New Poppy looks good but I don't care for her VA.

There's an old saying that goes "If it ain't broke don't fix it"; Poppy's old voice was one of those times.

Before her rework she was a very no nonsense character who took things pretty seriously - even her sillly...ish? lines were more dry Bruce Willis stuff. At least before seemed like she was enjoying bopping people with her hammer. I especially liked her laugh "heh heh heh."

I'm just really confused by this new characterization of her; fleshing her out more means she needs to be more ditsy and goofy? Was she somehow not Yordle-y enough? Because that was kind of the point.

I mean, just look at the difference here:

Old "I'll settle this issue" "Their defeat is non-negotiable." "My convictions will not falter" "If it will bring peace"

New "You might wanna' look out" "Wow. That's a lot to hammer" "Man Quests are hard" "Just had a thought - three pigtails"

Regardless of her actual intelligence, Poppy comes off as really dumb. Well at least she's pretty.

Hmm didn't notice. That's a good observation though.
