Semi-annual reminder that Poppy's been "next in line for a rework" over a dozen champion reworks ago.

And Zilean's global passive was considered sub-par, and it's on it's second nerf...

Riot refuses to buff poppy because they've explained that they understand that she's completely broken. Like poppy, as a champion on paper with no numbers, is completely broken. So they made her early game numbers complete shit. When they rework poppy, she will be a 100% different champion with different tools. Asking for this rework quicker is just like asking for a new champion quicker, the poppy that currently exists will be 100% gone.

Why rework poppy she is like the strongest hyper carry in the game

Yes... When she's fully built IF most other people are significantly underbuilt, she can be a powerhouse.

With the same build discrepancy, you know what Fizz , Riven , Katarina , Jax , LeeSin , Olaf , Nasus , XinZhao , Yasuo , Fiora , Zed can all do....

All of which can carry at LEAST as hard as any poppy with the same amount of farm... and can farm easier, have a far superior early game, and generally much better mobility.

How to counter poppy: Don't position yourself near walls... without that, her damage goes down, she's got no stun, no escape, no built in regen.... yes, she has good armor, but her passive's useless DoTs around: Brand Malzahar Twitch Teemo ....

Yes. Unstoppable (unless the person she's ulting has any CC) for a little longer than a kayle who's just as unstoppable, but has more utility, more sustained damage, and more mobility?

As unstoppable as Olaf and trynd... who also do more damage?

she's "unstoppable" for like 6 seconds every couple minutes (Kindred ult, bard ult.... just walking away for a few seconds)... then if she has the items to do that much damage... you delete her.
