well thats stupid. i thought poppy was supposed to be THE counter to those champs. preventing her from getting too close isnt much of a threat if she can instantly recall to try again later anyways. not to mention that her range probably allows her to still assassinate someone without even getting caught by it.
but the prospect of suddenly being stranded far too close to the enemy would at least make her think twice about it.

Stilll intended behavior that is unlikely to change.
You can always block her initial dash, or CC her before she can press W again.

It isn't stupid. Poppy very specifically and clearly stops dashes, where Le Blanc's return is very clearly a Blink. Even then I wouldn't call her "THE counter." Because her W can only stop 1 dash from a Champion, the Champs who you usually want to deny mobility the most (Lee Sin, Yasuo, Ahri, Riven, etc) all have multiple dashes. Then you have, yes, blinks like Le Blanc. Zed's Shadows. Yasuo's Ult (technically a blink), and so forth that her W won't do anything about.
Who is punished the most by Poppy? Champions with only a single dash as their only escape/mobility. Stopping Tristana from Rocket jumping away is probably going to have more impact than stopping Ahri from using 1 of her 3 ult dashes.
Not to mention it can't stop flash which every Champion will have.

Truly Prideful1 votesI think it's because the return is classified as a blink rather than a dash so Poppy can't stop it.
