poppy and Trist with cat ears.

I already figured that from Ironstylus' comment in the thread I posted.

I would like to know if her VU is upcoming or am I gonna have to wait another year. : /

I love this. Her voice does not match her look.

Pigtales?

Fat Cheeks?

I imagined her to sound younger than Teemo. Weird.

She's supposed to sound tough and authoritative. Her role as an envoy of Demacia as well as her past (father killed in front of her) have hardened her. With that in mind i fell the voice fits. giving her a squeaky voice like Lulu would undermine all of that and take away from the character.

I get what your saying about the pigtails, but having played Poppy for so long its hard for me to imagine her any other way. do you have a suggestion for an alternative hairstyle?

The hammer seems too "techy" to me. I know Bandle City and Piltover (and yordles in general, I guess) love their science, but it feels out-of-place on Poppy. While being a blacksmith/blacksmith's daughter would give her epic weapons and armor, it's not her tools that make her a legend; it's her steadfastness, her determination, her inhuman (inyordle?) strength. In the case of her hammer, I feel that a rocket tacked on would undermine that. She doesn't use technological gimmicks or contrived magical artifacts in her hammer to crush people with it. She's the only yordle that doesn't rely on technology, magic, or those infernal shrooms; she's the only yordle that relies on raw strength and hardiness.

tl dr; I feel that pushing her into the steampunk theme takes away some of her identity (a blacksmith/diplomat that needs only strength and will to be badass), but doesn't add anything to make up for it. Other than that, I like this.

I agree wholeheartedly. I love steam punk as much as the next guy, but the rocket hammer thing seems waaay too out of place and, I feel, doesn't really fit in to the lore of League of Legends. If she has a rocket hammer, what makes her stand out from Heimerdinger or Ziggs, or Jinx? Jinx has rockets... Dinger has rockets... Ziggs IS a rocket... It just feels like an overload of an idea that doesn't fit in well. She may be from Bandle City but she's pure Demacian per the great lore on her already. Why include Yordle tech when she's already in Demacian colors? Doesn't make sense. Also, giving her a more slimmed down model is definitely a great idea. Loved what you did with Trist. However, the current pic ---^ doesn't accurately reflect her as what she is... a front line fighter trading blows alongside Garen, The Might of Demacia and Jarvan IV. If you put her in the battle line between those two... I just see "WTF?!" Please keep true to her character, please.

seems like int the 6 months between that post they have been focusing more on polishing champs looks than fixing champs. not that its bad but they know people complain about champs like sion and poppy. but instead we get sona reworks and visual upates not many of us have asked for. it would be better to bring the champs that need attention most to this season's and next season''s level instead of leaving them pretty much the same as they were back in season 1.

All I can tell you is Sion is next for a full "relaunch". Seems like hes almost done by the hints they have dropped, and they have been talking about Sion for over a year so hopefully Poppy will be out this winter.

Remake poppy? A bit sudden with the fact that there haven't been changed since season 1 or 2.

I hope they make it so that with the rework her charge will interact with other enemy champions instead of just walls and adjust her other parts to compensate. She loses a lot of damage/cc if the enemy is out in the open. Would be cool if she gave a .5 second stun to enemies she pushes her target through and gave a stacking stun on the target depending how many enemies she passes through or max if she hits a wall.
