Can someone explain why Poppy is considered OP to me?

Really don't understand how she is OP.

She seems relatively healthy.

I think some of her tankiness is tooo high. She is absurdly tanky. Especially early, her Q is low cooldown and does base damage AND % max hp which is a lot. She does quite a lot of damage for the tankiness that is innate on her kit.

She duels very well early, and is pretty hard to kill. That and a lot of the mobility tools that most kits have these days it seems. Her W is just icing on the cake.

She's not hard to kill. People just don't know how to play against her and go too ham/aggressive for no reason half the time. Also you can't argue that she's too tanky and does too much damage when champs like Darius, Sion, Nasus, Olaf, Illaoi, Trundle and Renekton exists. They completely destroy her at some point if not pre 6.

she smashes renekton, olaf, illoai and darius when they try to bully her, thats a little broken dude, and she just starves nasus and trundle for farm

Stupid comparison, all of those champs lack either her mobility,cc, or both.

Poppy has pretty high damage for not getting a lot of damage items outside of item 3078 . Getting a Sunfire Cape and another tank item can make her hard to kill, especially with her W passive giving her bonus armour and mr based off her current armour and mr, which doubles at low health. Best way I can put it? A lot of tank and decent damage for fairly little.

You don't build Trinity unless you are REALLY far ahead in gold. And I would not build that over Black Cleaver unless i'm just trying out a different build. Team fights need to be taken into consideration too. And if you are playing against some really bad, new or hesitant players, Olaf, Renekton and Darius wrecks her.

Darius: Draw-in and Slow. Nasus: Long duration slow. No hard cap on Q means he 1v1's her easily if farmed. Renekton: Gap closer and stun. Olaf: Slow and Ult. (Slightly faster than poppy's W with a longer duration. Used to tower dive her also since CC doesn't work) Sion: Slow, Stun, Ult for either initiating or escape. Trundle: Slow and Speed buff+attack speed and sustain (this beats her 1v1 capability).

Play more methodically or tactfully. Different players play her in different ways. Find their pattern, poke her in between her last hitting, stay away from walls. I've had no problems beating her in lane phases with Illaoi, Galio and Gnar. It just depends on how you approach it with what champion you take. Also Teeto. But I don't play him as much.

The point i'm trying to make is that she's not as strong as most make her out to be. And i'm definately not saying she doesn't have issues. But then again, what champion doesn't these days?
