Raise Poppy's Movement Speed!

Rand0mH3r0X·Aug 17, 2015·1 votes·511 views

Poppy does so horribly against Kalista it's not even funny. Can she get like a +5 movement speed to compensate? So many characters have instant dodges and this leaves Poppy with less time to close and the enemy with more time to dodge. Dodging is too easy, and everybody has learned it.

Buff Poppy? DON'T SPEAK THOSE WORDS!

There is a damn good reason she is getting a 100% sion level relaunch. Her kit is so broken that its impossible to buff in any way without making the game be warped super hard around Poppy. Which is NOT how the game should be.

She's good against any champions from Season 2 Top lane. After that, she kind of falls really hard. It's not hard to ruin her. If you do think she's hard to go against, just pick Kalista next time...

Thats not what I was saying... I meant her kit is flawed by design. And impossible to buff in any way.

Riot doesn't want people using her.

I can handle Poppy. Since my top lane pick most of the time is Darius, who completely ruins her.

I'm not saying shes hard to deal with. I'm saying her kit is flat out broken. Riot even said if she sees even a single game of competetive play, 982749274294378 more nerfs will come.

Well, they say if she sees consistent pro play. She's seen a game or two recently. Still, Riot's declared current Poppy a defunct champion for the past however many years, never to be buffed in any way under any circumstances.

She has a rework planned, but with the change in opinion, usually stuff like that gets delayed. The question, "Who cares?" and "Who's Asking?" are important. I don't like the shift away from her current state as an assassin into a tank. A mere movement speed buff until the inevitable happens won't flip the game.
