I use to main poppy. But haven't played much the last 6 months. I am really befuddled by the overhaul. I have her ult on auto cast is that why it doesn't charge? Also looked at new builds on mobafire but haven't had success. Any tips/comments would be helpful. Thanks,
Her ult is basically a moving channel. You have to hold "R" to charge/aim then release it when you want to shoot it off. Double tap it really fast to use it as an 'in place' knock up.
...The longer you channel it before releasing it the longer they will fly when hit.

I play her top lane and I use a generalized rune page of AD Marks/quints, armor seals, and scaling MR glyphs. No real reason to get too fancy. As for masteries you have a few options. 0/12/18 is a great choice when you're against a bad match up, if you think you can straight wreck your lane, 12/18/0 gives surprisingly high burst damage. Items are built as per situation demands. Starting items are varied as well. You can start long sword if you think you can pull ahead quick and maybe cheese a kill or two. Cloth armor for really hard physical lanes. Personally, I don't like it, but corrupting is also an okay start.
This is typically what I end up building if I'm really ahead. Gives you good damage, and tons of armor/health.You can switch up your boots between mercs or tabi depending on whats going on. I still typically end up with swiftness.
You have some options for the last 2 choices.
500 Health, 70 MR and a spell bubble are always nice when the enemy team has a crazy APC. Or teemo minefield bating you.
Usually my fifth.
Damage. Magic Resist. Magic bubble. Always a good choice when their APC is going nuts.
I have a hard time figuring out when to build this. Health damage and bubble all sound nice, but there are other choices that I need more. Apparently, its extremely OP.
I typically have my Poppy games end before I can build my sixth, but its usually ends up being GA under ideal circumstances.
If you end up behind, forgo the Black Cleaver and get Frosty Fist, DMP, and start working to being a straight tank. You have a ton of options, so its mostly using your best judgement.
hello fellow old poppy player, ok first things first. Old poppy could be resiliantly tanky without actually building armor well, New Poppy can do damage without technically buying AD you want to Max your CD with the Frozen Fister, Spirit Visage and some other item. also your ult you wanna only put 1 point in that and ignore it for the rest of the game until ou HAVE to put a point in it. you literally want to ignore that ult, unless you are trying to take something or see the danger coming with no chance of anyone killing said danger.
its a common misconception that poppy's ult is the same as Lulu's ult, the difference is like crap vs chocolate.
the important thing is new poppy isn't a kill frenzy yordle anymore, she's more of a trudge through the enemy team to slowly strangle someone champ now
