Laning Against Poppy

Laning Against Poppy

Make sure you’re never near a wall otherwise Poppy will be able to use her Heroic ChargeE and push you into it.

Whenever Poppy throws her Buckler and it lands near you, try to step on it. However, do not over commit to destroying it as she may use your positioning to play aggressive.

Post 6 it’s going to be difficult for you to kill Poppy as she will probably use her Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR to knock you away. Keep this in mind and hold on to any CC abilities until she starts the channel.

Strategy VS Poppy

Strategy VS Poppy

Avoid fighting around objectives as Poppy may use her Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR to knock away the Jungler and cost your team the Baron/ Dragon.

In team fights, disengage and avoid team fighting in the jungle as it will allow Poppy to get a good knockup with her Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR or pick off a key target with her Heroic ChargeE.

Fighting around Poppy’s Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR is a good way of winning team fights. She will knock back the frontline and then engage on to the carries while the frontline is missing. Try to dodge her Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR, or use CC abilities on her so her channel is interrupted.

Poppy Power Spikes

Poppy Power Spikes

Depending on her build path, Poppy’s power spikes will change as her AD build and tank build have different power spikes.

Once Poppy hits level 6 and unlocks her Ultimate Keeper's VerdictR, she will have a lot more utility and be able able to disengage from a skirmish.

The longer the game goes, the tankier Poppy will become. Try and reduce her gold income by denying her farm in the early and mid-game.
