Who plans to main poppy post rework?

kasfas··4 votes·1,355 views

I plan on making her my second main. (After sion :p), because her kit is real fun for me. Love bashing people into walls then hammering them for 12% max hp. Also her w makes me so happy that whenever I see Yasuo or riven, I pity them. ( cock blocked so hard ), can't wait for her to hit live and for people to stop playing her post-rework status (ya'all know what I'm talkin' 'bout) to smash some face in.

Don't really plan to main her, but I actually plan on bying and playing her, she seems incredibly fun.

I plan on defiantly playing her more than I do now.

I would like to main all female yordles.

Lucky my best roles are top ad carry and support.

I don't buy champs I don't plan to play, I just bought some adc so I can trade during ranked, but most of the champs I own are champs I played /am learning/want to learn. I know it's a bit stupid, but it's a waste to buy a champ I dont want to play only to be forced to when I get him in aram, really =_= (it's already annoying when it happens with free-week ones xD)

I wish I could return some champions for a % of what I paid. / what there worth currently.

I have way too many I don't play..

kasfas1 votes

That's basically what I do now, but after a while you run out of champs you KNOW you wanna play, so you just buy whoever you wannaplay that day.

Valexfor1 votes

If I run out, I just wait, I don't want to be forced on champs I don't like in aram

The new Poppy seems weaker overall at every stage in the game. Yeah, she can block dashes, but that's really her only saving grace past laning phase.

If her ult knocked the enemy back opposite of her instead of always towards the fountain, it'd be a completely different story though. Even if they made it so it wasn't an AoE it'd still be good.

Her q, if you land it fully, deals 12% of target's max hp. Couple this with any slowing auto, DMP, IBC( what I prefer ), and you do deal lots of dmg overall. Her w passive also allows her to buy more offensive items than others like her. You can get 4 half offence half defence items and get the defence of 3 defence item about 3.65 below 40% hp. So she may not deal the insane burst she used to, but can still deal a very good amount for what is now essentially a tank.

I'm hoping to play her support more than I do know. I am a support main and when me and my friends are just playing a fun game I'll occasionally grab her but honestly she's not a good support at all right now, just fun. Maybe/hopefully that changes after the rework .

Mimy1 votes

She's a good tank peeler. And has a nice disengage ultimate

kasfas1 votes

I'll tell you now that her supporting ability seems really good, but I couldn't really get a good judgement because at the time I tried it there was a bug with Mundo making his cleaver deal upwards of 400 dmg at lv1, and everyone was exploiting it botlane. Her peel is insane though, I played with a vayne one game, and after a bad trade in river she got real low (>100 hp) and they were right on her ass. I decided to charge my ult about .75 seconds earlier, so I sent them flying away, and we both got out alive.

I plan on learning her. I think people who enjoy Sion will enjoy her.

kasfas1 votes

Yes I do very much so. Can't tell you how much.

Zero Shingetsu2 votes

I just might. I've played her extensively in the past at support, and that new lunge interception mechanic looks perfect for the role. Not to mention the ult. NO ONE will touch Poppy's carry. :) If the rework feels comfortable when I actually get to play it, I can see her becoming my main.

kasfas1 votes

Her kit is a giant f*ck you to all assassins, fighters, adcs, tanks, mages, and... well, everyone essentially.

AND I F*CKING LOVE IT!!!

Zero Shingetsu3 votes

Yeah, I feel like this is what Poppy was always meant to be. The little yordle with a big hammer who takes BS from no one. POPPY HAS FOUND HER CALLING.

Psykoh1 votes

shes my favorite champ ill definitly play her to learn her in and outs quite well she is currently my go to toplaner in ranked ppl never see her coming haha

kasfas1 votes

Tbh, she isn't bursty at all like she used to be. She still has elements of burst, eq wall combo, however she doesn't oneshot anyone ( at least the way I build her), it normally takes three e q's for a squishy if not more.

her anti dash ability is proably the best thing to come to league since i started playing. we might need another champ with this ability. yea ill proabaly buy her.

Poppy needs a range increase on her Q kinda like vei koz but shorter, that's all I can complain about

kasfas2 votes

Actually, it's pretty good at what it does, short range kind of pseudo-burst. After playing her a while, you don't notice the small range, it deals all of its damage.

I had a poppy mirror match a bit ago, and she was surprised at my damage output with just a sheen. I always came out on top in trades and fights. I recommend trying IBG on her for pretty much all the offensive stats you need. She falls off a BIT lategame this way, but is quite a bit better than some other options for her to rush.

EcchiOtakuTM1 votes

Oh yea most def I love her rework completely just that the q I still feels needs slightly longer range since it's a skillshot now.

kasfas2 votes

after playing her, her damage is really good, and everyone underestimates the size of your q i wouldn't buff her now, id even go as far as to say she may need some changes to make her damage easier to avoid.

EcchiOtakuTM1 votes

Omg for a second my heart dropped I thought I said illaoi's Q needed a range extend i rushed to the title to see it said poppy lol. I know that's more of a personal thing but jesus i was scared for a sec.

But yea I see your point I won't ask for Q range increase just yet.

Big Lincoln1 votes

i'll play her a little bit

doesn't seem very strong or what I had expected thematically but she's probably worth playing if her ult turns out to be as broken as it sounds

Sukishoo1 votes

imma go main her right now XD!

kasfas1 votes

Nice!

jeremiahBIO1 votes

wont main her, as i have no true "main" but i will try to learn her for jg and top.

kasfas1 votes

I find she isn't great for jg. I find her best at support and top, and in support they never engage you, I think their too afraid of the wall stun.

Poppy was my first main when i started playing league, like lvl 5-20, and i really had fun with her. But i always just thought i was horribly bad at the game, then i started playing other champs more and realized "i don't suck as much as i thought, Poppy is the problem." after that realization i stopped playing her as much and starting maining Sona instead. i still play Poppy rarely but with the rework i might just have a new go to top laner along with Darius

kasfas1 votes

Her kit is a lot like sion, lots of situational power. If you can land q's and get e stuns, you can play her pretty well.

ItsStout1 votes

I see her as a hybrid of Lee and Maokai and I love it. She's a powerful dualist, even if she builds full tank (IBG is only nessisary damage, and DMP is 100 dmg too I guess. 40% CDR feels REALLY good on her as well, although some are running 45% by going cunning. I prefer resilance, that 3% life on your passive is nice.)

kasfas1 votes

She isn't great until her first item buy. I rush sheen or shroud if I'm behind, and once I get ibg, I can duel most any toplaners and come out ahead.

ItsStout1 votes

I honestly think she'll be a better jungler.

Twiggles1 votes

I hated Fiora before her rework. Now she's one of my mains. I feel meh about live Poppy. Perhaps history will repeat itself.

kasfas1 votes

She is a lot more cohesive, and all of her abilities fit her thematic. She is a fuller champion now, and I personally love her joke.

Mirage Seraph1 votes

Current Poppy is one my favorite champions in the game, and the rework, while completely removing her, has me super hyped. I'm definitely planning on frequenting her. Main? Too early to say. I hope so though.

kasfas1 votes

You seem to have posted this twice, aside from that new poppy is quite different, her burst is more avoidable, but with an aa slow, you have no problems. Much better to build her tank now.
