The Poppy Main speaks out on Poppy.

So, I have a few concerns about the upcoming Poppy rework. I know that sounds a bit obvious, it's a change we don't have a lot of word on yet and it's going to have a massive impact on my overall League experience. She needs a rework, that's for sure. But my concerns come from Riot talking about giving her sustain and waveclear and to be honest I'm terrified at that idea. Like, real talk. Having no sustain or waveclear IS part of her identity. Having a nonexistent lane phase IS part of her identity. You can't remove those things and keep her in tact. Change her ult and her passive, sure. I can get behind that. Her live ult isn't the most interesting, and doesn't have a lot of counterplay aside from waiting it out. Her passive is more or less invisible on live, and doesn't really feel good on either end as something impactful that you should do the math for. Those things going is definitely something I can get behind.

But for the love of god

Please be careful when you buff her weak areas.

Having to work around her weaknesses is part of what makes playing Poppy such a satisfying experience. And it wouldn't be so fun if her weaknesses weren't so pronounced.

She has no sustain and waveclear because of the rest of her kit.

So they're going to be remaking her, and they might actually give her some sustain and/or waveclear. Might not.

Either way, pretty much the only thing that's going to be surviving is her E.

I've had concerns about her rework too. Sadly whenever riot decides to change a champ, there's not much the fans can do about it to change their minds.

I mean Meddler and Repertoir have been good about talking to us and answering our questions as they can. However when it comes to down to when can talk to use fans things are usually set in stone on their end.

I for one can't wait for the poppy rework. I hope they add a new mechanic into the game, heh
