Poppy tankiness too tanky?

Passive - Stubborn to a Fault: Poppy's total armor and total magic resistance are both increased by 15%, doubled to 30% when she falls below 40% maximum health.

Is that passive on her W really necessary? I mean it feels a little too strong. Maybe increase her tenacity or something? The extra armor and magic resist makes her very hard to kill. Ya know, usually if you build armor the AP mage can still kill you....but not Poppy. One spirit Visage, one piece of armor and that passive makes her tanky against every champion....while doing mixed damage and percent of health damage

Active: Poppy smashes the ground in front of her, dealing physical damage to all enemies hit.

「 Initial Physical Damage: 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 / 115 (+ 80% bonus AD) (+ 7% of target's maximum health)

SEVEN fucking percent from the start? It doesn't even work its way up to 7? Fuck that.

Poppy is a super obnoxious champion design. Tons of CC. Tons of Tank, and still very good damage.

I think the main problem currently is the Courage of the Colossus stacking with her passive shield. Which is probably why they nerfed her passive and little of the damage from it. But seriously... Poppy item 3053 item 3190 and CoC? Thats four fucking shields. Not to mention any others like Lulu, orianna, FOTM... etc. Yeah, riot those shield are fucking broken.

Her %damage is really only an issue if you don't have much resistances and she's not the only tank to actually have that mechanic.

Her W passive is her tank stat. Every tank has one (and so do some juggernauts).

She's also not really a mixed damage champion. The only way she could do mixed damage is through her W active (which you don't use for damage in the first place) and if she has a sunfire. She's mainly physical damage.

Yes a tank is hard to kill. Surprising. CoTC is pretty obnoxious on her (it's pretty obnoxious in general I guess) and she's already receiving nerfs on the PBE (Shield duration decreased to 3 seconds and an ult nerf).
