Well I can say most junglers must dislike Poppy.

It's pretty much impossible to gank her after 6 and god help you if you rely on a gap close that isn't a blink. I like her design, but god it's impossible to help your teammate going against her in lane. She makes me sad as a Kha'Zix main.

Morgana can shield up, snare you and even fade away ulti. You need to understand there are many guys that can't be ganked in this game.

I can't tell you how many times I've fade away ulted then realized "oh wait, I can take these guys" and turned around for a double kill because they kept chasing me in my ult.

Or just come back after she uses it.

Plenty of champions have escapes or CC on a much lower cooldown.

Funny enough I did come back directly after getting ulted over a wall. Only because she chose to stay in lane with the same half hp she had prior and I don't think she warded her lane once.

A lot of people seem to have that attitude after they have escaped a gank. They don't really expect you to immediately come back, even if they've blown Flash or an ultimate to escape the previous gank and you are still near full health.

You have to juke the ult, it's not hard to dodge it or out range it, just gotta kite her about. Don't just run in and try and burst her down straight away.

don't think it's necessarily true that they can't be ganked, I just think it's about methodology, you need a different approach.

A champion like Poppy could be a good candidate for lane ganking instead of the standard route through river. No time to charge the ult up as you're on her before she sees you coming. As a fellow Kha'zix player I can tell you the lane gank is becoming a hugely preferred method for me, unless they're skull fucking your turret there's not a huge level of success on the standard river gank.

Ganks don't always have to result in a kill either, blowing flash, or at the very least forcing them out of lane provides an edge for your laner, or even just a bit of relief from the pressure of a strong lane opponent. Having been on both sides from all lanes I understand that even the jungler showing up to scare the opponents out of playing so aggressive can provide major relief.

Then you get the junglers who flash under enemy turret to chase their flash and get killed. Then they want to blame you for not following up when all your abilities are on cd, low on hp and mana and see the enemy jungle coming in to countergank...

Getting enemy flash, or even denying some farm is good enough jugglers, you don't NEED to get a kill on every gank, not even if you're an early snowball jungler. If they flashed, come back in a minute and they can't do it again.

Honestly, if you blew flash, and didn't put a ton of damage on them, you can even turn around and bush camp them for when they inevitably turn around to farm again in 5 seconds.

??? if you think you can't gank her, why do you even bother ??????????????????

she deals no damage. If anyone dies against her 1v1 they must be really bad.

Poppy's ult makes teamfighting a constant 5v4... good luck protecting the back line when the frontline has been sent back to base.

As Eve, I play mind games a lot with people. :P Gank someone and they blow all their CDs to escape, so I walk through minions so they can clearly see me on the map, and turn around once my stealth kicks on, and gank again. :P In low ELO, no one expects it. xD

its not like a hero thats hard to gank is anything new for this game. Champions already have had gank immunity skills like spirit rush for awhile now.
