@Meddler, why can tanks who build no damage items crush people?

Bultz··3 votes·1,186 views

Why are tanks able to do more damage than most champions when not even "slayers" do as much damage nor do "fighters". But you have shits like Poppy crushing people like yasuo. I had one stun me and basically one hit me? Why is that okay? I want answers, you see, because Yasuo was nerfed for doing shit tons of damage as tank Yasuo, why is tank poppy not being nerfed?

If you got one hit by a poppy then you did something very very wrong.

How? Poppy has low damage, if you got one hit by her that's on you.

Low damage? she hits you and stuns you. Plus she did nearly 90% of my hp with I was stunned. and Yasuo doesn't have escapes without minions.

Poppy doesn't have any minion-less escapes either? Also, poppy does %hp damage from q and typical "tank damage" from iceborn/sunfire. Much of the damage is rarely ever serious, thus if you're "crushed" by one then they usually had at least a 1-2 item advantage.

poppy doesn't need the escapes because she can trade safely with tank items, but has huge build in damage. Ummm isn't that why ekko and Yasuo tanks got nerfed? so nerf poppy and all those type of champions because if one is screwed they all should be.

Yasuo and ekko got nerfed because they were known assassins (I count yasuo as an assassin as his kit basically screams it) who were abusing tank items in their kits to make them impossible to deal with. Poppy's a bruiser (similar to the likes of darius/garen) who can do literally nothing vs ranged characters unless obscenely fed. Next time you face a poppy, play literally anything with range and tell me she is OP/broken. Chances are you'll either snowball hard off her, or just die anyways because hey I'm not gonna judge your skill level or anything.

I just played against poppy top as ekko, we were even in lane and she did 900 of my 1400 hp with one combo.

I had a sheen and she had a hexdrinker.

She definitely did 2/3 of my health in one combo.

Maybe not one shot, but close to it.

Marshbouy2 votes

that is a blatant, monstrous, colossal, lie.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo1 votes

no its possible she does %hp damage

Marshbouy2 votes

Assuming she is level 9, and her build was only hexdrinker

90+2(130+196)+70+2(60)+220=1152 buckler, double Q, W, double E, R Add in grasp of the undying and an auto attack and you get probably 1300 pre mitigation damage, so sure it's possible, but that's a good 5-6 seconds. Not a short fight by any definition and poppy blew a lot of abilities while also outplaying ekko by managing to pin him against the wall and abuse ever bit of damage output that she had. It's literally a full combo, and poppy would be left with no abilities by the end of the fight.

TL;DR poppy probably could have done it, but deserved that much damage for managing to get all of it off over an extended period of time, the use of all of her resources, and outplaying ekko.

oSEXYPLATYPUSo2 votes

so due to her inherent tankyness and damage reduction with her %hp damage and cc she could then out sustain in a extended fight and out trade a squishy

Marshbouy1 votes

Yeah pretty much. Of course it doesn't help that the guy was playing tank ekko, a build that has been completely gutted at this point. Well, glad we got that sorted out. Have a nice day.

exactly and can you as ekko do anything to her? no because you need items to do damage, while she doesn't and can take your hits without any fear in the trade, but tank ekko and yasuo weren't allowed to, why should anyone else be?

no cuz she is classified as a tank.... the reason why yasou and ekko tank builds were nerfed is cuz they are fighters/assassins and didnt lose damage by getting tanky... they are ment to be squishy .. she isnt ... she didnt build damage she had an iceborn gauntlet and sunfire cape which makes her tankier you had no items and tried to fight a tank as an unfed under farmed yasou jungler

I see this thrown around all the time. You do realize that Poppy isn't going to do the same level of damage as Yasuo does to a target of equal durability?

Poppy didn't outdamage you. No one needs to outdamage a squishy target to kill them. Glass cannons break easily because they are made of glass.

You also died 7 times and only had two items, none of which gave any durability. Poppy was also Gold 5.

You didn't get outdamaged, you got squashed by a low to medium damage champion because you're squishy as fuck.

Again she is a tank. If riot is nerfing yasuo for build the same thing poppy is and doing the same level of damage, then she should be nerfed too. On top of that she did 70-90% of my hp with her kit with half a build item.

