Was told to relocate this.

Was asked to relocate this and to minimize my salty attitude and cussing. So I will.

Recently had a game fighting a Poppy, playing a champion I want to main. To clarify entirely, when I play Kindred, I'm not expecting an easy game. I'm expecting to be able to work around everything though, and to look back at a match and see what I could have done differently. I had a lot of trouble this match. It started as a solo blind que, I really don't like them but you know, it's the fastest way to a game without 20 dodges. This game nobody wanted to be jungle which I had no problem practicing my jungle anyway since I REALLY love these champions.

The game starts and I find a strange line up :Lux Malzahar Poppy Nami Lucian. all with no smite. A little odd but I figured I could just farm my stacks for free, which I did. Until finally I went to assist top who pinged me 4 times. He had been stuck with Poppy & Malzahar, and had died 3 times. I went up there and got combo'd by poppy- R-w-e-q and died. instantly. I'll be honest and say an in lane gank wasn't the brightest being the bushes didn't stop me from hitting walls. Even though, i died before I even got out of that 1.5 second stun. I looked at the actual stats, her items, and so on. My 55ad was no match for her 104, with nothing butitem 2033 item 1054 item 3211. An marksman with less ad, gap closer, and crowd control than a top lane tank? It only got worse. Even though our apparent top laner got his kill on mal. Poppy didn't even get a double kill. They started prowling jungle. Lux midlane fed in lane then got fed by poppy. I started to get q ulted by lux from bushes going INTO jungle. my team mates didn't ward very well. Poppy was unkillable due to her high damage and intense tank. It was end game by the time they build 270 armor 200 mr and item 3057. They weren't even jungle. I couldn't even get my own buffs anymore. I started warding my jungle but I can't ward every spot. It was like, the one spot I missed, they were there in a bush. I'm pretty sure I missed out on buying item 3364 though. must have forgoten. I just can't figure out any clear counter play. I don't even have weak ad runes. I just prefer my AS runes. 5 AD red and the rest and quints AS. 16% attack speed boost. I don't know what to do against these champions. I can't have fun with this. lux deals such a high amount of damage it 1 shots squishies. But kindred can't even have in fight natural sustain. Poppy can have THAT much tank and higher AD, yet my kindred only had half the AD and is Unusable without those marks. when rengar doesn't get any stacks he is still a viable challenging champion. With those stacks he's a monster. Kindred is only viable with those stacks. Without them, she's just a pretty model.

I can't help but feel there is some kind of favoritism going on.

And for those of you who had the patience of sitting down and reading though this. Here is your reward: 'titty sprinkles'

                                                                                   ~omen46

Sounds like Poppy just got really fed. Plus Kindred's early game took a big hit a while back.

As for counterplay, avoiding walls, kiting without using dashes (I think it's called Orb Walking) and LW items are going to help you kill Poppy. Granted with Kindred's kiting being centered around her Q, it's a bit more difficult.

That and Kindred's early game sucking.
