Dev blog from a year ago:

"It's time to rework Poppy!" Right after Maokai and Tristana... Poppy's gonna get a rekit!

... Right after Soraka. Then poppy. ... K, right after sion. ... And Zilian and Veigar rekits no one asked for. ... And Zilian again. And Nidalee. ... And Miss Fortune and Gangplank... but then Poppy! ... And complete Ashe and Ryze rekits no one asked for. (Today) ... after Fiora, Garen, and Darius complete rekits. ... and Skarnar and mordekaiser.

.... then Poppy.

I've already scoured every edge of the internet for information. Seen that link as well. Yet to hear from Meddler or Morello or another Rioter about any actual info though :( The community has had a lot of good ideas, there was a post some time ago about adding a fear to his ult. There are so many suggestions (sorry don't have any links right now). I love playing him but he has a really hard time top lane against most champs...

If you've seen a good Poppy, you'll know why people actually do want her reworked.

"i fed 20 kills but because i finished hydra your adc isnt going to be playing for the rest of this match."

Im just glad it's literally right around the corner. All they have left to do is the art and animations.

Riot has been pretty consistent in saying that Poppy and Taric are the next two complete reworks after Sion (new art/lore/gameplay, not just one or two of those). They didn't mean that smaller scale reworks would not be released in the mean time.

Seriously... taric's had at least 2 complete overhauls already, and 3 major kit changes (Remember when his passive was manasteal? Then he got passive manamune... then they said screw mana, go armor?

Do you remember how long it took the Sion rework to come out?

Expect that for Poppy. She's a full relaunch, not a simple rework.

There were other reworks that came out first because if Poppy's rework was the next to come out we wouldn't get another rework until next year at the earliest.

"Full relaunch" means nothing Poppy will have new graphics,new voice,new passive,new ultimate,new W (probably). She will keep Smash and Stun (Q and E) Fiora got new graphics,new voice,new passive,new ultimate,new E and heavy changes on Q and W Why is this not considered full relaunch?

Jungle Lux GodAug 28, 20151 votes

Poppy is getting significantly more dramatic changes as a character than Fiora did.

Fiora got new graphics (including a new model), adjustments to her basic abilities, and a brand new passive and ultimate.

Poppy will get new graphics, a new voice-over, and all-new basic abilities (except for her E, maybe her Q), new passive, new ultimate, and quite possibly dramatically different visuals (to have her fit with other yordles). The work for Poppy is closer to designing a new champion than reworking an old champion, while Fiora was closer to reworking an older champion.
