Balance Rank: How is poppy even remotely balanced.

I'm not one to write balance rants about people who aren't Yasuo, but Poppy seems incredibly unfair.

Her laning phase is a nightmare to be against. She gets one armor item and she's almost impossible to kill. I've had Poppies repeatedly dive me under tower before level six. You used to be able to buy armor pen, but now that it's 'lethality' it doesn't really turn on until the midgame.

Midgame she's a tanky bruiser. Late game she is literally impossible to kill. She will stand under both of your last turrets while tanking your entire team and comboing your adc do death.

Eh as a long time top main I can tell you she doesn't have the most nightmarish laning phase in the game. I think that in most cases I would rather play against her than a nautilus top. At least with Poppy as long as you position well you will be fine.

CotC was an issue but that got nerfed. She's perfectly balanced, but got even more nerfs on PBE. Learn to position/trade/kite/CC. And Lord Dominik's is a thing, believe it or not. And so is Void Staff.
