Are you going to stick to your statement on Poppy or not?

Back in 2013 Morello made these statements, that they would "nerf Poppy if she ever sees play".

She saw competitive play. She was toxic to the game back then. She's still toxic to the game. You guys have done nothing to fix this and her rework isn't even in sight.

Every single game I have a Poppy in I dread, and I don't actually know a player who has disagreed - in lobby, immediate first reaction to a Poppy pick is, "God fucking damn it not again." Doesn't matter if you win, she's not fun to play against, her counterplay is asinine (as in she has basically zero past run, bitch, run), her lategame is so atrociously overpowered that it makes Vayne look tame, and she's old-school Alistar busted where she can turret dive and walk out with little to no damage on top of being able to build up damage while eating up several times what she even puts out - which is a fucking lot.

I thought she'd just pass, but no. It's several months later and I still have to ban her every game now just for fear that I may just hate the next 20+ minutes of my life.

I never see Poppy.

She is never banned.

There are many other champs more annoying than her.

She was played like... twice and I don't think she did good so crisis averted?

Somewhere on this planet there is a single Poppy main smiling at this thread.

True that. I've played ARAM's against good Poppy players and that is just a nightmare.

She was a pocket pick for one LCS player. (Don't remember his name, but it was from Unicorns of love)) Riot mentioned that they would be worried if she became pick/ban, in general.

OP takes Riots words way to literally. And yes, her rework is in sight, so I doubt they will actually do anything until the rework happens.

They already responded to a thread like this saying "Poppy being a professional's pocket pick isn't a big deal, but if she ever became a mainstream competitive pick she'd be nerfed into the ground."

Apathy like that causes problems.

"It's okay if a few cops abuse their power. We can turn the other way on that. Just don't let TOO many do it, or we'll have to actually do some investigations and stuff. And nobody wants that."

Agreed, but they've known she's needed reworked for a while. Her rework is just less than Sion-level and if to she did get popular (because everything in lcs gets popular) they'd have to Olaf her or push out a rework sooner than they were prepared to which likely would result in them rushing it and it being less than what she deserved.

Somewhat playing devils advocate but it seems like a reasonable assessment.

She has an abhorrent early game. If she's the only good carry in the team as in they have a random Kennen mid with an Ezreal ADC and a Warwick jungle, I think it's safe to just camp Poppy. Because she does have a really bad early game. Just camp her and don't let her get any farm and she will be close to useless.

The full AP Poppy is the bane of my existence.
