i honestly feel her rework is just meh and need more dmg the great thing about poppy she used to deal lots of dmg and stay tanky with new rework i think riot should of keep her old q and change this e and made her new w activ like her old passiv then this would of been great rework
Poppy rework - apparently the second coming of christ for people who hated poppy or never played her. Those that actually did enjoy poppy mostly agree that WE wanted a fighter /bruiser not a pure babysitter tank.
There seems to be a lot of backlash against people actually liking old poppy and her fighter playstle which makes people downvote those that did to oblivion, go figure, almost as if it was some other toplane champ (perhaps someone metal)
I'm gonna go with bad because it completely erases what she was known for: insane diver of the hardest ham
Her damage is gone, she is now just a peel buddy instead of the one that needs to be peeled - why would I play her now over alistar or janna?
yes her ultimate and passive needed to be overhauled because they were toxic, but COME ON!
I am under the impression that riot only listened to people that were under the impression that she was a tank in the first place without ever reading that she was appropriately labeled as a fighter/assassin (psst, I have never seen full tank poppy do anything relevant)
And now, by popular vote, I have to lose everything I liked about my favorite champion... yup that is reasonable, totally fair - oh and I'm gonna probably lose my toplane taric soon too, outrageous
Everything but her ult was good. Her ult is completely useless. Other than possibly being able to fling a tank away late game (which games end quicker now, so....), that ult is completely dumb. I won't play her now simply because of the stupid ult
I think "meh" about sums up my feelings about the rework. It's a kit that can be made viable by tweaking the numbers - release it a little overtuned and people will play her because of the OP damage, then later tone it down to be on par with other champions. However, there's nothing in her new kit that makes me enthousiastic.
Edit: and that new ult of hers seems so troll. "Oh, you were about to kill that enemy? Let me 'help'."
It does not matter. Balance in the game is fine. Your own skill will trump any perceived game imbalance.
Some changes to her kit that would make her less mediocre in her current state (Probably only apply one or two changes at a time):
There. Pick one or two of these, or even all of them and you got a champion that can actually stand a chance against actual Juggernauts. Honestly, with her current kit, I'd rather play other Juggernauts that can do the same thing better soooooo this really needs to be fixed. Thank you!
I've been comparing her to moakai, decent damage in lane and becomes more of a bodyguard outside of lane, like she can be a diver still with her E and W blocking escapes, or she can sit back and use her abilities to be a linebacker for your carries
I don't think her ult is useless, it's like bards ult, people aren't playing it right, I had a poppy ult away 2 carries in the middle of my wukong cyclone. It's a common mistake you see all your teammates dump there ults on the enemy for a wombo so it's only natural to do the same, people would do the same thing with bards ult.
I do agree with the idea that the massive displacement ult doesn't match the diver play style, but I disagree with her W passive being damage reduction, damage reduction is really powerful and I like how the bonus resistance passive encourages itemizing for tanky stats, where damage reduction is just to make guys who wouldn't be tanky, get tanky without investing gold into it, which isn't ever fair feeling when it's someone who builds a ton of damage and murders people
I miss the old Poppy This poppy is ok i guess but doesent feel like poppy why take out ap on q and just leave her at physical damage smh why change her role
Ap assassin? I don't remember that being her role.

I also think that Riot destroyed a very unique champion. Now Poppy feels like a dull AD/Tank with a very strange (dumb) ultimate... Q is now even more dependend on E. And even with the small AOE, Poppy is still one of the worst farm champions, hence Poppy will not be played more, but even less since many of the Poppy players preferred her kit.
Sorry Riot i am at a minority but i would appreciate the old Poppy far more than.. this.
She feels really responsive and fun. Her damage definitely seems lower but she has a ridiculous amount of tankiness and utility. She's pretty much the premier carry peeler now while still doing enough damage that the other team just can't ignore her. Sure she won't be one shotting people but she can still wreck some havoc.
Yea i agree, getting stunned and killed in .5 seconds while not being able to retaliate was an extreamly fun healthy and cool mechanic
Good. I like everything about her. Her ult is funny too :D
The visual rework is fine and I like her new w but losing that q on her is rough. She seems to seriously lack damage output now. I understand they wanted her tanky and riots idea of tanks are, they don't do great damage but if they get close to you, they can hurt (Garen) Poppy's kit does't have this. I really miss the old q.
The old Poppy was wtf - 1 hit KO with magic dmg crit. It was retarded.
