It's a buff. Trust me. They even sweetened it with a passive range buff by 50. Just let Riot give Poppy some E range back and let her ult not cuck her own team. This is what we need, folks.

Shredding the defences of top's least tanky tank is NOT EVEN CLOSE to justifying yet another indirect Yas buff! >:(

This was another "EXPERAMENTAL" change that just left me slack jawed when I saw it! I really don't know what the balance team is trying to accomplish right now! I'm just grateful most of this has already been reverted.

Between this, the mage mana changes, and the cost increasing on mana items? They seem to be pushing EVEN HARDER for an AD hyper snowball meta!; And in a time when people are growing frustrated with your product Riot? I'd start listening to your costumers If I was you.

So just leave Poppy to be a shitty tank? You realize that "being tanky" isn't Poppy's problem, right?

She needs buffs that help HER AND HER PLAY STYLE! Not buffs that help OTHER champions at the cost of making her even squishier then she is now! What they proposed would have taken her from worst tank to worst fighter!

And for the record, Poppy is my highest mastery champ by over 100000 points. I want to see her buffed more then most!

They could have buffed her without nerfing her tankiness. Seriously wtf Riot. If you're trying to bring her back this is NOT the way.

Her ult knock-up should never have cucked teammates to begin with. That was like a BUG that you just took years to fix. The knock-back ofc should be invulnerable but why put the uncharged knock-up in the game if they are invulnerable during it anyway?

Her extra range is fine but I think it makes NO DIFFERENCE to how people will trade with her and lane with her. It's easier to harass I guess but you'll still draw almost the same minion aggro and do it at the same times.

Her E into a wall is another one of those buffs that should have already been in place. I mean the reason her winrate is shit is because she's kind of niche and she's not a great team fighter compared to other tanks in her role. You have to be on the correct side of the enemy and they have to be standing close enough to a wall... I wonder what the counterplay to Poppy's stun is... ... ...

QED She is a champion that almost 100% relies on her opponents mistakes for playmaking. (She isn't played by the pros bc what pro is going to count on 5 other pros to make so many mistakes they can be relevant as Poppy). All of the buffs are just quality of life changes if you ask me. Please don't give us quality of life changes WITH BIG NERFS.
