Riot, please, the new Poppy E+Q interaction...
Please just undo it. It's totally ruining how Poppy plays, and is actually a sizable nerf to her.
-
When clearing jungle camps, I'd normally charge the big mob and throw out my Q across the whole camp as soon as it hits the wall, doing damage to the entire camp. Now, I have to hold off on using my Q for a second, and then throw it. Not only does this feel awkward as hell, it actually slows down my clears.

When laning or ganking, I'd slam someone into a wall and throw Q in the direction they would run away, so that I hit both ticks. As it is now, my Q will just fire off dead center, and half the damage is wasted.

Like you showed in the spotlight video, you can E to a target other than what you're hitting, and then throw a Q at a nearby target -- well, that doesn't work anymore, since you have to wait after your E to throw the Q, you end up hitting the wrong target, or nothing at all.
But, Poppy just feels overall awkward to play now, since you can't even trust your own abilities to do what you want them to do. She still functions, sure, but she lost a lot of potential, and a lot of playability.
Why was that change even necessary? The only time I could even see someone missing their Q is if they have quick-cast on, have no eyes, and play with their feet. It's a very easy skillshot to land, but getting both ticks off requires a bit of finesse.
I don't know why I even bother. Not like you guys ever listen to what people say anyway. But, please, just revert a change that wasn't even necessary in the first place. You're taking the newest champion and gutting a large part of her kit, and for what?
IS THAT A SHORT JOKE?
