A very reasonable buff for Poppy that everyone will agree on...

As the title says...

is currently sitting at a 49% win rate... http://na.op.gg/champion/poppy/statistics/top https://champion.gg/champion/Poppy/Top?league=

With the amount of mobility in the game, I feel like 's W could use a much lower cooldown to help combat those that have mobility... And should bring her back into the meta.

W: Steadfast Presence

Cooldown decreased from 24/22/20/18/16 to 14/12/10/8/6 seconds

New Effect Steadfast Presence's cooldown is now static and can't be reduced by CDR

By making Steadfast Presence a static cooldown will keep in a balanced state so she doesn't end up spamming her W practically every second.

Steadfast Presence's 6 second cooldown will greatly help in teamfights in the late game.

Something extra, as is known to have early game mana issues...

Base mana increased from 280 to 320

I do like the idea but 6 seconds might be a little to short, it would mean late game she can have a perma dash blocker up.

18/16/14/12/10 might be a little better.

A 49% average play rate actually isn't that bad, and look at play rate. Honestly, I think she needs something more to help her in late game, as her win rate drops to 45% if the game lasts 40 minutes from a solid 49.5% at 30-40 minutes. I do think that potentially lowering the cooldown on her W would help, but making it so low that it needs to be unaffected by CDR to be useful might be a bit too much. What about lowering the cooldown late game, rather than at all stages, perhaps 24/21/18/15/12 seconds, but make it capable of blocking 1/1/2/2/3 dashes per champion rather than just 1.

Another big thing to look at is that almost all of people playing Poppy in ranked in Plat+ are in their 1-50 games played bracket, and her win rate spikes up to 55% with 200+ games played, so it could be just that they're playing her wrong.
