How Do I Beat Poppy Top?

Stephenizgod··1 votes·3,411 views

I can never fight her, I always get destroyed by her in lane. I can't farm because her Q takes out a fourth of my life and thats only on the first hit, i move out of the second hit. I can't stay under turret, she uses her Passive shield and dives me, bursts me and walks away fine. I try to call for Jg early on to help me steamroll but she just walks away after almost killing us both or she does kill me... or gets a double... I try to run but she hits me with Q, walks in front of me or to the side of me and E's, regardless of whether I hit a wall it almost kills me...

I just don't know how to fight her, I have no clue what to do because every guide I read doesn't work. She can deal with any counterplay I try out, and last time I was Olaf against Poppy i went like 0/25. Can anyone give me any advice on what to do? She feels so freaking broken I literally want to AFK the moment i see her picked... Seriously nothing tilts me harder than the enemy picking Poppy, even if my entire team is winning hard like 10+ kills, I will still tilt hard fighting her.

If Poppy's Q did true damage, if the Poppy had 30 bonus AD at level 1 (this is a very uncommon amount) and if you were playing Anivia (the lowest HP champ at level 1) this still wouldn't be true.

So why lie?

It was an exaggeration, I was trying to make a point. Basically I was saying that her Q deals enough damage to make me back off. Its actually closer to 1/7 or 1/8 of my Hp if you want to be exact.

It is rare to beat Poppy in lane. What I suggest is picking a champ with as much CC, farming and playing passively in the lane phase, ranking up for the team fights and out CCing her when you get there. Nautilis is my best bet to counter but really most hard CC tanks can do the job, just bear in mind you will only get kills in lane if Poppy screws up. If you want lane dominance I suggest Trundle. He's a bigger lane bully then Poppy and Trundle's kit counter a lot of what Poppy does. You don't have as much CC so she will likely team fight a little better but you should be able to put split push her.

Play Garen into her.

He's good at stopping skill/ spell chaining champs and Poppy relies on her skill rotation. You would be manaless so you can stay in lane longer if she's spamming those Qs and running outta mana, you can passively heal if things get dicey and you can run away with Q.

Last time I did Garen against her, neither of us could kill the other but she would definitely win most trades thanks to her Passive.

I played Ryze into her the other day , just farmed up from a safe distance. Trundle and naut do well in the match up too.

I was actually thinking of trying out Trundle, he is a strong lane bully and all.
