Poppy - An assassin, tank, fighter. But now?

With the new Poppy rework, I don't see assassin poppy being capable, since her ult is just a giant (channeled) disengage tool. It slows you down, so it's not even good for separating people from the pack. Her q is only useful with a stun, or if the opponent makes a dumb mistake, which won't always happen if you're trying to dive an enemy adc that's out of position. And a mini-game.. Really?

What's next, Lucian's passive is a mini-game where you have to click twice in rhythm with DJ Sona's music?

You act like Poppy being an Assassin/Tank/Fighter is a good thing.

It's not.

Really, it's not.

She's now a Fighter/Tank really, I agree being an Assassin won't work. Then again, current Assassin Poppy is super annoying.

Her q is only useful with a stun

You mean like her E? Not to mention her Q also slows.

And a mini-game.. Really?

I don't know what mini-game you are talking about. If you consider her passive a mini-game, then I guess basically every ability is a mini-game.

It slows you down, so it's not even good for separating people from the pack

I don't get how those two things are related. The only thing it does is separate people from the group. That's like saying Varus' Q slows him down so it can't really deal damage.

Poppy has been like THE iconic late game hyper carry pretty much from the day she came out. Now she is a tank.

This is a problem.

Yeah she is less cancerous now.

Passive: I dont care for her mini-game passive. Think riot tries way to hard with these kinds of things and it ends up being the most unfun things about a champion. Where a lot of champions get overloaded kits with almost guaranteed shields, I have to work twice as hard to get mine? no thanks. Its like they took away her really strong passive, replaced it with a weaker one and then decided to nerf it in the name of their strange idea of fun by forcing you to pick it up mid fight.

Ult: This is a pretty much 100% useless Ult for a top laner or jungler. Its only use is to reset a fight you are already losing. Gives you absolutely no kill pressure in any role. Oh whats that? Poppy is about to ult? Look out everyone, we might be slightly inconvenienced.

I will have to wait and see about her scaling on her Q but I don't really like that either. Seems like they tried to turn her into a bot lane support. This might be great if it were a new champ, but for me as a poppy fan, this pretty much kills her entirely.
