Why SHOULDNT I add poppy to my support pool?

I dont see her enough, and that leads me to believe that shes lacking somewhere. Is it the fact that he cc is so situational? Because i can find no other reason to not be playing this champ botlane, her peel is insane.

She lacks reliable CC and/or healing/shielding, to answer why she isn't in the botlane.

She's not tanky enough to be a tank in the toplane, and she doesn't scale well enough to be a bruiser in the toplane.

And she's simply outclassed in the jungle, which is where she fits best, in my opinion.

"shes not tanky enough" Lolwut? Poppy is a lane bully who excels at punishing melee champions for existing and stalling out a lane.

As for poppy support, its mediocre but if youre good at roaming shes VERY good at dueling the enemy jungler in their own jungle and setting up kills mid.

I agree about the top lane. She got nerfed a bit so she's not as tanky, but just building armor/hp you can 1v1 a lot of top laners. Her Q is % hp, which is always going to bully. Just sit and cs (nobody can really challenge you) and grab your armor, then go ham in teamfights. Extreme gank avoidance at lvl 6 too. Unless they can 100-0 you you're almost guaranteed an escape.

Apparently, Riot doesn't want Poppy to be a tank so her W scaling is pretty bad now R.I.P. Remember 400 armor with like 2 items?

I mean... Her W blocking movement and scaling her MR/Armor alone is enough to keep her a tank. Poppies high % HP damage - which is like 24% iirc - makes her viable against MANY match ups, except most marksmen.

I really have no idea. She seems pretty solid, good armor/mr scaling and really good into something like Lucian/Alistar because of her W. Good damage without building damage as well. It could work pretty well.
