Can you stop playing Poppy jungle?

It's not good. It's not viable. "But Athens, muh stunz against wall" No. You are not good enough to pull that off often enough to compete with junglers like Lee, Elise, etc. Poppy jungle is bad and it puts your team at a disadvantage. You just have to accept you won't get any help while playing super carefully because the enemy team has a decent champ in the jungle. I get you kids love to play reworked and new champs in stupid positions because omg so new and fun and viable. But no Yes I'm salty, but it has been happening way too much My winrate skyrockets when I dodge every game with Poppy/Illaoi in it because I know those players are just playing it because it's new and are going to be ass

Poppy was re-designed with jungle clears in mind as well; Riot stated that they thought it was appropriate to keep her as a potential jungler. You can't just now say that she's not viable, because she can definitely do things.

Thing is, Poppy has a bunch of unique utility that allows her to step into any dire situation and begin to pull it apart. She can displace (or stun), slow, interrupt dashes and provide an ultimate that either throws enemies out of a fight or keeps them suspended in the same spot allowing for a stun or wombocombo setup. She's easily viable, it's all down to the player that chooses her and what that player thinks they should be doing when they pick her. I'm sorry you had a Poppy that didn't play her in the right fashion or in the right scenario, but don't just say she's useless as a jungler. Note that before Sated came out, someone like Shyvana couldn't even do anything on the list of the quirky things that Poppy could do. She was a cookie-cutter autoattack bruiser with no CC. Udyr can deal damage, take damage, be mobile and stun. Using your logic, do you think they'd be an instant-lose champion choice? Would you put them on the same level as new Poppy?

you dont even need to wallstun someone to make a gank successful. just getting behind your opponent and pushing him into your buddy can do enough.

especially on bot lane, where it means youre separating one of your opponents from his buddy and hes now sitting in a sandwitch made of you, your support and your marksman.

Jungle Ekko works while he was originally Mid.

Jungle TahmKench works while he was originally Top or Support.

So what makes you think Poppy is unviable in the Jungle?
