Poppy ever to tanky?

So this is only on experiences I have with poppy's. Given it is always the opposing team that has this poppy, but when its on my team they never seem like this. Poppy builds straight tank. item 3143 item 3068 item 3025 item 3065 item 3111 this is last game. game went 34 minutes and she was fed because of our top (long story short, I couldn't support well enough.) Given shes not full build and isn't doin much damage but when it comes to her as a front line, its a joke. Draven Akali LeeSin all just tickle her health and they are doing well on items. If its 1v4 it will take around 10 seconds just for us to kill her. in a team fight she is just in your face and you really cant do anything but accept the cc and slows she does to you.

She is rather tanky at early levels too, with in lane she just is a monster who can not be tackled. If she even plays passive she can be a problem. I don't see any champion take as reduced damage as she does, not Leona not even TahmKench who are huge supports. tahm stacks health and leo just has her w passive that gives armor; even with her armor its no where near poppy.

Is she to tanky? Yes, I get she does no damage but neither do you to her. Her damage does come from her q though but not being able to stop it is rather a annoying. Any updates coming to poppy or other tanks? tahm has been left out and pushed out it seems even leo too. I get there is also ways to counter her, but late game the tank game is so hard with her that it doesn't even seem like a item 3036 does anything to effect her.

it's the same story with Maokai Nautilus or whatever other real frontline tank.

If I'm not mistake, the next big update is going to be for tanks.

if you menage to play TahmKench top and get around the same amount of gold as the poppy did, then build straight tank, you will end up with around the same tankyness

If you fight a fed tank while your team is behind, it will often feel that way. After all, tanks are strong until your ADC gets to build a item 3036 with some good amount of crits. Other similar tanks such as Nautilus or Maokai will feel quite the same. If you manage to go to the late game, though, once everyone is level 18 and your ADC is in their power spike, she will stop being a problem.

I don't think in the same manor though; poppy at half health has that passive that doubles her passive armor. meaning shes damn near impossible to kill, unless instagibbed

A fed tank is unkillable in team fight? Stop the presses

there are 3 rules in lol: 1-Don't chase singed! 2-Don't focus the tank! 3-If you fail, blame jungler/support!

this wasn't focusing the tank. they were all gone and we tried killing her, or attempting to. it was more of singling out.
