Poppy Nerfs: Patch 6.7

Personally, I think that the Poppy nerfs were extreme. Yes, I know she was very strong prior to the changes. However, the nerfs have caused her to be very difficult to play ( at least in my opinion). I understand the dmg nerf on Q (which i don't think is too bad), the passive not resetting AA anymore and javing reduced range seems like a bit much, and the range nerf on E is ridiculous. Poppy's E is now near impossible to land the stun on an enemy due to her having to be so close to activate it. In closing, I personally believe that the nerfs were a bit excessive. What do you guys think? I would love to hear others comments on Poppy's nerfs this patch.

I think these nerfs are atrocious. Her damage output is shit now, and its damn near impossible to stun an enemy unless they are dumb enough to be next to her, and be in between her and a wall. Otherwise all you have to do is keep your distance and shes shit.

I tried doing a custom clear with her. It still works, but her buckler no longer being a reset makes it really awkward now.

I mean, I would have settled for her buckler behaving like a ranged attack so Grasp didn't do its full proc, but...what ever

I would have rathered the shield toss passive just died alltogether rather messing with the range of my slam. as i've said in another forum this nerf works with the riff raff that play other things but for me there is an imaginary line where i know when the slam is going to be in range, and that split second of when i'm going to be able to slam n trade.

I don't know what goes on top, since i play her bottom; but even pre nerf it is fustrating to slam someone who knows to stay center lane, being slammed deserved all the dmg cc and punishment. As someone who played poppy pre-rework one thing that made me accept THIS poppy is not having to go " FULL 90" to reliably slam its the type of nerf that makes me just want the old one back... the old one was faster so going full 90 was easier.

Poppy was a terror of toplane and the nerfs were very much justified

I don't main pops, but I play top the most and Poppy is definitely a good pick atm. And even if I really enjoy the easy lane, and burst, nerf that shit.

yes, its to be seen whether it'll be too much or not.
