@meddler - the one adjustment Poppy needs, and it's not that terrible E -> Q change

Increase the pickup radius of the buckler.

That's it, that's all she needs. Why?

a) Creep block is insane in 6.1. I don't know if something was changed recently but it's ridiculous right now, especially top lane where you can basically be walled in away from your turret by a line of minions. Having a larger pickup radius would enable to her

b) It's a nice QoL change without straight buffing her because (she doesn't need straight up buffs, and) it also buffs her opponents and their ability to step on the buckler to disable it.

c) The radius does seem too small right now. This probably the only ability in the game where the hitbox matches the object.

d) Anyone who's jungled with her knows the awkward buckler pickup process and that feeling of wasting valuable seconds trying to click behind certain cockblocking camp minions trying to pick the damn thing up.

If you want to make a change to poppy, do this and not that horrible auto Q after E idea - that is pure awkward gimmick and removes an element of skill from her, which is NOT what she needs to happen.

I wish they'd give her the Zac/Olaf treatment in the jungle so that she can path through jungle creeps when her buckler is on the ground, just like with those two's blobs and axes respectively.

picking her buckler up in the jungle isn't awkward at all, you use your passive, move towards it, aa, pick up the buckler, carry on doing whatever.

Looks to be the case that she doesn't need any buffs at all.

I'm okay with that if they make it so if she stuns you with the dash, you actually have to have had hit something. :P
