Something needs to be done about poppy in Twisted Treeline

I know most of you won't care about this or have no idea what this is about but let me explain you. Right now poppy is being abused in Twisted Treeline being picked in almost every game. The fact is Twisted Treeline is a small map with mostly closed quarters fights and walls everywhere in contrast to SR. This leaves you open to Poppy's stun all the time and offers little to no counterplay. On top of that squishy champs get deleted during 1 stun duration while others struggle to fight against her due to her low shield cd on top of the constant stuns. Poppy was clearly not designed with Twisted Treeline in mind. It would be nice if she could get certain changed just for that specific map and I would even go as far to ask to disable Poppy in 3 vs 3 for how obnoxious she is there.

Riot deleted Crystal Scar because they didn't want to fix any of the new champions pool for it, They're not balancing anything for TTL, they'll delete it first cause it's easier.

I wouldn't even say poppy is the issue but rather anything that's a tank..

Presumably, Riot hasn't assigned anyone new to work on Alternate Maps, and, unfortunately, ManWolfAxeBoss, the guy who does work on Alternate Maps, confirmed that SR balancing is taking up most of his time nowadays.

Alternate Maps attention is still long overdue, but good luck convincing Riot to divert resources to non-SR balance.
