PSA: Poppy still works as an Assassin

For all those prior Poppy players (all two other of you) who miss playing Poppy as an assassin, I have good news. Poppy can still be played as an assassin. And in my personal opinion works better as an assassin than a juggernaut or tank.

The secret to this is Poppy's new passive and its interactions with Rapid Firecannon . With RF Poppy's passive range is increased significantly giving great safe poke that can deal significant damage. If you then build IE after RF you can start one shotting any squishy you stun with a Q, Poppy Passive RF-enchanced Crit AA, Thunderlord's Decree, and ignite/smite. And if it takes longer, well her W can block most non-flash escapes to buy you more hammer time with your target.

It's actually not that hard to even set-up thanks to her ult. Her ult can either be used for extra damage (but do remember the target is invulnerable while knocked up for her ult) or to remove any protection from your target, leaving a delicious squishy for you to feast on. This allows her to be both opportunistic and safe.

This can be done from either lane or the jungle. So rejoice, have fun, and try it for yourself.
