I kind of feel like her old ult was a big part of her identity and I didn't see anything about why it's being removed from the game. The "1v1 me bruh" feel was really fun.

Hello

  1. To keep the tradition going: Crunchy or Smooth Peanut Butter?

  2. What is her favorite food?

  3. What made you guys decide on purple eye color? It is a very beautiful shade of purple, but what made you decide on it?

  4. Has she ever gave the hammer to Galio?

  5. Has she met Zac yet? I mean...he wants to be a Hero and she looking for a Hero...maybe...

Story behind retooling "demacia rising" from league music vol.1 for her theme? And about her backstory: will it be revealed where she got the hammer from? And are there any changes to how her father died and all that.

Oh and how did the sound team make her ultimate sfx its one of the most badass sounds I've heard in league.

How can a yordle hold this hammer with only one hand? Are yordles are stronger than we think? Or is she special?

I love the animated face and stuff, are you going to do face animations on the next Champions too?

Great job on this rework! Definitely worth the wait ^.^

Could you elaborate a bit on what she means with what the wiki says is her taunt to Tristana("I don't get Yordles. Too fluffy.")? Seems to be kind of an odd comment, considering, well, Poppy herself is a yordle :P. Does she feel closer to Demacia then she does to Bandle City, then?

With Poppy finalized, how happy are you with the "Great Yordle Unification Pass"?

I noticed almost Yordles, except Kennen, have their ears on the side.
Are Lulu's ears on top or the sides of her head? I need to know before Friday.

From a gameplay standpoint, I'm wondering about her passive. While the rest of her kit showcases a very 'in-your-face' kind of attack style (You can even use an uncharged Ult for a simple Knockup), her passive doesn't seem to fit with this style besides the shield. Do you see this passive as something of a catch-up mechanic if Poppy falls behind, or is it something more like "Poke enemy down before going all in".

What other variations of her ultimate did you try out? I'm sure you had a crazy idea or two.

Oh boy I'm on time!

Uh, so what were some other notable ideas you went through for the poppy rework?

Any testing with funny bugs for her rework?

A bit off topic, but and how is Aoshin coming? <3

So I saw PBE gameplay of Poppy and my question is why does new Poppy talk so much especially when her health is low. Not that it's annoying or anything she just talks way more than other champions in my opinion.

So while creating the new Poppy, did you guys come up with or conceptualize any cool ideas for a future skin? I may or may not have sketched out a couple possibilities with my rather amateurish skills...
