Something to say about Poppy's new passives. and abilities.

so technically she has two new passives. the main one. which is the shield thing. 15% shield if you grab it back. doesn't seem like much and it seems hard to do in a team fight Its useful in the laning phase and for farming. kind of. but not really in team fights. def 1v1. her W passive is 12% MR and Armor so it means that you will get 12 more armor and MR for every 100 armor and MR which at that point it will not make much of a difference. even at the 40% health double . its not much. doesn't shyvanna have a similar passive that gives her just plain out more bonus armor and MR?, and there are a lot of champions that have better shields than her's. I mean its neat but how useful is it? her old ult was pretty ridiculous lol. and her passive is said by many as the best in the game. but these new ones just don't really break it for me. her scaling is also REALLY low. the q is cool with the % damage but i mean. that AOE effect is so DAMN SMALL. should have just given her her own new passives just like her ultimate instead of giving her passives that other champs have and even better.

and why does her W have magic damage? whos gonna buy magic damage for a mostly AD champion?

Her scalings are actually pretty high; 130% 100% and 90% for her Q, E, and ult, respectively. The W has an AP ratio because every spell that does damage has a scaling, but the designers didn't want it to be one of Poppy's main damage tools.

Those are below average bonus ad ratios and you are not guaranteed to get half off them. Look at Lee Sin's bonus ad ratios.

BONUS AD ratios. Poppy's are TOTAL AD ratios. Lee's bonus AD ratios are high because he doesn't typically build much AD, and his base AD can't play a part in it.

Unless surrender@20 is outdated already they are bonus ad ratios.

No, all of Poppy's ratio's are based off her bonus AD or AP with her W.

Ashe's ult scales ap and deals magic damage. And Shyvana's W and ult scales AP. Rek'Sai's Q scales AP when she's underground. Rengar's W scales AP.... my point is lots of champions have 1 or two random abilities that scale something that they typically don't build.

Her passive is actually really good. Poppy lacks ways of engageing/getting into a fight. Since her first auto of a fight has over 500 range now, she can enagage on a target from range by building item 3742 or item 3022 or item 3025 . That is actually really useful, and since it has a only a 10 sec cooldown late game, she can use it to catch fleeing targets too. Also +15% max hp shield is pretty nice.
