Advice on bruiser carry, Poppy cant

MedicalMisfit·May 7, 2017·2 votes·799 views

Hello, I use to be a poppy main. She is by far my favorite player and I play her top and JG. However, being a tank I find it impossible to get out of low elo. Especially when people d/c, afk or int and you are left with a 4on5 which she cant carry. I am looking for advice on a champ that can carry a 4on5 if mastered and can get ahead. Hoping some higher elo players can chime in on what they see at their levels. I am looking for advice on a champ with similar play style to poppy, but can carry. Thank you.

Isn't poppy a tank?

Poppy isn't a carry in the first place. Also she falls off too hard later in the game for a bruiser build to be viable on her. Tri, Titanic Hydra, or IBG. That's pretty much the most offense you can get away with on Poppy in a game...and most of the time it's best to just go IBG (it feels way better late game).

Anywho, if you're looking to go Fighter instead of Tank, and you're LOW ELO, I suggest...eh...Vi for jg, and maybe Darius for top lane.

Read my post again. I edited it but you probs didn't see the edit. Poppy's style is a bit unique, so I can't just recommend someone that's similar, but Vi and Darius could be decent options for a low elo player looking to snowball and win...assuming you'll actually do that. If not, Vi falls off HARD and Darius stops carrying by late game. You can also try Hecarim if you don't want Vi.

Shyvana XinZhao Are both tanky bruisers that can carry a 4v5 if a head. Both are mainly junglers but they can be played top lane and do pretty good depending on the match up.