Her rank means nothing to me. I can Play stupid champions who tank too and climb, but I don't want to.

and again she stunned me and did 90% of my hp in damage. She should be nerfed for that same as yasuo was.

Tank Yasuo was nerfed because his tank build removed any weakness in his kit. He's meant to be squishy as a tradeoff for his mobility and damage. But the tank builds made him durable without taking enough of that damage or any of the mobility away.

Poppy is never going to do as much damage as Yasuo. You are not thinking clearly if you honestly believe that. Granted this doesn't mean she wouldn't have enough damage to kill Yasuo, but that's not something new. Tanks can kill people and have done so for a long time. They are not just meat shields, they are fucking tanks that should be feared and respected.

and again she stunned me and did 90% of my hp in damage. She should be nerfed for that same as yasuo was.

Show me the math of her doing 90% of your health. Maybe then I'll believe you, though a lot of the damage is probably because you had no armor beyond base to reduce any of it and she had Thunderlords which is known as a huge damage boosting mastery.

ummm but she is. and this whole thing isn't just about poppy, it's all tanks in general. they are most definitely doing more damage than fighters or slayers. Tanks are not meant to out damage anyone, but you see this %%%%% Nautilus and this mfker Malphite they along with most tanks will fking crush you.

Because she isn't mobile or has high damage.

It's not outdamaging if you aren't that hard to kill in the first place. Against another tank they wouldn't much damage because they have actual resistances and health.

Of course they do....not..... They are not meant to. On top of that tanks are not fighter nor mages nor burst mages nor juggernauts. they are not meant to do much damage, but they counter assassins/slayers, mages counter assassin/slayers, anyone with any for of cc(90% of champions) counter assassins/slayers. but they are not meant to. Not all of them.

So what do tanks counter then by your logic? ADCs? No one?

That ain't how the game works, buddy.

  1. poppy counters yas
  2. shes not oneshotting anything inless shes full ad
  3. poppys stun is one of the most well design abilities in the game imo because it rewards being good at positioning for poppy and punishes bad positioning against her. poppy can also duels decently even if she doesn't stun

As someone who used to play a lot of poppy, she used to be op. However, the nerfs left her in a terrible state. She's slowly recovering with slow buffs right now. She doesen't counter much people except champs with dashes and you played Yasuo, of course you're gonna have a bad time. Literally, all you had to was wait for her w to be down as it does not last long before dashing and you'd be fine. I could understand pre-nerf Poppy one-shotting people as she was broken (rip bae) but Rito nerfed her burst a long time ago. They changed her q to deal more%health dmg and less flat so she could not burst squishies as hard but deal more dmg to tanks. This meant that getting oneshot by one is impossible unless it was AD poppy, You were really low, you are a salty yasuo main, or you were incredibly behind. Additionally, Poppy gets no dmg rewards from building tanky, all her dmg abilities scale with ad except w. The only tank items that give her dmg are sunfire, iceborn, deadman's, and thornmail. These are all items available for everyone! So, she DOES NOT gain damage rewards for building tank. She gains tankyness which allows her to stay alive longer to do more damage, but in a slower pace which disproves her one-shotting some once again. Additionally, if you're complaining about Poppy's base dmg, then you'd have to lower the base damage of all tanks as most tanks, have decent base damage while having better cc than Poppy. The only thing that sets people apart from Poppy was the fact that she was a jack of all trades tank pre-nerfs, but now she's just peel bot. as her DAMAGE and ENGAGE WAS NERFED A WHILE AGO. So, I don't see the point of how post-nerf Poppy could ever hope of one-shotting a yasuo as she is not the champion she once was. If you want Poppy to be nerfed even more, what can a tank with even lower base dmg, a very situational stun, okay-ish cc, and positioning based dmg do?

Ralanr1 votes

Apparently still be a peel bot with her W and ult.

Poppy doesn't get damage from building tank Poppy doesn't counter everyone. Poppy has obvious counters. Poppy doesn't one shot anything inless she is full ad I actually don't know where your getting this idea that Poppy is op. She does less damage than tank Yasuo and tank Ekko ever did, thats why they were nerfed
