@Ironstylus what can we expect from the inevitable Poppy VU?

Im guessing that its going to coincide with the rework she so deserves. I just played a game against a poppy that reminded me why needs on, lets just say im gonna have nightmares tonight.

But i was just wondering if she is actively being worked on and what attributes she will keep?

She's not actively being worked on. We're possibly considering her as a candidate for late this year, but no guarantees. Here's pretty much what I'd want to see:

That's some fan art done by one of our former, and sorely missed, artists Kienan.

It would roughly equate to solidify Poppy in the Yordle space and give her (as I think is what's appropriate for all Yordles) slightly more animalistic features. I'd say she could skirt slightly more animal in an official version, but I generally like where this is at.

I think it's ok that we could say male Yordles get scruffy, almost puppy/rodent sort of vibes to them, while females have much less hair (maybe a peachfuzz amount) and are a bit more divergent from the males.

Also, this gives her actual anatomy! That's a plus. We did the same thing with Heimer and will have to do such for the rest of the Yordles.

I do not remember anyone mentioning any specific ideas on what the Poppy VU will entail.If I remember correctly, details on Poppy's VU(and Tristana's) are vague because Riot has yet to nail down what female yordles are supposed to look like. If the great parrot deems you worthy of an answer, I hope it includes an update on their progress toward codifying that look.

As long as she stays in the "badass yordle knight with a hammer" space I don't think you'll get any complaints about this one.

I would love a poppy vu simmilar to the new trist vu, like how they made her more adult midget looking instead of a blue child. I most of all want them to fix her splash art, since the only reason I bought a skin for her is because I hate her original splash.
