the year of poppy

so with Sion out of the way. Poppy is the next one on the list of complete overhaul level of rework. Poppy

so i just want to ask the players (this abides to rioters too since you are gamers)

what are you looking forward to with her rework and what are you scared of them changing

**as a poppy main i gotta say i don't want to see her lose her raw power. as a yordle that looks strong and so serious it would be a shame to see her lose alot of her strength. i mean sure her damage is pretty high but if she did less i feel she would not feel good for the long time players of her. mostly i just don't want another Sion situation. where she looks crazy intimidating but does crazy little damage.

i hope riot decides to keep her a speedy fighter who can also play as a great tank if needed. i also hope that the changes to the ult don't hit mega hard and make it such a shell of it's former self that it's funny.

i can't decide if making her full ad would be good or not because so far she has alot of ways to build her and it makes her very fun variety wise. (all 3 sheen items are her's to command maybe her dad made them lol) ** i love you riot and i can't wait to see what you do with poppy but at the same time im scared of what your gonna do. this is my favorite champion and to know so much about her is gonna change makes me shake with painful anticipation.

Edit: please riot for the love of all things Poro don't make her a mainly jungler please keep her multi lane talented

they are gonna mess her up man...so let us mourn now...although i would like to see a cd that is reduced as damage is taken on her Q. it might make her laning phase more bearable and could turn it into a last hitting mechanic.

It's kinda fucked up that as soon as she becomes meta, for the first time in 4 years, they rework her lol.

her being popular again isn't the only reason for this. After sion in place for champs that needed massive overhauls was poppy fundamentally she is broken to play as. to play her is easy but to get good takes so long and almost most new champions can decimate her if she doesn't get a great start or you know her perfectly you will mess up and die and this deters newer players from trying her. so they had to rework her to make her playable for those who want to try her.

not to mention all her animations are very buggy and can get you killed alot.

I love jungle Poppy exactly as she is (her passive makes her one of the better junglers). She has great Ap burst, but enough AD to the clear the jungle at decent speed with trailblazer. Her mana costs are insane but can be handled with Mreg/18 runes.

She can be easily kited, but at least she isn't a freekill when doing though (her ultimate be blessed).

Tbh. I don't want her to be changed at all. Well, ok - maybe one thing: ** HER VOICEOVER IS HORRIBLE.**

Maybe make her visually appealing, i mean not like a really hot yordle or what ever-just visually appealing. But i think Riot will not be translating her into a very well state, i mean Sion is still in the corner crying because Nasus told him to go Ahri himself.

I love Poppy. I play her top/jungle/support. To me she is fun to play. But what I love about her is her freedom. I enjoy her ult, so that I can walk around a battle field during a team fight. The moment it is gone, or it is on cool down she is useless. She has a speed up, but 1 slow/stun/any form of cc that hits her makes me cry. Her "gap closer" is 1 of only 2 dmg spells/abilities she has. So you can't just E a tank to get close to a carry, if you do that you have no dmg left.

After see the last few reworks (Sion, Cass, Sona, ect..) I just have no faith in Riot to even know what to do. Or what players enjoy about that champion. Visually I love the Sion rework. But due to Riot's insistence that every NEW champion have 2 forms of gap closer/movements and at least 1 form of hard CC every old champion is becoming more and more useless. If she doesn't have her passive she can not live long enough in team fights to do dmg.

Since i pretty much only play poppy. I'm looking forward to her crappy W being updated over everything, I'm hoping it becomes a move that sets her up better for a wall slam. I'm crossing my fingers the E dash is pretty much overhauled to becoming a skillshot, and they either make it easier to land wall stuns or make them horrificly punish foes due to their difficulty to pull off.

Overall I hope they keep her niche identity because we don't need to make another garen to play with garen.~

I'm hoping to come on to find that she's become the Akali -esque champ that goes top minus the shrowd and sickle tossing.

(Btw. ever tried item 3020 item 3074 item 3025 (Mreg @18 runes) on Poppy? That splittpush-power, duelling-power and sustain!)

while i agree that poppy could use a rework i would be much happier to see them approach akali and katarina before they bothered fixing her. i think the world can survive without poppy a little longer under the pretense that those two are getting fixed :)

also, urgot and yorick could really use some changes as well. in the same vein as poppy. they have extremely powerful kits that had to be nerfed into the ground to prevent ridiculous 1v5 situations following an easily snowballed lane.
