Really dont like the new Poppy

I posted this on another thread, but i really wanted to make my own

Honestly, I really do not like her new rework. Hear me out first before you all downvote me to hell.

A Couple main things

  1. It wasn't a big enough rework to pretty much completely change her (Like Sion) and, to me, feels like just a worse version of her past self, minus the insanely fun ult
  2. Her new ult is just plain worthless -It barely does any damage -It only knocks enemies towards their own base, which honestly doesn't do anything but help them. Its like if bard ult also teleported them far away. The damage isn't enough to kill and it just gives them an escape. -The cd on it is insane for how little value you get from it. Having to wait 120 seconds just to save the enemy again is ridiculous to me -The ult itself is very slow moving, and ive seen many people just able to walk out of the line -Had a few problems with the charging of it as well. Have it not go off and still be put on the long cooldown
  3. Her q, my god her q. Removed ap ratios and its no longer a targeted hit but just a slam on the ground. It really only feels effective when you stun them against the wall. Any other time I have just found the enemy is moving and the q misses. I really miss the satisfying wap of her old q
  4. Her W - I like the concept a lot but it doesn't seem to last long enough to be that beneficial.
  5. All of her abilities when combined together in combat just seem clunky.

Those are just a few reasons why I don't care for the rework, and maybe it could be because of how much I loved playing that little invulnerable wap goblin. But I just feel like I wont be playing the new Poppy very much, if at all. (probably only when I get her in an aram)

Although I will say I do like the visual update a lot [slayer-jinx-catface]

Her ult is actually fantastic, when used right. Big teamfight coming up? BOOP, you don't have a tank. Trying to contest Baron? Not with your jungler on the next flight to toplane. Trying to gank her? Be sure to say hi to the scuttlecrab as you fly by. It's a massive improvement over her old ult for both teams.

it was the lore that really ruined it for me actually. For me she admired her father Blomgrun and wanted to be like him growing up.

It's a story no other yordles have, and as the yordle embassador she represented the older mature yordles rather then the younger one's and playing her I always felt a feeling of pride being poppy and that no matter the under dog feeling she would go in and fight to death to protect the yordle's

I do miss her ap ratio's though ap poppy was always so fun nobody played tank poppy except hp regen poppy. rip ap sion and now ap poppy

I like to imagine her as a mob boss sipping item 3174 with a machine gun lulu standing next to her :) I would have this stuffed poppy doll in my accord like woody from toy story so special now when people see my liceanse plate with poppy on it they think I'm into the anime moe stuff xD*[slayer-jinx-unamused]*
