Why did they remove Poppy's AA reset from her passive?

Ralanr··2 votes·371 views

Granted it's been a while since they did this, but I never understood why. The range nerfs I understand, her harass from a distance and how far she could close the gap (and push you) was pretty crazy on a tank (she's primary tank. Her AD scalings allow for bruiser builds, but her kit is built for tanking).

So why did they remove the AA reset? I'll admit I miss it (the memory of it makes playing her somewhat saddening whenever she just stares at someone after she threw her shield) so I'm obviously biased.

Because reasons. I'd take a stab at it making her trades a little bustier and stronger? I don't know really.

I don't know how removing an AA reset makes her trading stronger. I'm probably missing something.

If it resets her AA then she can AA faster than she's supposed (I think it's about 30% faster). That makes her burst slightly faster and thus her trades slightly stronger. Almost non-existant for anybody other than pro's.

Also, I'm very much stabbing in the dark here, I actually have no idea why it was removed. That's the only strength I can see AA resets add, so I'm guessing that.

If you're going to complain that a champion is no longer unique because they are part of a new race.
