Poppy is 100% underwhelming

I was super pumped for Poppy. Until playing her one time. 100% underwhelming. What I thought were unique game changes just felt bleh. I feel no sticking power at all. I can't tell if she is tank or bruiser. This new identity is completely different from her old minus the E ability. Why change everything except E. Give her something else to help engage without walls around.Her awesome huge hammer is basically only used for an ultimate which cant be used to chain cc or add damage. Just knock people away. Basically a less satisfying Xin ult which allows the gameplay and decision making to challenge one person and keep them nearby. There were so many cool ways to go with a tiny yordle using a giant hammer. A randomly lame passive and minuscule q doesn't utilize her full potential. I loved finally seeing a unique anti dash spell but it just seems out of place and only offers damage if a champion actually dashes into it. I was super excited for Poppy but now I am just disappointed. Back to not playing until preseason is over.

Riot will fix that if she is, better to be underwhelming that OP as hell and given the old nerf bat to the knees.

Idk, Poppy feels fine to me, might be even a little on the OP side.

She is an absolute peel machine, and her jungling is really good.

Kinda of feel the same. I don't know if she's a tank or a bruiser. And her ult seems really hard to use.
