After questing all across the PBE, Poppy’s ready to bring her updated story, visuals, and gameplay to live. One of the largest champion updates since Sion, Poppy’s gameplay changes hammer home her role as a tanky teamfight disruptor capable of crushing even the best laid plans with a well-timed mallet smash. With new visuals that bring all of her models up to today’s standards, Poppy’s also the first champion update to include new splashes for each of her skins. Check out Poppy’s PBE debut article for the full gameplay changes and learn even more from her champion update Q&A.

To celebrate the updated yordle juggernaut, we’re bundling Poppy with her skins together and flattening the price. Her Hammer Time bundle weighs in at 3899 RP (25% off) and will be available from 11:00 PST December 9 through 23:59 PST December 14. Poppy's Hammer Time Bundle:

Poppy
Lollipoppy (Legacy)
Ragdoll Poppy (Legacy)
Blacksmith Poppy (Legacy)
Noxus Poppy (Legacy)
Battle Regalia Poppy
Scarlet Hammer Poppy

Lollipoppy, Ragdoll Poppy, Blacksmith Poppy, and Noxus Poppy are also available separately in the store through January 11 as a special promotion for Poppy’s champion update.

Here's the thing about most businesses: they are designed to turn a profit. Which means doing things to make money. Just saying =)

RieiidDec 9, 201543 votes

Because this is an update that will make people actually play her again, so people will want the skins.

I doubt you even had it when it ORIGINALLY came out. They re-released them and refunded RP to those who originally bought it. Still haven't had a survey to owners on how they handled the situation (poorly). Wish we had a tiered summoner icon and a special in-game emote with those skins... sigh Other than that I'd be fine with everyone having them.

LułuDec 9, 20154 votes

Same here ;c we're stuck with a lousy icon that looks about as good as a bronze icon, and a barely noticeable loading screen border :L

Lollipoppy has been on sale annually every Harrowing for the last few years; it originally came out in October 2010 and I haven't met many people with accounts that old (most of my friends and I started about month before that).

I owned it originally (like I own EVERY single Limited Edition skin when they first came out). It came out in October 2010 and was classified as a Limited Edition skin (never coming back). It was re-released back in 2013. They promised they'd do a follow up survey and look at further compensation for those who owned the original skins. We never got them.

scubb108Dec 10, 20152 votes

So I was in the champion screen, and I couldn't find the deformed 40 year old man anymore. Anyone know where they went?

Jester PoppyDec 10, 20152 votes

Could you please make her Heroic Charge prioritize champions? A few times playing vs Illaoi I have been unable to E her into a wall because there is a tentacle where she is standing. I don't know if there are other interactions like this but specifically with Illaoi I've been having issues.

NecraDec 12, 20152 votes

WHY THE EVER LOVING FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO CHANGE HER LORE?! IT WAS PERFECT!

NecraDec 12, 20152 votes

Also, am I the ONLY ONE who is really hating these lack-luster lore pages? They provide absolutely no info other than a quote and flavor text. What happened to your originality and creativity?

LethwynDec 14, 20152 votes

to be honest, I really like the new poppy. What I dislike is her lore 'upgrade'. I actually preferred the Iron Ambassador's lore to this weak 'updated' Keeper of the Hammer lore. Riot keeps doing this for a lot of champs with great and relevant lore- they keep changing them to a 3 sentence description of the champ that has little to do with the League of Legends as an institution rather than a game. No, i am not some crazy loony who likes league too much, just a player who enjoyed the lore aspect of the game- it was important enough that I bought champs based on them at times 0_0.

In short, i like the champ reworks, but hate the fact that Riot is changing league to be JUST a MOBA where champs are just characters with different abilities. The older lores gave the champs life and meaning.

oh dear sweet hatred yes!

First of all, Riot is trying to do the exact opposite of what you are saying. Have you looked at the champions, whom were featured in Bilgewater: Burning Tides and Shadow and fortune? Their lore are much longer than they were before, even adding short excerpts of events that define their character. You are right that Riot is moving lore away from League and the Institution, but only because trying to give characters a reason for fighting in the arena just did not make any sense. Before they would have like 3 sentences describing the character and like 2 more stating why they are in the institution. If you think that gave a character life then I really don't know what to say that. The new system of lore gives character more personal meaning, not some bland description that tries to explain what the hell they are doing there. Moving lore from league and enriching it with stories and game events actually gives champs value and allows them to grow and develop their lore.

PancakekeDec 9, 20151 votes

so wait with the rerelease do we keep poppy if we already have her? i'm confused some of the comments are saying that they're refuding rp since she's being rereleased????

Lust KonquersDec 9, 20153 votes

Yes, you will still have her and any skins you previously bought unlocked. Her kit has major changes and all of her skins have been updated.

Duke Swag gerDec 10, 20151 votes

the new poppy does not become a op champion, there are still many champion counters her, especially once she lost her old ability of invincible during ultimate time, she now can only throw away 2 or 3 champion which did not give actual support because most people would retreat once this happens, I tried graves against poppy and successfully counters her, she cannot even farm in lane due to graves's op ability, i strongly expect that the ability of poppy could be increase in next patch cuz right now she is much more useless than before

VenombotDec 12, 20152 votes

do you even know how to play the new poppy?

ShniperDec 13, 20151 votes

Tryndamere and Kayle next please. Specifically trynd, that ult....

KillBizDec 29, 20151 votes

Oh my gosh agreed. Tryndamere is so friken op it's ridoncilous. Now that being said, I haven't really seen him played in a while. I think it's like poppy tho, he will be reworked, then everyone will play him again.

DDukBeGiDec 23, 20151 votes

i think shen made his plastic surgery for poppy, but in lollypoppy why is there poppy's old face in the candies?

KillBizDec 28, 20151 votes

I've played through new Poppy so many times but I can't ever seem to do any damage. Is there specific items that I have to build? Plz help me I really wanna play her. Poppy
