I see it on the main page but where is poppy at in there? That champion looks somewhat similar and seems to have the same skins but where is poppy at? She simply isn't there. It's a champion based around cosplay.

The passive: I have a shield so I'm going to play as captain america! Just gonna throw it and catch it. No poppy to be found here. Seriously what even is this? Why is it even there? Who thought that what poppy really needed was to be a really dedicated cosplayer? It seems to just be shoe horned in there because no one could think of something that would have any kind of synergy.

Q: Now they are thor. More costumes to play. Why is fake poppy jumping? Is swinging a hammer at the ground to much work for this impostor? Just more pretending here. Why not add in some lightning bolt effects?

W: So fake poppy is a wizard also? No, I know what fake poppy is but I will get to that later. The fake poppy cosplayer special pudding cup technique. It's too thick to dash through :/

E: Oh hey they are cosplaying as poppy now. I guess it is the absolute least they could do considering they are stealing her name. So you get a wall slam...now what? Jump at them? Seems more like wait and let someone else do the work now because the wall is pretty much all you're good for.

R: Well lets not break the cosplaying trend. Now it's off to pokemon. Badass warrior who went in with reckless regard? nononono poppy is just a team rocket machine now. Blasting off again. The podcast was right. The ult sure is funny... Because it's a fucking joke. That pretty much sums up this entire rework. It's a joke. Poppy had a pretty well defined character and now they want to be anything but poppy.

Why? Why was it so wrong for her to keep even a shred of her identity? Why is fake poppy nothing more than a cosplayer pretending to be everybody but themselves?

Yes poppy's kit had problems there is no denying that, but did her character? Was being the original juggernaut somehow wrong? That is what she was, a pint-sized juggernaut. What is she going to be? nothing more than a tank? Just another champion with no real personality?

When you play draven, you feel like you're playing something unique. You are draven, you're going to throw your axes and you're going to wreck this game because it is the league of draven. He is a unique champion just like poppy was. When you're playing poppy you're not going to confuse it with anyone else. You are the late game destroyer who despite the odds will run into the entire enemy team to accomplish your mission. A rage filled yordle who will do what is needed no matter the cost. They were truly a hero.

Now looking at fake poppy. nooooo stay away from me! SHIELD TOSS tink noooo scary people stay away. Where is poppy's reckless spirit at? Where is the feeling that you are playing poppy at? The only thing this fake poppy has is cowardice. scary people go away ;_;

It's just not poppy anymore.

I like the changes, its fine if you do not but do not assume everyone is on the same page as you.

you don't understand how needed this rework was, not for just poppy, but her w, introducing DASH punishment, finally there is something to screw over mobility creep for a short time. I hope this is implemented on a few more champs in the future or in future reworks Taric maybe....
