Poppy unplayable!

Milla Basset·Nov 12, 2015·0 votes·759 views

Everyone knows that Poppy has been nearly unviable for any lane position and as fallen into the roll of a jungler. However, with the change to the jungle monsters and the jungle itemizations, and the removal of Mana Potions; Poppy is completely unplayable! He weakest point was the amount of mana she needed to have any sort of sustain and without potions or clarity or any mana regeneration in the early game, she has no jungle clear what so ever. So thanks - you've managed to knock Poppy into the category of completely hopelessly useless. She does not have the mana to sustain a jungle clear and manage to gank.

Riot won't do anything about this I don't think, because her update will be announced any day now

I said that too back about this time last year when i saw it was Maokai, Alistar and Tristana's VU. it went seemingly clockwork and just after tristana all these other guys got reworked, that weren't anywhere on the list or radar literally cut infront of poppy.

the worst part about it is i felt like i could taste her being released any day since then.

Well, she's impossible in the jungle but she's still somewhat viable in top lane but it's really hard since, sure she won't die easily, but any juggernaut will just destroy her. Any champion with range will destroy her, mages with high enough burst can wreck her too. Pick's like gnar or quinn or mundo... just nothing you can do but try and farm and eat the damage.

I'm not trying to be harsh with this post because poppy is one of my favorite champions and due to her mana restraints and the lack of AD mana items that really work with her (besides trinity force) She can be played AP tank top, and it is very powerful and definently hypercarry status. but it's hard to get to that point especially with limited mana. you gotta be sparing with your W and E and R, and hope that your Q chunks enough to scare them away from the minion wave. meaning you have to play hyper aggressive in lane or else you have barely any chance to farm.

I know what you mean. I haven't been playing long, but I loved Poppy right from the start and all this talk about rework has made me feel like charlie brown kicking a football.

Poppy is the jungle still works nearly identical to last patch. 12/18/0 masteries getting stormraider's. Start machete and refillable potion, run as quints and red, don't chug your potions use your passive and just make sure to not get invaded at your red. Able to do a full clear and then some still. On first back get the hunter's potion and upgraded smite or just its other component if you are too poor. Don't spam your W and E in the jungle and take the blues, she doesn't need a mana item.
