Poppy is going to be so broken guys. Welcome to Season 2 all over again.
Poppy is going to be so broken guys. Welcome to Season 2 all over again.
I'm getting the complete brusier/antibruiser type like Garen or Mundo, more like Mundo in tank utility. With Poppy on peels, Lucian, Vi, Fizz, Malphite, Ekko, Riven, and champs like Katarina are going to have a seriously hard time engaging and changing team fights.
Then you have that ult which will just be OP in ranked play. Getting knocked into Red/Blue Buff on Baron/Dragon is game over on contested objectives.
Her W and R use will determine a good Poppy from the bad. So, I ain't worried to much. If you can CS, and avoid dying, she will be broken.
I'm looking forward to her tbh. It will be great to be able to protect my Squishies from predictable dives from Lee Sin or Yasuo and the likes.
Stand in front of them, wait for them to bait a dash. W WALL TO THE FACE.
If they could of just disabled to old poppy they would of. Just like Evelynn, Karma and Sion before her Poppy was a champion that they flat out disliked enough to almost completely delete. She's not the same champion anymore but that was their goal from the beginning of Poppy's development.
Seriously they've gone on record in saying there are champions they wanted to just delete. Vladimir and Old Soraka to name a few.
In Poppy's specific case they considered a viable Poppy much worse than making the few Poppy players happy. Just like Karma, Sion and Eve pissing off the few people who actually like this champion is worth less than making the people who don't do so.
You've not played against Vlad when he was really OP then. You'd stack spell vamp and do ridiculous damage plus be unkillable. And pool used to have give move speed. Tahm Kench is overpowered absolutely, but we've seen a lot worse and still have a lot worse. Tahm just needs to be CCed when something like Old Vlad had 5k health at 20 mins.
Vlad is only oppressive if he gets ahead in lane and you are forced to deal it with it solo. But there are a lot of other champions that are just as oppressive so I dont get why Vlad would be a problem. Nasus is the same shit, have fun laning against him when hes ahead of you. Yea he cant poke you out like Vlad but turning a Nasus lane into a farm lane is arguably worse

And to anyone saying new Poppy will be OP cause of her ult... its like you already completely forget what her ult is right now. Its the most OP ability in the entire freakin game
Looks pretty cool, but yeah that ult looks really fucking OP.
Lol, im going to love that rework.
Her existing skill set is extremely conflicted though. She's got "tank" written all over her, percentage max health damage is extremely common for tanks, so are extra defenses built into their kit and stuns, conditional or otherwise. Everything about her current model suggests she should, at first glance, be a tank too, she has a shield thats almost as big as she is and a massive hammer. But she's an Assasin, one thats deceptively durable and can do more or less whatever she pleases without consequence. If she gets ahead, even very slightly then your're in for a world of hurt, theres nothing you can do to stop her Ulting someone like Braum and then murdering the rest of his team before it wears off. Which is the core problem with her current kit - It doesn't allow you any real options when fighting her.
She also falls into that problem space where she cannot be allowed to ever be good or she'll just absolutely destroy games, so she has to be deliberately kept much weaker than she should be simply because the alternative is much worse for everyone involved. If she ever was buffed to a level where she could compete, she'd be immediately overpowered and Riot would be forced to nerf her back to where she was. The only way for them to get her to a place where she could concievably be balanced is to remake her from scratch.
I love what they did with Sion. Before he was an indistinct green blob that was almost never played, and when he was h made the other laner miserable when they eventually didn't have enough damage to pop his shield and he'd just keep dropping unavoidable burst on them. Now he spends his time smashing, yelling, charging and, most importantly, getting picked at all. The fact he's got a ton of personality crammed in there that carries through out everything from his VO to his skills is just icing on the cake. They really did a fantastic job with him in my opinion.
R.I.P. Noxus Poppy

Just going to leave this here. (lol'ed)
I liked old poppy. Gruff li'l McGruffin.
I hope they take the time to do another couple of smaller ones after Poppy too. I'd put Dr Mundo right at the top of the list for a makeover, he's in a place where his kit is more or less fine and he's seeing a lot of play right now, but his model looks totally antique compared to some of the newer champions. There's a lot of other champs in the same sort of position too, Amumu, Blitzcrank, Xin, Malphite etc. A few kit tweaks, a new model and they're good to go.
Dude I'm so ready to golf people off the screen!!!
The new poppy is clearly a Tank and disrupter.
Very crapy AD ratios.
I think she is one of the best tanks with:
-Tank Masteries
-Scaling Armor and MR runes
-her W passive
-Build Tanky
Her W passive plus a tanky build and masteries makes you one of the best tanks in the late game

Ugly Poppy is better than pretty Poppy.
I think it's impossible to carry with her like you used to.
That ultimate made you feel like a god at late game.
The only thing she is good at is disrupt tanking.
No, she can clearly carry.
Just had a Poppy do so. You have to know how to use her ult. If you don't use her ult properly you might as well pick a different champion. They went built like you would a Bruiser. Pen/AD, Scaling Hp, Scaling MR with MS quint. Item build was Triforce, Cleaver, Yomu, deadmans, banshee, and rageblade
And they roamed, mid, and Blue Jungle. It was over by 20. He was against Garen none the less.
We will see Poppy in the LCS, unless she gets nerfed to the ground. Almost every game is a Poppy now.
