which is better to play her in and do I need to drastically alter my build path in order to take her elsewhere?
i.e which jungle item and enchantment do I want to take and why, and should I take it before I start building my Trinity Force?
iPrecision2 votesJungle is probably better for Poppy due to the fact of how easily she can be kited and poked in lane.
For Jungle item, I would wanna say Trailblazer with Cinderhulk.
Personally i would want to build my triforce first, because it gives Poppy a big power boost.
Big Lincoln1 votesi always see jungle poppy building Warrior. I usually did that too, but I'm confused as to why it's recommended -- isn't her main source of damage magic? What's she need the armor pen for, or is it more about the AD and CDR?
Xx420n0sc0p3sxX1 votesThe AD and CDR. She still does good physical damage, usually about 50-50 if you build like tri, bork, hydra, maybe a maw. I wouldn't go cinderhul since you shouldn't be building Poppy tanky, she has her ult and passive for that. You really want to mainly focus on damage, with like a maw and GA for tankiness.
henrythai2 votesGo for the Cinderhulk enhancement. Poppy has terrible clear wave, so the AoE damage would help her move around the jungle a lot and more easily farm up for the Trinity Force.
